INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shift Rod Components
• Check the working face of the shift rod and fork for wear, partial wear, bending and other abnormality. If any is found, replace with a
new one.
• Measure the clearance between the shift fork and sleeve. If it is out of specification, replace it with a new one.
Planetary Carrier
• Measure the end play of each pinion gear. If it is out of specifica-tion, replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.
• Check the working face of each gear and bearing for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents and other abnormality. If any is found,
replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
• Check if the oil passage of the sun gear assembly is clogged. For
this, try to pass a 3.6 mm (0.142 in) dia. pin through the oil pas-
sage as shown.
• Check the sliding and contact surface of each gear and bearing for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents, and other abnormality. If any is
found, replace the sun gear assembly with a new one.
Internal Gear
• Check the internal gear teeth for damage, partial wear, dents andother abnormality. If any is found, replace the internal gear with a
new one.
Gears and Drive Chain
• Check the gear faces and shaft for wear, cracks, damage, and sei-zure.
• Check the surfaces which contact the sun gear, clutch drum, clutch hub, press flange, clutch piston and each bearing for damage,
peel, partial wear, dents, bending, or other abnormal damage. If
any is found, replace with a new one.
Bearing
• Make sure the bearings roll freely and are free from noise, pittingand cracks.
