Ring Gear: Adjustments
Backlash
1. If the backlash exceeds the standard, correct by decreasing the shim thickness on one side and increasing the thickness of the other shim the same
amount.
NOTE: The total thickness of both shims must still equal the total thickness of the original shims. If there is too much backlash, move the ring
gear toward the drive pinion. If there is not enough backlash, move the ring gear away from the drive pinion.
2. After adjustment, recheck backlash.
