Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / automotive | | English term or phrase: anti lash plate | This is in a wordlist, no context. Related terms:
conical anti-lash spring
anti-lash plate spring
This is most probably a part at the counter gear. I found the following sentence on the net:
Worn or damaged countergear anti-lash plate
I presume that this part has the purpose to eliminate the gear backlash, but I am not sure.
Please only qualified answers from automotive specialists. |

| Grading comment I finally found, what I was looking for. "lash" here is the abbreviated form of backlash, which is "Zahnflankenspiel" in German.
The "anti-backlash plate" is also called "anti-rattle" plate and is mounted to the countergear. It's only use is to keep gears preloaded in neutral when there is no load on them. Some engine harmonics can cause gears to rattle or buzz in neutral.
Therefore I have translated it as "Zahnflankenspiel-Ausgleichsscheibe"
We never stop learning, even after 100,000s pages of automotive translations :-)
Thanks for your help anyway.
