Bearings
Install needle bearings with the lettering on the
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing the
drift.
Mark needle bearings of drive gears for first
through fifth sliding gears when removing to
ensure the same installed position when
installing.
Grease needle bearing for input shaft in
flywheel.
Lubricate all bearings in transmission with
transmission fluid before installing.
Heat tapered roller bearing inner races to
approx. 100 C (212 F) before installing. Press
in to stop so that there is no axial play.
Do not interchange inner and outer bearing
races with those from other bearings of the
same size.
Always replace tapered roller bearings on one
shaft together and use new bearings from the
same manufacturer.

Shims
Use a micrometer to measure the shims at
several points. Different tolerances make it
possible to obtain the exact shim thickness
required.
Check for burrs and signs of damage.
Sliding Gears
After assembling, check axial play of 1st to 5th
sliding gears (0.15-0.35 mm) and check for free
movement.
Synchronizer rings
Do not interchange. When re-using, install
synchronizer rings with the same gear with
which they were matched.
Check for signs of wear; replace if necessary.
Lubricate with transmission fluid before
installing.
