always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between
the transfer housing and the vise.

19. lf the transfer gear tooth contact is incorrect, adjust
the transfer gear tooth contact with a 35 mm or 25
mm thrust shim.
NOTE:
. To select a 35 mm thrust shim, refer to page '13-
. Do not use more than one 35 mm shim to adjust
the transfer gear tooth contact.
. To select the 25 mm thrust shim, refer to page
13-55.
a Do not use more than one 25 mm shim to adjust
the transfer gear tooth contact.
Toe Contact
Use a thicker 35 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer driven gear shaft toward the transfer drive
gear. Because this movement causes the transfer
gear backlash to change, move the transfer drive
gear away from the transfer driven gear shaft to
adjust the transfer gear backlash as iollows;
. Increase the thickness of the 25 mm thrust
shim.
. Reduce the thickness of the 68 mm thrust
shim bv the amount of increased thickness of
the 25 mm thrust shim.
Heol Contact
Use a thinner 35 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer driven gear shaft away from the transfer
drive gear. Because this movement causes the
transfer gear backlash to change, move the trans-
fer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft
to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:
. Reduce the thickness of the 25 mm thrust
sh im.
a Increase the thickness of the 68 mm thrust
shim by the amount of reduced thickness of
the 25 mm thrust shim.
Flank Contact
Use a thinner thrust shim to move the transfer
drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft.
Flank contact must be adtusted within the limits
of the transfer gear backlash. lf the backlash
exceeds the limits, adjust as described under
Heel Contact.
Face Contsct
Use a thicker thrust shim to move the transfer
drive gear away from the transfer driven gear
shaft. Face contact must be adjusted within the
limits of the transjer gear backlash. lf the back-
lash exceeds the limits, adjust as described
under Toe Contact.
