Tooth Contact Pattern Inspection
- Remove transfer cover "B", then apply Prussian Blue to both sides of the transfer gear teeth lightly and evenly. See Fig 1 .
- Rotate the companion flange in both directions until the transfer gear rotates one full turn in both directions.
- Check the transfer gear tooth contact pattern. The pattern should be centered on the gear teeth. See Fig 2 .
- If the starting torque measurement or the tooth contact pattern are not correct, dissemble the transfer assembly, replace worn or damaged parts, and reassemble it. See DISASSEMBLY .
