• ◆ Depth gauge

• ‒ → Clamp input shaft in vice using soft jaws -A-.
• ‒ Place distance gauge 3167 onto 3rd speed sliding gear.

• ‒ Place gearbox housing over input shaft onto the distance gauge.

Calculating dimension "x"

• ‒ → Place depth gauge onto gearbox housing and measure to the lower circlip groove in the input shaft.
• ‒ Measurement in following example: -a- = 28.50 mm

• ‒ → Place depth gauge onto gearbox housing and measure to seating surface for ball bearing.
• ‒ Measurement in following example: -b- = 26.80 mm
