• This cleara nce for each o f t he three shift
forks plays an important role in the smoothness
and positiveness of shifting action. Each fork has
its
pro~gs fi~ted int~
the annu lar groove prov id·
ed . in its gear. In operation, there is sliding
contact between ' fork and gear and, when a
shifting action is initiated, the fork pushes the
gear axially. Too much a 'Clearance is, therefore,
liable to cause the meshed gears to slip apart.
• If the clearance checked is noted to exceed the
lim it specified, replace the fork or its gear, or
both .
