CLEANING
Clean the gears, shafts, shift components and
transmission housings with a standard parts clean-
ing solvent. Do not use acid or corrosive base sol-
vents. Dry all parts except bearings with compressed
air.
SLEEVE
Clean the shaft bearings with a mild solvent such
as Mopar degreasing solvent, Gunk, or similar sol-
vents. Do not dry the bearings with compressed air.
Allow the bearings to either air dry, or wipe them dry
with clean shop towels.
INSPECTION
NOTE: Minor nicks on the surface can be smoothed
off with 320/420 grit emery cloth and final polished
with oil coated crocus cloth.
SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY
The shift lever assembly is not serviceable. Replace
the lever and shift tower as an assembly if the tower,
lever, lever ball or internal components are worn or
damaged.
SHIFT SHAFT AND FORKS
Inspect the shift fork interlock arms and synchro
sleeve contact surfaces (Fig. 33). Replace any fork
exhibiting wear or damage in these areas. Do not
attempt to salvage shift forks.
Check condition of the shift shaft detent plunger
and spring. The plunger should be smooth and free of
nicks or scores. Replace the plunger and spring if in
doubt about condition. Check condition of detent
plunger bushings. Replace if damaged.
Inspect the shift shaft, shift shaft bushing and
bearing. The shaft lever and the lever bushing that
fits over the lever. Replace the shaft if bent, cracked
or severely scored. Replace the shift shaft bushing or
bearing if damaged.
Replace the shaft lever and bushing if either part
is deformed or worn. Do not attempt to salvage these
parts as shift fork binding will occur. Replace the roll
pin that secures the lever to the shaft.
