BACKLASH
BACKLASH
NOTE:
Both forward gear backlash and reverse


gear backlash be measured.
If both forward gear backlash and reverse


gear backlash are smaller than specified,
the pinion may be too low.
If either of these conditions exist, then


check the pinion shim selection.
MEASURING THE FORWARD GEAR
