ASSEMBLY
NOTE: When servicing the input shaft assembly, all
snap rings MUST be replaced with new ones upon
assembly. 5th gear nut must also be replaced.
NOTE: When installing 3/4 synchronizer hub to
shaft, make sure to align oil slots on synchronizer
hub face with oil hole in the shaft splined hub jour-
nal.
NOTE: Refer to (Fig. 13) for input shaft assembly
reference.(1) Install input shaft into fixture 8487.
(2) Install thrust washer if removed upon disas-
sembly.

INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The intermediate shaft assembly (Fig. 27) is part of
the transaxle geartrain, meshes with and is driven by
the input shaft, drives the differential via an integrated
pinion gear, and consists of the following components:
² Intermediate Mainshaft
² 1st Speed Gear
² 2nd Speed Gear
² 3/4 Cluster Gear
² 5th Speed Gear
² Reverse Gear

The intermediate shaft is supported by a caged
roller bearing at the front of the transaxle, and a
sealed roller bearing at the rear of the transaxle.
DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not re-use snap rings when servicing
the intermediate shaft assembly. Discard upon dis-
assembly and install new ones provided with avail-
able snap ring service kit.
(1) Install intermediate shaft assembly to arbor
press table with bearing splitter P-334 under the
reverse gear. (2) Install 8486-4 button to intermediate shaft.
Using arbor press ram, press reverse gear and inter-
mediate roller bearing off of shaft, while holding
remaining assembly with hand (Fig. 28). (3) Remove reverse gear blocker ring.
(4) Remove reverse gear needle bearing (Fig. 29).
(5) Remove 5/R synchro snap ring (Fig. 30).
