Pinion Gap

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Subaru Forester, 2003 Subaru Forester, and 2002 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the pinion gap while the pinion is pulled out. See Fig 1 . If the motor is running with the pinion forced endwise on shaft, disconnect the connector from terminal M of switch assembly, and then connect terminal M to ground terminal (-) of battery with a lead wire. Next, gently push the pinion back with your fingertips, and then measure the pinion gap.
  2. If the pinion gap is outside specified range, remove or add number of adjustment washers used on the mounting surface of switch assembly until correct pinion gap is obtained.
