Using a dial gauge and a magnet base, measure the backlash between the differential bevel gear and differential bevel pinion. Adjust the backlash if not within specified limit. Ref. to MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL (6MT)>FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY>INSPECTION>DIFFERENTIAL BEVEL PINION GEAR BACKLASH .
NOTE: Be sure the bevel pinion gear teeth contact adjacent gear teeth during measurement.
