7A1-2 MANUAL TRANSMISSION (J18 ENGINE MODEL)
CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICING
The transmission provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchronizers and three
shafts: input shaft, countershaft and reverse gear shaft. All forward gears are in constant mesh, and reverse uses
a sliding idler gear arrangement.
The low speed synchronizer is mounted on countershaft and engaged with countershaft first gear or second gear,
while the high speed synchronizer is done on input shaft and engaged with input shaft third gear or fourth gear.
The fifth speed synchronizer on input shaft is engaged with input shaft fifth gear mounted on the input shaft.
The countershaft turns the final gear and differential assembly, thereby turning the front drive shafts which are at-
tached to the front wheels.
For servicing, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transmission case which
is made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tightened to specified torque by means of torque wrench.
It is also important that all parts are thoroughly cleaned with cleaning fluid and air dried before reassembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of countershaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.
