  3. Put a straight edge across the top of the 1st/2nd idler gear thrust bearing (519).
  4. Using a feeler gage measure between the straight edge and the roller bearings on the 1st/2nd idler gear thrust bearing (519) in 3 places. Use the average of the 3 measurements as the actual clearance.
  5. Measure the 1st/2nd idler gear (520) axial clearance in at least 3 places on the gear. Use the average of the 3 measurements as the actual clearance.

    Specification:  1st/2nd idler gear clearance 0.005-0.040 mm (0.0002-0.0016 in)

  6. If the measurement exceeds the specifications, remove and measure the thickness of the 1st driven gear 56 mm selective spacer (518).
  7. Select and install a new 1st driven gear 56 mm selective spacer (518) in order to obtain the specified clearance. Measure the clearance again to ensure that the 1st/2nd idler gear is within specifications.

    • The 3rd/4th driven gear (500) with the gear protrusion facing up
    • The 3rd/4th driven gear 50.2 mm selective spacer (501)
    • The 3rd/4th driven gear 39 mm split retaining rings (502)
    • The 3rd/4th driven gear 39 mm retaining ring cap (503)
    • The 3rd/4th driven gear 39 mm retaining ring cap retainer (504)
  10. Fig 4: Measuring The Clearance Between The 3rd/4th Driven Gear & 3rd/4th Driven Gear Using A Feeler Gage

  11. Measure the clearance between the 3rd/4th driven gear (500) and the 3rd/4th driven gear 50.2 mm selective spacer (501) with a feeler gage (1) in at least 3 places. Use the average of the 3 measurements as the actual clearance.

    Specification:  The clearance between the 3rd/4th driven gear and the 3rd/4th driven gear selective spacer 0.005-0.040 mm (0.0002-0.0016 in).

  12. If the measurement exceeds 0.040 mm (0.016 in), remove and measure the thickness of the 3rd/4th driven gear 52 mm selective spacer (501).
  13. Select and install a new 3rd/4th driven gear 52 mm selective spacer (501) in order to obtain the specified clearance, then check for the proper clearance again.
  14. Fig 5: 5th Driven Gear Output Shaft & Components Removed

  15. Install the following components on the output shaft:
    • The 5th driven gear spacer (505)
    • The 5th driven gear inner bearing (506)
    • The 5th driven gear (507)
    • The 5th/reverse synchronizer hub (509)
  16. Fig 6: DT 46509 & 5th/Reverse Synchronizer Hub

  17. Using a hydraulic press and DT 46509  complete the installation of the 5th/reverse synchronizer hub (509). See Special Tools .
  18. Fig 7: Measuring The 5th Driven Gear Axial Clearance

  19. Measure the 5th driven gear (507) axial clearance.
    1. Install SA9179NE  on the 5th driven gear.
    2. Zero the gage.
    3. Lift up on the 5th driven gear and record the measurement.

      Specification:  5th driven gear axial clearance 0.12-0.27 mm (0.0047-0.0106 in)

    4. If the clearance exceeds specifications inspect for excessive wear on the thrust surface of the 5th driven gear (507), the 5th/reverse synchronizer hub (509), and the shoulder of the output shaft (524).
    5. If there is not any clearance, ensure the 5th/reverse synchronizer hub (509) is completely installed and there are no burrs or debris between the gears.
  20. Fig 8: Reverse Driven Gear Output Shaft & Components Removed

      Specification:  Reverse driven gear axial clearance 0.10-0.25 mm (0.0039-0.0098 in)

    4. If the clearance exceeds specifications inspect for excessive wear on the thrust surface of the reverse driven gear (512) or the 5th/reverse synchronizer hub (509).
    5. If there is not any clearance, ensure the output shaft rear bearing (514) is completely installed and there are no burrs or debris between the gears.
