Dnepr MT10-36 - Gear Box Dismantling and Assembling

Do not engage or disengage the reverse gear by foot.
7. The
gear box has yet another fixed neutral posi tion between
the b hird and fourth gears. This neutral should be used when coa -
sting.
The neutral position should be found with the clutch disengage ·d,
by using the hand lever. Before the necessary skill is acquired, the
front and rear arm of the gearshift pedal should be simultaneously
depressed with the foot.
In order to engage the third and fourth gears without impacts
after coasting, increase the engine speed and only then shift to the
required gear.
8. The engagement of either forward or reverse gear i'S accompa-
nied by the meshi• ng of t-wo members of the gear box, the tooth of
one member ent-ering the space o.f the other.
T·he teeth of the mesh ing clutches or gears are not always arran-
ged in such a way that the space is opposite the tooth. In this case,
the
gear engagement is impos sible. To f acilitate gear engagement,
the space in the splined joints of the gear shift mechanism is made
much wider than the tooth thickness.
Difficulties
during gear enga gem ent may arise only when the
coupling members are at rest, which might be in the case when the
motorcycle is kept at a standstill and the engine is not operating or
the clutch is disengaged with the engine operating.
Therefore, it is advisable to · set the neutral or a gea •r Cilose to
neutral (fi,rst or second) before the motorcycle comes to a standstill
during a slowdown. Should a given gear fail to become engage d,
with the motorcycle at a stan ds till, release the clutch lever (at which
point the primary shaft starts rotating) and then depress the clutch
lever again and engage the gear.
Tc engage the first or reve.r:Se ge ar without impacts, when star-
ting from rest, it is necessary, after declukhing, to wait a few se-
conds before engaging the g ear until the primary s haft slows down
its rotation.
9. During the col•d season, the starting mechanism ratchet may
o ' pl€!r·a~e with noise (. rattling) if the gear box has not yet warmed
up. This being ~he ca.se, do not operate the eng ine at high speeds.
As the gear box is warmed up, the noise will disappear.
Dismantling and .Ass embling of the Gear Box
Dismantling
Dismantling should be carried out in the following order:
1. Remove the kick lever, clutch release lever, slide, thrust bea-
ring and the end piece of the clutch release rod. Take down the disk
of .
the elastic coupling.
2.
Tum of.f two screws securing the bushing of the starting me-
chanism shaft to the fro nt wall of the cas ing and rele ase the tension
("winding - up") of the spring of the starting mechanisrm sha ft.
