Assembly

NOTICE: Lubricate all components with the recommended transmission fluid before assembling.

1. NOTICE: When installing the bearing, do not over expand the bearing cage or damage to the bearing cage can occur.

Install the 4th gear needle bearing.





2. NOTICE: The groove on the 3rd/4th gear synchronizer assembly must be facing away from 4th gear or damage to the synchronizer assembly can occur.

NOTICE: The 6 synchronizer ring tabs must engage into the 6 gear slots and the 3 synchronizer ring tabs must engage into the 3 synchronizer assembly slots or damage to the synchronizer assembly and synchronizer ring assembly can occur.

NOTE: The 4th gear synchronizer ring assembly outer ring has one identification notch.

With the groove on the 3rd/4th gear synchronizer assembly sleeve facing away from 4th gear install the 4th gear synchronizer ring assembly and the 4th gear.

- Align the 6 synchronizer ring tabs with the 6 gear slots and the 3 synchronizer ring tabs with the 3 synchronizer assembly slots.





3. Using the Bearing Puller and a hydraulic press, install the 4th gear and the 3rd/4th gear synchronizer assembly.





4. Install the 3rd/4th gear synchronizer assembly snap ring.





5. NOTICE: The 6 synchronizer ring tabs must engage into the 6 gear slots or damage to the synchronizer assembly and synchronizer ring assembly can occur.

NOTE: The 3rd gear synchronizer ring assembly outer ring has 2 identification notches.

Position the 6th gear and the 3rd gear and the 3rd gear synchronizer ring assembly onto the Bearing Puller.

- Align the 6 synchronizer ring tabs with the 6 gear slots.





6. NOTE: Lubricate the needle bearing with petroleum jelly to hold it in place during assembly.

Install the 3rd gear needle bearing.





7. NOTICE: The 3 synchronizer ring tabs must engage into the 3 synchronizer assembly slots or damage to the synchronizer assembly and synchronizer ring assembly can occur.

NOTICE: Do not allow the 3rd gear needle bearing to slide down the countershaft while pressing the components or damage to the needle bearing can occur.

While keeping the 3rd gear needle bearing from sliding down the countershaft, use the Bearing Puller and a hydraulic press, install the 6th gear the 3rd gear and the 3rd gear synchronizer ring assembly.

- Align the 3 synchronizer ring tabs with the 3 synchronizer assembly slots.





8. Using the Bearing Puller and a hydraulic press, install the 5th gear.
