TRANSMISSION
9. Remove snap ring from bearing on clutch
connection shaft and remove clutch connection
gear assembly by pulling it back and taking it
out through the top of the housing.
10. Remove countershaft gear assembly, being
careful not to lose the two bronze and one steel
thrust washers.
11. Remove reverse idle gear assembly after
removing lock screw and driving out shaft, being
careful not to lose the two bronze thrust washers.
Disassembly of the main drive shaft assembly
may be accomplished in the following manner:
1. Remove low-and-reverse-speed gear.
2. Remove high-speed drum and gear coupling,
being careful not to lose the six (three short and
three long) detent springs.
3. Remove snap ring in second-speed synchronizing
drum and take drum off second-speed gear,
being careful not to lose or damage the release
spring in the drum.
4. Remove snap ring and take second-speed
constant-mesh gear off shaft.
Reassembly of the transmission may be accomplished
in the reverse order of its disassembly.
The detent springs should be installed on the
main shaft as shown in Plate 57. The long and
short detent springs should be alternated around
the shaft with the long springs arranged to engage
the high-speed drum and the short springs
arranged to engage the second-speed drum.
The interlock plates in the first type transmission
should be installed with the narrow one
at the bottom and the wide one at the top. The
lugs on the ends of the narrow plate should also
extend upward and the short end of both plates
should be toward the high speed shifter shaft.
