3. CHECK OIL CLEARANCE OF EACH GEAR
Using a dial indicator, measure the oil clearance be-
tween the gear and input or output shaft with the needle
roller bearing installed.
Standard clearance:
1 st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears
0.009 ± 0.053 mm
(0.0004 ± 0.0021 in.)
5th gear 0.009 ± 0.050 mm
(0.0004 ± 0.0020 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.070 mm (0.0028 in.)
if the clearance exceeds the limit, replace the gear,
needle roller bearing or shaft.
