(7) Install Adapter 6747-2B on front bearing hub
of countershaft. The adapter has a shoulder on one
side that goes towards the countershaft.
(8) Slide countershaft (and adapter) into fixture
slot. Verify countershaft and output shaft gears are
fully meshed with the mainshaft gears (Fig. 89).
(9) Check alignment of countershaft and output
shaft gear teeth. Note that gears may not align per-
fectly. A difference in height of 1.57 to 3.18 mm (1/16
to 1/8 in.) will probably exist. This difference will not
interfere with assembly.
(10) Position reverse idler in support cup of assem-
bly fixture (Fig. 90). Ensure idler gear is properly
meshed and aligned with shaft gear teeth and that
bolt holes are facing out and not toward geartrain.
Adjust pedestal up or down if necessary. Also be sure
that short end of idler shaft is facing up as shown.
