Method 2
NOTE! When calculating the shim thickness for the
forward and reverse gears, remember:
The upper gear housing nominal dimension has
two values.
If the stamped number is 50 or more, use the lower
nominal value, 61.00 mm.
If the stamped number is 49 or less, use the higher
nominal value, 62.00 mm.
Example:
Stamping 50 or more
“C” stamping: 78
= 00.78 mm
Use Nominal Dimension = 61.00 mm
61.78 mm
Example:
Stamping 49 or less
“C” stamping: 43
= 00.43 mm
Use Nominal Dimension = 62.00 mm
62.43 mm
Then follow the procedure in chapter
Checking the
gear backlash and contact pattern.
