1. Find reverse gear shim thickness (T2)
by selecting shims until the specified
measurement (M) with the special tool
is obtained.
NOTE:
Be sure to remove the O-ring from under
the thrust washer.
2. Using a digital caliper at the specified
measurement (M) established above,
measure the distance between the
washer top and special tool top as
shown.

3. R is the deviation of the lower case
dimension from standard. It is stamped
on the trim tab mounting surface of the
lower case in 0.01 mm units. If the R
mark is missing or unreadable, assume
an R mark of “0” and check the back-
lash when the unit is assembled.
