will be wiped off by the release bearing
sleeve when the transmission is assembled
to the clutch.
2. Always check wear on clutch release yoke lingers and
replace the yoke if necessary.
3. Shift transmission into gear so that the main drive gear
can be rotated during assembly to align with clutch driven disc

this position during early part of assembly. Enter main dnve
gear into clutch release bearing sleeve
(H-1 ).
Slide transmis-
sion forward slowly to pick up driven disc splined hubs. It may
be necessary to rotate companion flange slowly to align the
splines of drive gear and clutch discs (figure 5-33).
