will show how each part is located in relation to the others. Step-by-step instructions will
accompany the illustrations.
To hold the needle bearings in countershaft gears, coat the bearings with heavy grease.
Then fit each bearing into position. The grease will hold the bearings as you slide the
countershaft into the gear (
Figure 8-16
).
Also, following the manufacturer's instructions, measure the end play or clearance of
the gears and synchronizers (
Figure 8-17).
Assemble the shift fork mechanism and with the synchronizers and shift forks in neutral,
fit the shift fork assembly on or in the case. Check the action of the shift forks.
Make sure the transmission shifts properly before installing it. This will definitely save
you from having to remove the transmission later when problems are discovered.
While the transmission is removed from the vehicle, it would be recommended to
disassemble and inspect the clutch.
