Gear Shift Shaft and Fork Inspection

1)Using feeler gauge, check clearance between fork (1) and sleeve (2) and replace those parts if the clearance exceeds limit of 0.4 mm (0.016 in.).

NOTE:

For correct judgement of parts replacement, carefully check contact portion of fork and sleeve.

Clearance “a” between fork and sleeve

Standard: 0.55 – 0.75 mm (0.022 – 0.030 in.) (high speed gear)

Standard: 0.05 – 0.25 mm (0.002 – 0.010 in.) (except high speed gear)

Service limit: 0.4 mm (0.016 in.)

2)Insert each gear shift shaft into case and check that it moves smoothly. If not, correct burns or dents with oilstone, reamer or the like.
