together, then install them into right case (1).
4) Install 5th & reverse gear shift shaft (1) with 5th & reverse
gear shift guide shaft (2) into right case (5). Reverse gear
shift arm (4) has to be joined with reverse gear shift lever (3)

Distance between lever end and shaft bore
“a” : 5 mm (0.2 in.)
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage oil seal lip by input shaft, or oil
leakage may take place.
NOTE:
Input shaft right bearing on shaft can be installed into
right case by tapping shaft with plastic hammer.

tighten them to specification. NOTE:
Distance “a” can be measured by installing reverse
gear shaft provisionally.
When “a” is 5 mm (0.2 in.), clearance between reverse
idler gear groove and shift lever end will be 1 mm (0.04
in.).
NOTE:
Make sure that washer (4) has been installed in shaft at
above the gear.
Check to confirm that reverse gear shift lever end has
clearance 1 mm (0.04 in.) to idler gear groove.
