4j. Test-spin the input shaft:
Neutral
• With both shift shafts in neutral, the output
shaft should not spin with any significant force
when the input shaft is turned. It may spin lightly
from internal friction.
Low Gear
• Push the low gear shift shaft in until the end of
the shaft extends 1-3/8" (3.5cm) from the case.
A click will be felt as it leaves neutral position.
• Rotate the input shaft. The output shaft should
rotate in the same direction as the input shaft at
roughly 1/10 the speed of the input shaft.
• Return the low gear shift shaft to neutral.
Reverse Gear
• Pull the forward-neutral-reverse shift shaft into
the reverse position. The end of the shaft
should extend 2-3/8" (6.03 cm) from the case.
A click will be felt as it leaves neutral position
• Rotate the input shaft. The output shaft should
spin in the opposite direction at less than 1/10
the speed of the input shaft.
• Return the low gear shift shaft to neutral.
Forward Gear (high)
• Push the forward-neutral-reverse shift shaft in,
past neutral. A click will be felt as it passes-
through the neutral position. Continue until the
shift shaft extends 1-9/16" (3.97cm) from the
case. This is forward gear.
• Rotate the input shaft. The output shaft should
spin in the same direction at roughly 1/5 the
speed of the input shaft.
• Return the low gear shift shaft to neutral.
4k. If any of the above checks does not hold
true, or if any unusual noises are heard
while performing the tests, identify and
correct the cause before continuing. It
may help to remove the left side case half
and carefully repeat the test to see what is
not working properly.

4l. Insert the detent balls, followed by the
detent springs into the detent bores.
See Figure 2.142.
4m. Apply a thin layer of RTV sealant to the flat
portion of the detent plate. Fasten the
plate so that the bosses fit into the detent
bores, using the 1/4"-20 screw.
4n. Remove the screws that hold the case
together and remove the left case half.
4o. Apply a small bead of sealant to the seal-
ing surface, install the left side case half,
and secure them together using the
screws. See Figure 2.143.

4p. Tighten the screws to a torque of 200-260
in-lbs. (22.6-29.4 N-m), in an even pat-
tern.
