Removing Transmission





The case is flanged mounted with aluminium bolts to the engine block (arrows). The front half of the case is also bolted to the rear half with aluminium bolts. These aluminium bolts may only be used 3 times.

Note: Refer to TIS for correct tightening torque, For additional and updated information, refer to the Repair Instructions.

The shortened input shaft with the involute teeth make it easier to remove and install the transmission.

Installing Transmission


A special lubrication procedure is required for the involute teeth on the input shaft. Lubrication is carried out with two special tools:
^ Carefully slide the grease scraper sleeve (P/N 21 2 220) over the input shaft up to the guide tube. This removes any previous lubrication and debris.
^ Carefully slide the grease application sleeve (P/N 21 2 221) over the input shaft up to the guide tube.
^ Using a brush, spread the grease evenly on the teeth and the profile base up to the grease application sleeve.
^ Carefully pull back the grease application sleeve over the shaft. This provides an equal distribution over the entire spline contact surfaces.
