SHIFT MECHANISM ASSEMBLY AND
INSTALLATION
When assembling the shift mechanism, refer
to Figure 66 for component details and loca-
tion.
(1) Install reverse shift arm. Then seat shift fork
in bracket (Fig. 67).
(2) Install reverse idler gear on shaft. Then install
shaft and gear in intermediate plate (Fig. 68). Install
shaft lock plate and tighten attaching bolt to 18 Nzm
(13 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Install 1-2 and 3-4 shift forks in synchronizer
sleeves. Then slide No. 2 shift rail through interme-
diate plate and into forks (Fig. 69).
(4) Coat shift rail interlock pins and balls with lib-
eral quantity of petroleum jelly to hold them in place.
(5) Refer to Figure 70 for interlock ball and pin po-
sitions during following assembly steps.

(6) Insert first interlock pin in intermediate plate
(Fig. 71). Use pencil magnet and screwdriver to in-
stall pin.
(7) Install smaller diameter interlock pin in No. 1
rail (Fig. 72).(8) Slide No. 1 rail through 1-2 shift fork (Fig. 73).

(15) Shift fifth gear synchronizer sleeve rearward
to lock it (Fig. 79).
(16) On AX 5, install fifth-reverse shift fork in syn-
chronizer sleeve. Then slide No. 4 shift rail into fork
(Fig. 80).(17) Install shift rail lock ball with pencil magnet
and screwdriver (Fig. 81).
(18) Check interlock operation as follows: Move No.
1 shift rail rearward to first gear position. Interlock
operation is OK if remaining shift rails did not move.
(19) Install new shift fork pins (Fig. 82).
