CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Clean all parts (except bearings) in cleaning solvent and
blow dry with compressed air.
2. Check gear teeth for damage. If gears are pitted, scored,
rounded, cracked or chipped, they should be replaced.
3. Inspect the engaging dogs on the gears. Replace the
gears if dogs are rounded, cracked, battered, chipped or
dimpled.
4. Discard all retaining rings that were removed.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
During assembly, the split bearings (7) and the internal
bores of the gears must be lubricated with SPORT-
TRANS FLUID prior to assembly. Leaving these parts dry
could accelerate wear at start-up and may result in vehi-
cle damage.
1. Find a section of pipe that matches the inner race of
mainshaft bearing (28). See
assembly, outside downward, on a press with the inner
race of bearing (28) resting on the section of pipe. Insert
the splined end of the shaft through the bearing and hold
in a vertical position. Press the shaft into the bearing
until the bearing bottoms against the shaft shoulder.
