CLEANING AND INSPECTION
TRANSAXLE
Clean the gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers,
thrust washers, oil feeder, shift mechanism, gear
case, and bellhousing with solvent. Dry all parts
except the bearings with compressed air. Allow thebearings to either air dry or wipe them dry with
clean shop towels.
Inspect the gears, bearings, shafts and thrust
washers. Replace the bearings and cups if the rollers
are worn, chipped, cracked, flat spotted, or brin-
nelled, or if the bearing cage is damaged or distorted.
Replace the thrust washers if cracked, chipped, or
worn. Replace the gears if the teeth are chipped,
cracked, or worn thin. Inspect the synchronizers.
Replace the sleeve if worn or damaged in any way.
Replace the stop rings if the friction material is
burned, flaking off, or worn. Check the condition of
the synchro struts and springs. Replace these parts if
worn, cracked, or distorted.
SYNCHRONIZER
CLEAN
Do not attempt to clean the blocking rings in sol-
vent. The friction material will become contaminated.
Place synchronizer components in a suitable holder
and clean with solvent. Air dry.
INSPECT
Proper inspection of components involve:
²Teeth, for wear, scuffed, nicked, burred, or bro-
ken teeth
²Struts, for wear or distortion
²Springs, for distortion, cracks, or wear
If any of these conditions exist in these compo-
nents, replace as necessary.

been replaced, you must perform the differential
bearing preload shim adjustment. If the transaxle
case has been replaced, you must perform both pro-
cedures.
GENERAL RULES ON SERVICING BEARINGS
(1) Use extreme care when removing and install-
ing bearing cups and cones. Burrs or nicks on the
bearing seat will give a false end play reading while
gauging for proper shims. Improperly seated bearing
cups and cones are subject to low±mileage failure.
(2) Bearing cups and cones should be replaced if
they show signs of pitting or heat distress. If distress
is seen on either the cup or bearing rollers, both cup
and cone must be replaced.(3) Bearing preload and drag torque specifications
must be maintained to avoid premature bearing fail-
ures. Used (original) bearings may lose up to 50% of
their original drag torque after break in. All bearing
adjustments must be made with no other component
interference or gear intermesh.
(4) Replace bearings as a pair: If one differential
bearing is defective, replace both differential bear-
ings.
(5) Bearing cones must not be reused if removed.
(6) Turning torque readings should be obtained
while smoothly rotating in either direction.
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BEARING PRELOAD
The intermediate shaft preload must be checked if
the housing, intermediate shaft, bearing plate, bear-
ings, or transaxle case are replaced.
The intermediate shaft bearing preload procedure
must be done with the transaxle out of the vehicle
and on a bench.
(1) Remove end cover (Fig. 226).
(2) Remove 5th shift fork roll pin (Fig. 227).
(3) Use Special Tool 6252 to hold 5th gear. Remove
input shaft 5th gear nut (Fig. 228).
(4) Remove 5th gear synchro snap ring (Fig. 229).
(5) Remove 5th gear synchro, synchro plate, and
fork.
(6) Remove 5th drive gear off of the input shaft
(Fig. 230).
(7) Remove bearing retainer plate (Fig. 231).
(8) Remove bearing preload shim (Fig. 232).
(9) Bolt down the bearing support plate in two
places (verify dowels are in place).
