REVERSE IDLER GEAR SHAFT COMPONENTS INSPECTION

Thrust and Radial Clearance Inspection

1. Align the thrust washer rotation lock projection and reverse idle gear shaft groove position as shown in the figure, and install the reverse idle gear shaft component to the clutch housing.

2. Measure the thrust clearance of the reverse idler gear using a dial gauge.

(mm {in})

Gear	Thrust clearance
Reverse idler gear	0.40-1.05 {0.0158-0.0413}

• If not within the specification, replace the malfunctioning parts.

3. Measure the radial clearance of the reverse idler gear using a dial gauge.

Gear	Radial clearance
Reverse idler gear	0.015-0.048 {0.00059-0.00188}

• If not within the specification, replace the malfunctioning parts.

Reverse Idler Gear and Shaft Inspection

1. Inspect the shaft for damage, abnormal wear, dents, flaking, or bending.

• If there is a malfunction, replace the shaft.

2. Inspect the gears for damage, abnormal wear, dents, flaking, or bending.
