1. Zero a dial gauge (A) on the end of the mainshaft.

1. Turn the mainshaft holder bolt (B) clockwise; stop turning when the dial gauge has reached its maximum movement. The reading on the dial gauge is the amount of mainshaft end play.
   NOTE: Do not turn the mainshaft holder bolt more than 60 degrees after the needle of the dial gauge stops moving. Applying more pressure with the mainshaft holder bolt may damage the transmission.

1. If the reading is within the standard, the clearance is correct. If the reading is not within the standard, recheck the shim thickness.

   Standard: | 0.14−0.21 mm (0.006−0.008 in.)
