All driving gear wheels of the transmission are located on the input shaft.
The input shaft is designed as a solid shaft and runs on one ball bearing and one roller bearing with no pre-load.
The gear wheels for 1st and 2nd gear are an integral part of the input shaft. The gearwheels for 3rd and 5th gears and the gearwheel for 4th/6th gear are pressed on.
Because of the high force used to press on the components, the gear wheels cannot be pressed off in service. A faulty input shaft can only be replaced as a complete unit.
Defective bearings can be pressed off and changed.
