Drive Gear Backlash

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Set a dial gauge against the drive gear teeth edge and fix the drive pinion. Rotate the drive gear to measure the backlash at four or more points.

    Standard value: 0.08 - 0.15 mm (0.004 - 0.005 inch) 

  2. When the backlash is not within the standard value range, adjust the final drive gear backlash. (Refer to REASSEMBLY  .)
  3. After the adjustment, check the final drive gear teeth contact.
