GEARSHIFT FORK AND GEAR
GEARSHIFT-FORK-TO-GEARSHIFT-FORK GROOVE
CLEARANCE
Clearance for each gearshift fork plays an important role in the
smoothness and positiveness of the shifting process.
Measure the gearshift fork clearance in the groove of its respec-
tive gear using the thickness gauge.
If the clearance exceeds specification, replace the fork, its re-
spective gear, or both.
