CLEANING AND INSPECTION
TRANSAXLE
Clean the gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers,
thrust washers, oil feeder, shift mechanism, gear
case, and bellhousing with solvent. Dry all parts
except the bearings with compressed air. Allow the
bearings to either air dry or wipe them dry with
clean shop towels.
Inspect the gears, bearings, shafts and thrust
washers. Replace the bearings and cups if the rollers
are worn, chipped, cracked, flat spotted, or brin-
nelled, or if the bearing cage is damaged or distorted.
Replace the thrust washers if cracked, chipped, or
worn. Replace the gears if the teeth are chipped,
cracked, or worn thin. Inspect the synchronizers.
Replace the sleeve if worn or damaged in any way.
Replace the stop rings if the friction material is
burned, flaking off, or worn. Check the condition of
the synchro keys and springs. Replace these parts if
worn, cracked, or distorted.
SYNCHRONIZER
CLEAN
Do not attempt to clean the blocking rings in sol-
vent. The friction material will become contaminated.
Place synchronizer components in a suitable holder
and clean with solvent. Air dry.
INSPECT
Proper inspection of components involve:
• Teeth, for wear, scuffed, nicked, burred, or bro-
ken teeth
• Keys, for wear or distortion
• Balls and springs, for distortion, cracks, or wear
If any of these conditions exist in these compo-
nents, replace as necessary.
