TRANSMISSION 8 - 9<br />
open, clean and the top sufficiently loose so that it may be<br />
rotated. The breather must be Installed so that the holes in<br />
the side of the body are fore and aft, and extend entirely<br />
through the top wall of the case, as shown in the illustration<br />
below, Figure 20.<br />
Transmission mainshaft bearings are built originally<br />
with end play and because they may feel quite loose, it<br />
does not necessarily indicate that they are worn and<br />
unfit for use.<br />
COUNTERSHAFT GEAR CLUSTER ASSEMBLY:<br />
Inspect all gears on cluster for damaged teeth.<br />
Remove any and all raised edges from teeth surfaces by<br />
hand stoning. Recommended diametrical clearance<br />
between countershaft and bore of cluster bushing is<br />
.001" to .0025". Replace bushings if clearance is greater<br />
than .005". Bushings can be removed with any suitable<br />
arbor press and driver.<br />
Should a new cluster gear be Installed, be sure that<br />
large gear (at driven end) has 26 teeth which is of the<br />
correct ratio and matches the 17 tooth Main Drive Gear.<br />
COVER BAFFLE:<br />
FIGURE 20<br />
The baffle plate welded to the transmission cover should<br />
be so arranged as to almost touch the case boss when cover<br />
screws are Installed. Bend baffle to obtain this position.<br />
TRANSMISSION BALL BEARINGS:<br />
DO NOT place bearings where dirt is liable to mix with<br />
the lubricant in the bearing.<br />
Bearings should be washed in clean gasoline or kerosene.<br />
DO NOT SPIN the bearings and particularly do not spin<br />
bearings with an air hose. Spinning a bearing at high speeds<br />
will almost certainly do considerable damage. After washing<br />
the bearings, blow them out with clean, dry air. Direct<br />
the flow of air into the open face of the bearing while<br />
holding the inner race and slowly rotate the outer race by<br />
hand. DO NOT ALLOW the air to spin the bearing.<br />
a. Inspect the bearings for cracks, chipped balls, race<br />
and cone.<br />
b. Lubricate the bearing with clean, new engine oil,<br />
rotating the bearings by hand in order to spread the<br />
lubricant over all surface.<br />
To replace cluster bushings, place both bushings in<br />
position in the gear cluster, being sure that the annular<br />
groove in each bushing is nearest the adjacent end of<br />
shaft. Install with Bushing Replacer J-1572, Figure 20,<br />
and turn until both bushings are drawn into gear to<br />

within .015" beyond each end of gear thrust face.<br />
Insert loose pilot guide of Reamer KMO-338 in one end<br />
of gear cluster and ream bushing to .865", Figure 22. Insert<br />
removable pilot inbore of reamed bushings and ream remaining<br />
bushing from opposite end of gear.
