NOTE:
•
Do not install the water pump compo-
nents when measuring the backlash.
•
Measure both the forward and reverse
gear backlashes.
•
If both the forward and reverse gear
back-lashes are larger than specification,
the pinion gear may be too high.
•
If both the forward and reverse gear
back-lashes are smaller than
specification, the pinion gear may be too
low.
•
If either of these conditions exist, then
check the pinion gear shim(s) selection.
