Maximum clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)





2. MEASURE EACH GEAR OIL CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the oil clearance of each gear.
Standard clearance:
1st and 2nd gear
0.009 - 0.060 mm (0.0004 - 0.0024 in.)
3rd gear
0.060 - 0.103 mm (0.0024 - 0.0041 in.)
Maximum clearance:
1st and 2nd gear

If the clearance exceeds the limit, replace the gear, shaft or needle roller bearing.
