REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS The following procedure applies to all three front countershafts.
2. Install the key into the keyway of the front countershaft, using a soft-faced mallet.
Remember to apply the recommended oil to all shaft and gear surfaces before pressing parts together.
The key must be even with the front end of the shaft. 327
Do not attempt to press-remove the Lo speed or reverse gears from the countershaft. These gears are integral with the shaft and could fragment explosively when pressing action is attempted. 1. Press a new bearing cup into the front countershaft main drive gear, using a suitable driver. 326
Figure 327 — Installing Key
3. Position the first (fifth) speed gear onto the countershaft and align gear slot with the previously installed key. Press the first (fifth) speed gear on the countershaft using a suitable press arrangement.
During all pressing operations involving a key and keyway, watch the key to make sure that no material is shaved off as each gear is being pressed on. This material can collect between the gears and prevent proper seating.
