INSPECTION
Check the gear and the dog holes for abnormal or excessive
wear, or signs of insufficient lubrication; replace as necessary.
Measure the gear I.D.. Replace the gear if the service limit is
exceeded.
Check the bushing for wear or damage.
Measure the bushing I.D. and O.D.. Replace the bushing if
the service limit is exceeded.
Calculate the gear-to-bushing clearance. Replace either
component if its service limit is exceeded.
Measure the 0.D.of the countershaft or output drive shaft at
the sliding area. Replace the shaft if the service limit is
exceeded.
Calculate the shaft-to-bushing clearance. If it is beyond the
service limit, determine if a new bushing would bring the
clearance within tolerance. If so, replace the bushing. If the
clearance still exceeds the service limit with a new bushing,
replace the shaft.
Measure the damper spring free length. Replace
the free length exceeds the service limit.
