9 - 12 OVERDRIVE<br />
DISASSEMBLY OF HOUSING<br />
2. Remove the overdrive mainshaft oil seal (46) with<br />
Remover J-943.<br />
3. Remove the two bearing snap rings (44) and remove<br />
overdrive mainshaft rear bearing (45).<br />
CLEANING AND INSPECTION<br />
As each part is removed from the assembly, wash it with<br />
clean solvent and wipe dry. Protect parts from subsequent<br />
dirt accumulation.<br />
After cleaning give parts visual inspection for wear or<br />
damage. Replace any broken or excessively worn parts.<br />
Roller clutch parts should be carefully inspected. If rollers<br />
show surface markings of any kind they should be replaced.<br />
If inner surface of the outer roll shows slight lengthwise<br />
indentations, they are normal and do not impair the action<br />
of the clutch. However, if the 12 flat surfaces of the cam<br />
show such markings, it should be replaced.<br />
Inspect fit and tension of the balk ring on hub as follows:<br />
(a) When pushing one end of balk ring away from opposite<br />
end, ring should slide around the hub.<br />
(b) Push one end toward the other, the balk ring should grab<br />
and hold to the hub. If the ring does not hold, it should be<br />
replaced.<br />
Test the tension of the cam retaining springs after the cam<br />
assembly has been thoroughly washed. The springs are<br />
designed to twist the cam in a clockwise direction to hold<br />
the rollers up on the cam.<br />
NOTE: If the spring tension is weak or retarded, the unit<br />
will free-wheel at all times.<br />
To check spring tension, hold hub of cam and turn roller<br />
retainer counter-clockwise; suddenly releasing the retainer<br />
should cause the retainer to spring back quickly. If the<br />
action is slow or retarded, replace springs or complete assembly.<br />
BEARINGS:<br />
DO NOT place bearings where dirt is liable to mix with<br />
the lubricant in the bearings.<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<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 the<br />
flow of air into the open face of the bearing while holding the<br />
inner race and slowly rotate the outer race by hand. DO<br />
NOT ALLOW the air to spin the bearing.<br />
(a) Inspect the bearing for cracks and defects.<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 surfaces.<br />
Transmission mainshaft be a rings are built originally with<br />
end play and although they may feel quite loose, it does not<br />
necessarily indicate that they are worn and unfit for use.<br />
GEARS:<br />
Inspect all gears for damaged teeth. Remove any and all<br />
raised edges from tooth surfaces by hand stoning. Pitted and<br />
worn gears should be replaced.<br />
CONTROL SHAFT AND SEAL:<br />
Recommended clearance between control shaft and overdrive<br />
housing bore is .001" to .003" but clearance of twice this<br />
amount if not accompanied by oil leakage is permissible.<br />
If a new control shaft seal is Installed make sure that it does<br />
not interfere with rotation of control shaft.<br />
OVERDRIVE MAINSHAFT OIL SEAL:<br />
If the seal is hard, cracked, or glazed, or if signs of oil<br />
leakage are apparent at disassembly, Install a new seal.<br />
OVERDRIVE SHIFT RAIL<br />
DISASSEMBLY: (Single Lever Type)<br />
Drive out shift rail pin (2), Figure 20, remove sleeve (1),<br />
spring (3) and shifter fork (4).<br />
Check weight of shift rail springs. The shift rail sleeve<br />
spring (3) should have a free length of 2-7/32" and 1-25/64"<br />
length under load of eight pounds. The retractor spring in<br />
housing has a free length of 2-3/4" and 1-21/32" under load<br />
of 12 pounds.
