OUTPUT SHAFT
NOTE: Lubricate shaft, gears, bearings and
immerse each synchro ring with recommended
lubricant during assembly. Petroleum jelly can be
used to hold parts in place.
(1) Install reverse gear needle bearing up against
shoulder on output shaft (Fig. 50).
(2) Install reverse gear over needle bearing (Fig.
51).
(3) Install brass synchro ring on reverse gear (Fig.
52).
(4) Start fifth-reverse synchro assembly on output
shaft splines by hand. Then seat synchro onto shaft
with shop press and Remover 6310-1 (Fig. 53).
CAUTION: One side of the hub has shoulders
around the hub bore, this side faces the front of the
shaft. One side of the sleeve is tapered the tapered
side faces the front of the shaft.
