The sleeve was always interlocked, the contact pattern measured, then disengaged, rotated by 90°, interlocked again and the contact pattern measured again. This was done 4 times, always with a by 90°. The contact pattern was evaluated as one path contact pattern, i.e., between the same specific teeth all the time. It was found that for a load level of 80 Nm the contact pattern is affected. (Figure 13).
