Transmissions 21 - 8 SERVICE INFORMATION- PROCEDURES The three speed manual transmission (see Fig. 1) is of the synchromesh type with helical cut gears to provide silent operation. The countershaft gear is in constant mesh and is supported by roller bearings at each end. The mainshaft is supported· by a ball bearing at the centre and a bushing at the rear of the extension housing. The speedometer drive gear is integral with the mainshaft. 1. TRANSMISSION REMOVAL , (1) Drain the lubricant from the trans- mission. (2) Discormect the propeller shaft, speedometer cable and gearshift control rods. Disconnect hand brake control cable. CAUTION: Re, move the speedometer cable (pinion comes out with cable) by hand so that the housing is not crushed. (3) Remove the back-up light switch leads. (4) Install engine support fixture C-3806, mounting hooks firmly into the holes in the side of the frame members with the support ends up against the underside of the oil pan flange. (5) Adjust the fixture to support the weight of the engine, then raise engine slightly and remove the rear support attaching bolts. Remove the crossmember. (6) Support the transmission, using a suitable jack, then remove the bolts that attach the transmission to the clutch housing. (7) Slide the transmission rearward until the pinion shaft clears the clutch disc before lowering the transmission. (This precaution will avoid damaging the clutch disc). (8) Lower the transmission and remove from under the vehicle. (9) Mount the transmission in repair stand, DD-1014. DRAIN PlUG BAC K·UP LIGHT SWITCH PlUG ~OX852 Fig. 1 - Transmission assembly (typical}. 2. TO DISASSEMBLE TRANSMISSION To disassemble the transmission for cleaning and overhaul, refer to Fig. 1, then proceed as follows: (1) Using flange holding Tool CA-3281, remove the flange retaining nut and washer. (2) If necessary, attach puller Tool CA-452, and remove the flange assembly. Extension Housing (1) Remove the bolts and one nut that attaches the extension housing to the trans- mission case. Slide the extension off the mainshaft. Discard the gasket. Remove the oil seal using Tool CA-3753. (2) Remove the extension housing bushing using Tool CA-3755. (3) Remove the bolts that attach the cover to the case. Remove the cover and discard the gasket.
Drive Pinion (1) Remove the bolts attaching the main drive pinion bearing retainer, and slide the retainer off the pinion. Discard the gasket and drive the seal out of the retainer using a suitable drift. (2) Grasp the pinion shaft with the hand and pull the assembly out of the case. (It may be necessary to tap the shaft lightly to aid in its removal). A few of the clutch teeth on the main drive gear have been omitted to facilitate the removal of the drive pinion past the mating driven gear of the counter shaft gear. This open space must be positioned at the bottom to allow withdrawal of the drive pinion from the transmission case. Be careful not to bind the inner synchronizer ring on the drive pinion clutch teeth. (3) Remove the snap ring which locks the main drive pinion bearing on the pinion shaft, using snap ring pliers. Remove the pinion bearing washer, then carefully press the pinion shaft out of the bearing using an arbor press. Remove the oil slinger (refer Fig. 2). (4) Remove the 14 roller bearings from the cavity in the end of the drive pinion gear, using a hook or a flat blade. BEARING OIL SLINGER DRIVE PINION KP172B Fig. 2 - Drive pinion assembly. Transmiss ions 21 - 9 Countershaft Gear (I) Using a feeler gauge, chec k end play of the cluster gear (refer Fig. 8). Th e end play should be ftom . 004'' to . 012". Th is measurement will determine if new thru st washers are to be installed at re - as s embly. (2) Remove the locking plate (whi ch is common to countershaft and reve r se idler shaft). Using Tool C-578, drive th e count er - shaft rearward and out of the ca se . Fig. 3 - Synchronizer assembly (typical).

LOW AND REVERSE SHIFT FORK LOW AND REVERSE SLIDING GEAR NY8568 Fig. 7 - Removing or installing mainshaft (typical). Hains haft (1) With transmission in reverse, move shaft rearwards until bearing is clear of gearbox housing. (2) Cock the mainshaft, then remove the clutch sleeve, the outer synchronizer rings, the front inner ring and the 2 -3 shift fork (refer to Figs. 3 and 4). (3) Remove the clutch gear retaining snap ring, using snap ring pliers (refer Fig. 5). Slide the clutch gear off the end of the mains haft. (4) Slide the second speed gear, stop ring and synchronizer spring off the mainshaft (refer Fig. 6). (5) Remove the low and reverse sliding gear and shift fork as the mainshaft is completely withdrawn from the case (refer Fig. 7). (6) Lift the countershaf t gear and thrust washers out of the case. Disassemble the countershaft gear by removing the roller bearings (22 each end) and the bearing spacer. Reverse Idler Gear (1) Using a suitable drift, drive the reverse idler gear shaft towards the rear and out of the case. (2) Lift out the reverse idler gear, thrust washers and roller bearings (22) out of the case. Remove the roller bearings from the gear. Gearshift Mechanism (This operation need only be done if the seals are leaking). (1) Remove the operating levers from their respective shafts. (2) Drive out the tapered retaining pin (shown in Fig. 1) from either of the two lever shafts, then withdraw lever shaft from inside the transmission. (The detent balls are spring loaded; as the shaft is being withdrawn, the ball will drop to the bottom of the case). 6' .. ,. ..
