Inspection Procedure
Before reassembling the transmission, check each part 
carefully for abnormal wear, excessive wear or damage to 
determine if the part is suitable for reuse. When replace-
ment is necessary, use only genuine Eaton® Fuller® Trans-
mission parts to assure continued performance and 
extended life from your unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of 
the total cost of downtime and labor, avoid reusing a ques-
tionable part. This could lead to additional repairs and 
expense soon after assembly. Consideration should also be 
given to the history of the unit, mileage, application, etc., 
when determining the reuse or replacement of any trans-
mission part.
Bearings
• Wash all bearings in clean solvent. Check balls, 
rollers and raceways for pitting, discoloration and 
spalled areas.
• Replace bearings that are pitted, discolored, 
spalled or damaged during disassembly
• Lubricate bearings that are not pitted, discolored or 
spalled and check for axial and radial clearances.
• Replace bearings with excessive clearances.
• Check bearing fit. Bearing inner races should be 
tight to shaft; outer races slightly tight to slightly 
loose in case bore. If the bearing spins freely in the 
bore, the case should be replaced.
Bearing Covers
• Check covers for wear from thrust of adjacent bear-
ing. Replace covers damaged from thrust of bear-
ing outer race.
• Check cover bores for wear. Replace those worn or 
oversized.
Clutch Release Parts
• Replace yokes worn at cam surfaces and bearing 
carrier worn at contact pads.
• Check pedal shafts. Replace those worn at bushing 
surfaces.
Gears
• Check gear teeth for frosting and pitting. Frosting 
of gear teeth faces presents no threat of transmis-
sion failure. Often in continued operation of the 
unit, frosted gears “heal” and do not progress to 
the pitting stage. In most cases, gears with light to 
moderate pitted teeth have considerable gear life 
remaining and can be reused, but gears in the 
advanced stage of pitting should be replaced.
• Check gears with clutching teeth abnormally worn, 
tapered or reduced in length from clashing during 
shifting. Replace gears found in any of these condi-
tions.
• Check axial clearance of gears.
Gear Shift Lever Housing Assembly
• Check spring tension on Shift Lever. Replace ten-
sion spring if lever moves too freely. If housing is 
disassembled, check the Gear Shift Lever bottom 
end and shift finger assembly for wear.
Gray Iron Parts
• Check all gray iron parts for cracks and breaks. 
• Replace damaged parts.
Oil Return Threads and Seals
• Check oil return threads on the Input Shaft. If 
return action of threads has been destroyed, 
replace the Input Shaft.
• Check oil seal in Rear Bearing Cover. If sealing 
action of lip has been destroyed, replace seal.
O-Rings
• Check all O-rings for cracks or distortion. Replace if 
worn.
Reverse Idler Gear Assemblies
• Check for excessive wear from action of roller bear-
ings.
Shift Bar Housing Assembly
• Check for wear on shift yokes and block at pads 
and lever slot. Replace excessively worn parts.
