Transmission Overhaul Notes
1. Removing and installing 5th and 6th driven gears from the end of the ouput shaft requires considerable
force. The specified puller tools should be used, but when pulling 5th speed driven gear, the claws of the
tool may require some grinding to allow complete and proper fitment, and an anti-spreading device is rec-
ommended to be fitted around the three claws. Striking the puller bolt with a hammer in between tightening
steps will help shock the gear from its interference fit, and engaging two gears to lock the transmission
will also aid the process.
2. The preload on the differential carrier taper roller bearings is controlled by shims between the bearing
outer race and the clutch housing, and is determined by installing the final drive assembly in an otherwise
empty casing, and measuring the steady rotation torque.
3. If the input shaft oil seal is to be replaced, the bearing should also be renewed since this is likely to be
damaged during oil seal removal.
4. The transmission cross-shaft reverse select compression spring shown in the Toyota Repair Manual is
removed for the Lotus application. When fitting a replacement transmission, compare the cross shaft
spring loading of the old and new units to determine whether this modification has been carried out.
