(16) Install first gear spacer on shaft and against
selective fit snap ring (Fig. 79).
(17) Install first gear and needle bearing (Fig. 79)
on output shaft.
(18) Install locating pin and thrust washer on
shaft (Fig. 79).
(19) Press rear bearing on shaft. Position bearing
snap ring groove so it is closest to end of output
shaft.
(20) Check first and second gear thrust clearance
with feeler gauge (Fig. 62).²First gear clearance should be 0.10 to 0.40 mm
(0.003 to 0.0197 in.)
²Second gear clearance should be 0.10 to 0.30 mm
(0.003 to 0.0118 in.)
(21) Press fifth gear onto output shaft. Then install
select fit snap ring (Fig. 80). Use thickest snap ring
that will fit in shaft groove.
(22) Lubricate input shaft pilot bearing with petro-
leum jelly and install bearing in shaft (Fig. 60).

(23) Install input shaft on output shaft (Fig. 59).
Be sure output shaft hub is fully seated in pilot bear-
ing.
OUTPUT SHAFT AND CLUSTER GEAR
INSTALLATION
(1) Mount intermediate plate in vise (Fig. 24).
(2) Lubricate cluster gear journal and rear bearing
with petroleum jelly or gear lubricant.
(3) Install cluster gear rear bearing in intermedi-
ate plate (Fig. 81). Be sure snap ring groove in bear-
ing is rearward as shown.
(4) Start cluster gear into bearing (Fig. 57). Then
hold bearing and push gear into place. Use plastic or
rawhide mallet to seat bearing if necessary.
(5) Start output shaft rear bearing in intermediate
plate. Push shaft rearward and tap intermediate
plate with mallet to seat bearing.
(6) Install snap rings on cluster and output shaft
rearbearings only (Fig. 82). Do not install front
bearing snap rings at this time.
(7) Install reverse idler gear and shaft (Fig. 83).(8) Position rear bearing retainer over output shaft
and rear bearing.Be sure bearing retainer tab is
engaged in reverse idler shaft notch (Fig. 84).
(9) Install and tighten rear bearing retainer bolts
to 18 Nzm (13 ft-lbs).
SHIFT RAIL AND FORK INSTALLATION
The shift rail interlock pins, balls and plugs must
be installed in the correct sequence for proper shift-
ing. Refer to the installation diagram (Fig. 85) during
assembly.
Coat the intermediate plate shift rail bores
and the interlock balls, pins and plugs with a
thick covering of petroleum jelly before assem-
bly. The jelly will hold the interlock compo-
nents in place making installation easier. Use a
pencil magnet to hold and insert the interlocks.
Then use a small screwdriver to push the inter-
lock components into place.
(1) Coat reverse rail interlock pin with petroleum
jelly and install pin in rail (Fig. 86).
(2) Install reverse shift rail in intermediate plate
(Fig. 87).

(4) Position 1-2 and 3-4 shift forks in synchro
sleeves (Fig. 88).
(5) Coat reverse rail lock ball with petroleum jelly.
Then tilt reverse shift fork upward and insert ball in
intermediate plate (Fig. 89).
(6) Coat 1-2 shift rail interlock plug with petro-
leum jelly and install it in intermediate plate bore
(Fig. 90).
(7) Coat 1-2 shift rail interlock pin with petroleum
jelly and insert it in shift rail (Fig. 91).(8) Install 1-2 shift rail in intermediate plate and
1-2 fork (Fig. 92).

leum jelly and install plug in intermediate plate (Fig.
93).
(10) Install 3-4 shift rail in intermediate plate and
in both shift forks (Fig. 94).
(11) Verify that none of the interlock balls, plugs,
or pins were displaced during shift rail installation.
(12) Install and tighten shift fork setscrews to 20
Nzm (14 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 95).
(13) Install 1-2 and 3-4 shift rail C-rings (Fig. 96).
(14) Insert fifth gear shift rail through reverse
shift fork.Then slide rail into intermediate plate
