Abstract

This paper studies the methodology of measurement of Drive train Backlash of the Vehicle including gearbox and rear axle at
vehicle level. Many attempts have been made by the engineers to measure the Backlash of the system. Some conventional methods
includes the use of dial gauge indicator, filler gauge etc., but all the methods are either time consuming or required a skilled
worker to do the work. The method explained in this paper is an innovative technique of measurement of backlash of the Light
Commercial and Passenger vehicle consisting of manual gear box and rear axle at vehicle level of the system. i.e. measurement of
the backlash without disassembling the gearbox and rear axle.
