How to compensate for gearbox looseness:
The engine gearbox will have a certain amount of backlash — backlash is
looseness between gear teeth in a gear train. Because of backlash, the
engine will not move until the slack in the gears is taken up. This step tells the
FutureDrive how much backlash is present, so it can compensate and make
precise movements.
Note:
If the selected engine is not bi-directional, the FutureDrive will skip this step.
