reverse sliding gear on the shaft with the shifting

fork
groove
toward the rear.
e. Assemble the
second
speed
gear on the shaft
with the
teeth
which
engage
in the clutch
sleeve

toward the front of the case.
f.
Next,
assemble
the synchronizer unit. The as­ sembly
sequence
of the synchronizer is shown in

Fig.
J-12.
First
install the two springs in the high
and intermediate clutch hub. These springs must
be installed with the spring
tension
opposed.
Place the right lipped end of a spring in a
slot
of the
hub and place the spring in the hub.
Turn
the hub
around and make exactly the same installation
with the other spring starting with the same
slot.
Fig.
J-5. Install the three synchronized shifting

plates
in the three
slots
in the hub with the
smooth

side
of the
plates
out. Hold the
plates
in
position

and slip the
second
and direct
speed
clutch
sleeve
over the hub. Install the two blocking rings one
one each
side
of the hub.
g. Place
some
heavy
grease
in the main shaft
pilot and
position
the thirteen
needle
type
roller bearings.

h.
Install the main drive gear. If the bearing has

been
removed,
note
that the closed
side
is assembled
toward the inside of the case.

i.
Enter
the main shaft bearing in the case and

assemble
the shaft in position.

j.
Install the front bearing retainer. k. For
ease
in installing the countershaft, turn the
transmission case over to allow the gears to mesh.

With
the countershaft thrust washers correctly
positioned,
start the countershaft through the rear
of the case with the lock plate
slot
toward the rear

T14A
TRANSMISSION
The
T14A is a three
speed
fully synchronized (all

forward
gears) transmission with helical drive gears
throughout.

The
main drive gear is supported by a
ball
bearing at the front end of the transmission case and is
piloted at its front end in an oil impregnated bush­
ing mounted in the crankshaft.

The
front end of the mainshaft is piloted in a row
of
roller
bearings set
into
the hollow end of the main

drive
gear and the
rear
end is
carried
by a
ball

bearing
mounted in the
rear
transmission case.
The
counter gear is
carried
on a single row of

rollers
at both ends. The reverse idler gear is
carried

on a single row of rollers in the center.
Thrust
is

taken
on thrust washers located
between
the
ends

of the counter and reverse idler gear and the thrust
bosses
in the case.

The
three forward gears (low, second, third) are

fully
synchronized. The synchronizer assemblies
consist of
clutch
hubs, clutch
sleeves,
clutch springs,

and
three synchronizer plates and are retained on
the mainshaft by a
select
fit snap
ring.
The
shift is manual through a cane shift lever and
interlock
assembly to the
rearward
shift fork
operating low and reverse gear and to the forward
shift fork operating second and
third
gear.

ASSEMBLIES

Important:
Should a synchronizer assembly
(either low-and-reverse or second-and-high) be re­
placed for any reason on a cane shift transmission,
the shift fork that operates the synchronizer being
replaced must have an identifying letter "A" ap­ pearing just under the shaft
hole
on the side

opposite
the pin. If the letter "A"
does
not appear
on the existing fork, it must be replaced with a fork that has a letter "A" appearing thereon.
