4-18 DRIVE TRAIN
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
BACKLASH
• Install the removed left and right side shim(s) and front drive
train (differential) gear assembly.
• Assemble the gear case cover. (
$
4-15)
NOTE:
At this time, it is not necessary to apply a sealant to the mating
surface of the gear case.
Remove the oil filler cap and measure the backlash of the front
drive train (differential) ring gear with the horizontal type dial
gauge
1
and drive shaft
2
, as shown. Take backlash readings
at three places while turning the front drive train (differential) ring
gear slightly in each direction and securely holding the drive
bevel gear. Read the total backlash on the dial gauge.
Remove the dial gauge and turn the drive train (differential) ring
gear to 120°, then measure the backlash. Repeat this procedure
once more and compare the difference of the three measure-
ments.
If the backlash is not within specification, the shim must be
changed and the backlash should be re-checked until the back
lash is within specification. Refer to the chart at the right for the
appropriate shim thickness.
&
Backlash
Standard: 0.05 – 0.10 mm (0.0020 – 0.0040 in)
NOTE:
Adjust the backlash by referring to the chart at the right and
using the thickness of the removed shims as a guide.
If the backlash is too small, replace the right side shim(s) with a
thicker one.
If the backlash is too large, replace the right side shim(s) with a
thinner one.
If the right side shim was changed with a 0.10 mm thicker shim,
replace the left side shim with one that is 0.10 mm thinner.
