Bearings/Thrust Washers
Inspect t h e roller, b a l l a n d needle bearings. Be
sure t h e bearings are clean a n d d r y before inspec-
t i o n . Replace a n y b e a r i n g t h a t is r o u g h , corroded,
b r i n n e l l e d , galled, w o r n , o r scored. Lubricate t h e
bearings w i t h engine o i l after inspection.
Check condition o f t h e countershaft gear t h r u s t
washers, replace t h e washers i f cracked, worn, or
damaged i n any way.
Gears
Inspect a l l of t h e transmission gears for worn, bro-
k e n , chipped teeth. Replace gears as necessary. M i -
nor nicks or b u r r s o n gear t e e t h can be dressed off
w i t h a n oilstone.
Inspect the teeth and splines on the drive pinion. I f
either are excessively w o r n , o r are broken or chipped,
a new p i n i o n should be i n s t a l l e d . I f t h e o i l seal con-
tact area on the p i n i o n is p i t t e d , rusted, or scratched,
a new p i n i o n should be i n s t a l l e d to preserve the o i l
seal and prevent c l u t c h c o n t a m i n a t i o n .
Levers/Forks/Gearshift Housing
Inspect t h e interlock levers, shift forks, operating
levers and shafts. Be sure these parts are free of dis-
t o r t i o n , or cracks a t the detent and clearance notches
a n d a t each end o f levers. Check the shift forks for
wear on the pads and shafts. Replace components ex-
h i b i t i n g damage or excessive wear.
Inspect the shaft bores i n t h e gearshift housing. Be
sure the bores are free o f b u r r s . The seal surfaces o f
t h e housing must be i n good condition and not dam-
aged i n a n y way. Verify t h a t t h e operating lever
shafts f i t smoothly and are bind-free.
Synchronizer Components
Inspect the splines and t e e t h o n t h e synchronizer
clutch gears and sleeves. I f there is evidence of chip-
p i n g or excessively w o r n t e e t h , i n s t a l l new parts a t

on the clutch gear.
Synchronizer springs should be i n place w i t h t h e
t a n g inside t h e cavity o f one s t r u t and should n o t
show signs o f interference
w i t h t h e polished gear
cones or inside diameters o f t h e clutch gears.
