  3. Measure the radial clearance for each of the speed gears.
    1. Place the speed gear, with the needle roller bearing, on the input shaft at the correct journal.
    2. Use J 8001-3  or J 26900-12  (1) and J 26900-13  (2). See Special Tools .
    3. Position J 8001-3  or J 26900-12  on the gear. See Special Tools .
    4. Move the gear up and down.

      Specification: 

      • Standard Clearance 1st gear: 0.02-0.073 mm (0.0008-0.0029 in)
      • Standard Clearance 2nd and 3rd gear: 0.015-0.068 mm (0.0006-0.0027 in)
      • Maximum Clearance 1st gear: 0.160 mm (0.0063 in)
      • Maximum Clearance 2nd and 3rd gear: 0.160 mm (0.0063 in)

  4. If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace either the gear, the needle roller bearing, or the input shaft.

  6. Clean the input shaft in a suitable solvent.
  7. Clean and air dry the oil gallery.
  8. Inspect the input shaft bearing surfaces for the following conditions:
    • Wear
    • Lack of lubricant
    • Debris embedded in the oil grooves
    • Brinelling
  9. Inspect the input shaft splines for wear or damage.
  10. Replace the input shaft if any of the above conditions are found.

  12. Using J 8001-3  or J 26900-12  (1), J 26900-13  (2) and V-blocks, inspect the input shaft for runout. See Special Tools .

    Specification:  Maximum runout: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in)

  13. If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the input shaft.

    IMPORTANT: To calculate the radial clearance, measure shaft diameter, needle roller bearing diameter and gear inner diameter.
  15. Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the input shaft journals.

    Specification: 

    • Minimum diameter 1st gear (a): 38.860 mm (1.5299 in)
    • Minimum diameter 2nd gear (b): 46.860 mm (1.8449 in)
    • Minimum diameter 3rd gear (c): 37.869 mm (1.4905 in)

  16. If the journal diameter is less than the minimum, replace the input shaft.
