- Inspect teeth on pinion gear, idler gear, drive plate ring gear, and clutch assembly for wear or damage. If damaged, replace gear or clutch assembly.
- Inspect clutch pinion gear by rotating pinion gear counterclockwise. Ensure gear turns freely in counterclockwise direction, but locks up when turned clockwise. See Fig 1. If not as specified, replace clutch assembly.
