Rear Planetary Gear Inspection





- Measure Planetary Pinion Gear Thrust Clearance
Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear thrust clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008 - 0.020 inch)
Maximum clearance: 0.5 mm (0.020 inch)


If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the planetary gear assembly.
