Gearshift fork to groove clearance
| Note the clearance for each gearshift fork plays an important role in the smoothness and positiveness of the shifting action. |
Using the thickness gauge, check the gearshift fork clearance in the groove of its gear.
If the clearance checked is noted to exceed the limit specified, replace the fork or its gear, or both.
Special tool
(a): 09900–20803 (thickness gauge)
Gearshift fork to gearshift fork groove clearance standard: 0.1 – 0.3 Mm (0.004 – 0.012 In) service limit: 0.5 Mm (0.02 In)
Gearshift fork groove width
Measure the gearshift fork groove width using the vernier calipers.
Special tool
(a): 09900–20102 (vernier calipers
(200 mm))
Gearshift fork groove width standard: 5.0 – 5.1 Mm (0.197 – 0.201 In)
Gearshift fork thickness
Measure the gearshift fork thickness using the vernier calipers.
Special tool
(a): 09900–20102 (vernier calipers
(200 mm))
Gearshift fork thickness standard: 4.8 – 4.9 Mm (0.189 – 0.193 In)
