If clearance is not within limits of .010-.140 in. (0.25-3.5 mm), it may indicate excessive
wear of solenoid linkage shift lever yoke buttons or improper assembly of shift lever
mechanism. Check for proper assembly, and recheck gap. If still excessive, replace
worn or defective parts, since no provision is made for adjusting pinion clearance.

Commutator End Frame Gap
To keep the ignition-proof and safety requirement, the gap between the commutator end
frame and field coil housing must be checked. See specifications. If the gap exceeds mea-
surement when checked with a feeler gauge, the end frame should be checked for proper
seating on the field coil housing. If properly seated and still found to have excessive gap,
the end frame must be replaced.
