Tooth Contact Of HYPOID Driven Gear

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Check tooth contact of hypoid driven gear as follows: Apply a thin uniform coat of red lead on both teeth surfaces on 3 or 4 teeth of the driven gear. Rotate the transmission main shaft to move the driven gear back and forth until a definite contact pattern is developed on the driven gear, and judge whether face contact is correct. When the contact pattern is not correct, adjust. Ref. to MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL (6MT)>Front Differential Assembly>ADJUSTMENT .

Tooth contact is correct.
