0.08±0.13 mm (0.0031±0.0051 in.)
NOTICE: The difference between the maximum and minimum
measured values must be less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

when selecting washers, so make a memo of the values.
If the backlash is not within the specification replace the
washer on the ring gear side with one of a different thickness
using the following procedure.

If the measure preload is less than specification, replace the
washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with a thicker
one.
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with thinner one.
HINT: Changing the snap ring thickness by 0.02 mm (0.0008
in.) will change the total preload by approx. 0.1 N Vm (1 kgf Vcm,
0.9 in. Vlbf)
16. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at three different position on the ring gear with red lead.
(b) Hold the companion flange firmly and rotate the ring gear in both directions.
(c) Inspect the tooth contact pattern.
If tooth contact pattern is not correct, replace the adjusting
washer installed on the front of the drive pinion rear bearing
to adjust it.
NOTICE: Be sure to always use a new part when replacing ad-
justing washer.
HINT: Refer to the table below for selection of the adjusting
washer.
