TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY 6.9
GENERAL
TRANSMISSION REMOVAL FROM
LEFT CRANKCASE
NOTE
See Figure 6-55. Shifter design allows for one common part
number for both countershaft shifter forks. As the transmis-
sion runs, each shifter fork develops a certain wear pattern
with its mating parts. For this reason, it is important that each
shifter fork be reinstalled in its original location.
1. See Figure 6-56. Remove shifter fork shafts by inserting
a small flat punch in the slots and tapping on the end of
each shaft until it falls free.
NOTE
Carefully tap on alternate sides of the shaft using the pro-
vided slots.
2. See Figure 6-57. Remove shifter drum (1) and shifter
forks (2). Mark each shifter fork as it is removed, so it can
be reinstalled in the same location.
