(6) Check the drive gear and drive pinion for tooth contact.
If poor contact is evident, make adjustment. (Refer to
P.27-28.)(7) Measure the drive gear
runout at the shoulder on the
reverse side of the drive gear.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.)
(8) If the drive gear
runout exceeds the limit, reinstall by
changing the phase of the drive gear and differential
’
case, and remeasure.d

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3000GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, air bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be
removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(1)Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead to
personal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (from
rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.(3) MITSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B
