shift fork (Fig. 29), as the mainshaft is completely
withdrawn from the case.
Countershaft Gear
(1) Using a feeler gauge measure the end play of
the countershaft gear (Fig. 30). The end play should
be from .0045 to .028 inch. This measurement will
determine if new thrust washers are to be installed at
reassembly.
(2) Using countershaft bearing arbor, Tool C-578
for A-903 transmission or C-3834 for A-745 transmis-
sion, drive the countershaft toward the rear of the
case until the small key can be removed from the
countershaft.
(3) Drive the countershaft the remaining way out
of the case, keeping the arbor tight against the end of
the countershaft to prevent loss of the bearing rollers.
