INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a feeler gauge, measure the reverse idler gear thrust clearance. Standard Clearance: 0.40 to 1.05 mm (0.0157 to 0.0413 in.) Maximum Clearance: 1.05 mm (0.0413 in.) If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the reverse idler gear, needle roller bearing, and reverse idler gear shaft. |

2. INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the reverse idler gear radial clearance. Standard Clearance: 0.015 to 0.048 mm (0.000591 to 0.00189 in.) Maximum Clearance: 0.048 mm (0.00189 in.) If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the reverse idler gear, needle roller bearing, and reverse idler gear shaft. |

No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 600 miles (1,000 km) may add to the performance, economy, and life of the vehicle.
Do not race the engine. Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time. Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time. Avoid unnecessary hard stops. Avoid full-throttle starts.
