Output Shaft: Disassembly

NOTE: When pressing off components, hold the shaft so that it does not fall.
  1. Measure the output shaft clearances.
    1. Measure the clearance between 1st gear and the differential drive gear. First gear endplay is 0.05-0.33 mm (0.002-0.013 in).
    2. Measure the clearance between 2nd gear and secondary 3rd gear. Second gear endplay is 0.18-0.51 mm (0.007-0.20 in).
