ENGINE / TRANSMISSION
Transmission Inspection
NOTE: Always wear the appropriate protective gear and
use caution when operating a press.
1. With transmission components removed, inspect
all shaft bearings visually and by feel. Bearings
should roll smoothly, without excessive movement
or noise. Replace any bearing that is removed, as the
removal process destroys the bearing.
2. Bearings can be removed using a standard blind bearing
remover. Apply lithium grease to outer race of new bearings
and press into cover or case by the outer race. Do not press on
inner race or bearing will be damaged.
3. Press output shaft (A) out of cover with an arbor press or a
hydraulic press from outside to inside, while supporting cover
completely.
5. Inspect sliding gear dogs and dog slots in the mating gears
(F) for wear or damage. The edges of dogs and slots should
be square and not rounded. Replace both sliding gear and
mating gears if any edges are rounded or chipped.
NOTE: Inspect all shafts for wear in the bearing
contact areas. The sealed output shaft bearing (in
transmission cover) has a snap ring that must be
removed before output shaft bearing can be pressed
out of the cover.
6. Substantial axial movement in the forward drive gear is due
to liberal oil clearance for the bushing, and is a normal
condition. Gear replacement is not required due to axial
movement if radial movement (shown in Step 6) passes
inspection.
4. Inspect the shift fork ( B ) for scoring or signs of wear. Area
