J TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY Precaution 1. All O-rings and gaskets must be replaced with the new ones included in the overhaul kit. 2. Before assembly, make sure all parts are completely clean. 4 3. Assemble the parts within 10 minutes after applying sealant. Allow all sealant to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the transmission with transmission oil. 35UOJX-053 (5TH) (REVERSE) (~RD, 4TH) (1 ST, 2ND) 45UOJX-029 Clutch hub For the synchronizer assemblies, align the synchronizer ring grooves and synchronizer keys. The synchronizer rings can be distinguished as shown in the figure. The inner diametes of the 2nd synchronizer ring is larger than the 1 st. When installing the gears and clutch hub assemblies in the following procedure, make sure that they are installed in the direction shown in the figure. Gartner Banana
