CLEANING
Clean the gears, bearings shafts, extension/adapter
housing and gear case with solvent. Dry all parts
except the bearings with compressed air. Allow the
bearings to either air dry or wipe them dry with
clean shop towels.
INSPECTION
NOTE: Minor corrosion, nicks, or pitting can be
smoothed with 400 grit emery and polished out with
crocus cloth.
Inspect the reverse idler gear, bearings, shaft and
thrust washers. Replace the bearings if the rollers
are worn, chipped, cracked, flat-spotted or brinnelled.
Replace the gear if the teeth are chipped, cracked or
worn thin.
Inspect the front bearing retainer and bearing cup.
Replace the bearing cup if scored, cracked, brinnelled
or rough. Check the release bearing slide surface of
the retainer carefully. Replace the retainer if worn or
damaged in any way.
Inspect mainshaft bearing surfaces, splines, snap
ring grooves and threads. Replace the shaft if any
surfaces exhibit considerable wear or damage.
Inspect the countershaft and bearings. Replace the
shaft if any surfaces exhibit considerable wear or
damage.
Inspect shift forks for wear and distortion. Check
fit of the sleeve in the fork to be sure the two parts
fit and work smoothly. Replace the fork if the roll pin
holes are worn oversize or damaged. Do not attempt
to salvage a worn fork. Replace shift fork roll pins if
necessary or if doubt exists about their condition.
The all bearings for wear, roughness, flat spots,
pitting or other damage. Replace the bearings if nec-
essary.
Inspect the blocker rings and fiction cones. replace
either part if worn or damaged in any way. Replace if
the friction material is burned, flaking off or worn.
Inspect synchro components wear or damage.
Replace parts if worn, cracked or distorted.
Inspect all of the thrust washers and locating pins.
Replace the pins if bent or worn. Replace the wash-
ers if worn or the locating pin notches are distorted.
Inspect the case and housing/adapter sealing and
mating surfaces are free of burrs and nicks. Inspcet
the alignment dowels in the case top surface and in
the housing/adapter are tight and in good condition.
Replace the gear case or housing/adapter if cracked
or broken.
