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.

transmission are similar in design with exception of
the second
speed
gear-to-mainshaft arrangement.
In
the model T-18 transmission, the second
speed

gear is a slide fit on the mainshaft, whereas in the
model T-98 transmission roller bearings and a
spacer are required in this area. Refer to Figs. Jl-3
and
Jl-4.

a.
Remove the transmission to transfer case adapter plate and gasket. Remove the oil seal from
the plate and, if damaged, discard the seal.
b. Remove the transmission control housing as­
sembly. Refer to paragraph Jl-4 for its dis­
assembly.
c. To make certain the two blocking rings, direct-

and-third
clutch hub, and direct-and-third clutch
sleeve
will
be assembled in their original relation­

ship,
mark them with a quick drying lacquer or an
electric pencil. Also mark the blocking ring, low-
and-second clutch hub, and the low-and-second
speed
gear.

d.
Slide the low-and-second
speed
gear toward the rear of the transmission case.
e.
Disengage

Adapter Plate
Oil
Seal
It
is important that the four-speed transmission
adapter plate oil seal be correctly installed to
prevent flow of lubricant from the transfer case
to the transmission. Should the lubricant level be
low in the transfer case and high in the transmission,
check the position of the oil seal. See Fig. Jl-9 and

Jl-10.
Correctly
positioned, the lip of the oil seal is
toward
the transfer case. Always replace the oil

seal
whenever it has been removed. 265
