• If the backlash is not within specification, the shims (Driven
bevel gear side) must be changed and the backlash should be
re-checked until correct.
Refer to the chart for appropriate changes.
NOTE:
When changing the shims (Driven bevel gear side), measure the
thickness of old shims. Using the thickness of the old shims as a
guide, adjust the backlash by referring to the chart.

TOOTH CONTACT
After bringing the backlash within specification by changing the
secondary driven bevel gear shims, it will be necessary to check
tooth contact.
• Remove the secondary gear case. ("4-4)
• Clean and degrease the secondary drive bevel gear teeth,
and apply a coating of machinist's layout dye or paste to sev-
eral teeth.
• Reinstall the secondary gear case, with removed shims.
• Rotate the secondary driven bevel gear coupling several turns
in both directions.
• Remove the secondary gear case from the crankcase, and
observe the tooth contact pattern made in the dye or paste.
• Compare the tooth contact pattern to the examples as shown
in 1, 2 and 3.
