PREPARATION
MT-1

b. Place dial indicator on front end of reverse idler shaft.
c. Put straightedge on front surface of OD gear case as a stop-
per of reverse idler shaft.
d. Move reverse idler shaft up and down and measure reverse
idler gear end play.
Reverse idler gear end play:
0.30 - 0.53 mm (0.0118 - 0.0209 in)
e. If not within speci®cation, replace reverse idler rear thrust
washer with the other (A or B) and check again.
7. Install mainshaft and counter gear on adapter plate and main
drive gear on mainshaft.
a. Mount adapter plate on vise and apply multi-purpose grease to
counter gear rear bearing.
b. Install mainshaft a little on mainshaft front bearing.
+To allow for installation of counter gear, do not install
mainshaft completely.
c. Install counter gear on counter gear rear bearing and install
main drive gear, pilot bearing and spacer on mainshaft.

+When installing counter gear into counter gear rear
bearing, push up on upper roller of counter gear rear bear-
ing with screwdriver.
d. Install mainshaft and counter gear completely by tapping rear
side of adapter plate and pulling mainshaft.
8. Install rear side components on mainshaft and counter gear.
a. Install OD gear bushing while pushing on the front of counter
gear.
b. Install OD main gear.
+Pay attention to direction of OD main gear. (B is wider than
A as shown at left.)
