Inspection
- After clearing, check for damage parts or abrasion. Follow the below method, if any are noticed.
- Check the tooth contact pattern.
WARNING
1) Tooth contact pattern is a method for judging the result of the adjustmentof drive pinion height and final drive gear backlash. The adjustment of drivepinion height and final drive gear backlash should be repeated until the toothcontact patterns are similar to the standard tooth contact pattern.
2) When you cannot obtain a correct pattern, the drive gear and drive pinionhave exceeded their limits.
Both gears should be replaced as a set.
