A method of providing a predetermined backlash for a transmission comprising at least a first and a second interlocking toothed gear, the backlash being provided by positioning the first and second gear with respect to each other by means of spacer material applied to at least part of an upright sidewall of at least one first tooth, the upright sidewall facing a second tooth of the second gear adjacent to the first tooth, the layer of spacer material being pressed in between the first and the second tooth, the thickness of the layer of spacer material determining the predetermined backlash between the first and the second tooth.
