Countershaft
Disassembly/Reassembly
1. Using a hydraulic press, press out the countershaftwhile supporting 4th gear.
NOTE: Place an attachment between the press andthe countershaft to prevent damage to the shaft.
CAUTION: Do not allow the countershaft to fall andhit the g.ound when pressed clear.

2. Assemble the parts on the countershaft as shownoetow.
NOTE;
. Lubricate all parts with ATF during assembly.. Before installing the O-rings, wrap the shaft splineswith tape to prevent damaging the O_rings.
