Output Shaft

Lubricate shaft, gears and bearings with recommended lubricant during assembly. Petroleum jelly can be used to hold parts in place. Check bearing surfaces of output shaft for nicks or scratches. Smooth surfaces with 320/400 grit emery cloth if necessary. Apply oil to emery cloth and shaft surface before polishing.

Inspect and replace any synchro ring if worn or damage. Immerse each synchro ring in lubricant before installation.

  1. Lubricate and install reverse gear needle bearing on shaft (see Fig 1). Slide bearing up against shoulder on output shaft.
