MAINSHAFT AND GEARS

Disassembly and Assembly
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
^ Do not reuse snap rings.
^ Position mainshaft on the vise with back plate and remove gears and snap rings.





^ For installation and removal of snap ring, position snap ring pliers and flat pliers at both sides of snap ring. Stretch snap ring, and move it with flat pliers.
^ Disassemble gear components putting matching marks on the parts that do not affect any functions.

DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove snap ring (1).





2. Install Tool (A) and suitable tool onto 6th main gear (1), and remove mainshaft rear bearing inner race (2) and 6th main gear (1) from mainshaft.
Tool number A: ST33052000 ( - )





3. Install Tool (A) and suitable tool onto 4th main gear (1), and remove 5th main gear (2), and 4th main gear (1) from mainshaft.
Tool number A: ST33052000 ( - )
4. Remove intermediate adjusting shim.





5. Install Tool (A) and suitable tool onto 1st main gear (1), and remove 1st main gear (1), 1st-2nd synchronizer assembly (2), 2nd main gear (3), bushing, and 3rd main gear (4) from main-shaft.
Tool number A: ST33052000 ( - )





6. Install Tool (A) and suitable tool onto mainshaft front bearing inner race (1), and remove mainshaft front bearing inner race (1) from mainshaft.
Tool number A: ST33052000 ( - )

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Mainshaft and Gears





Check items below. If necessary, replace them with new ones.
^ Damage, peeling, dent, uneven wear, bending, and other nonstandard conditions of the shaft.
^ Excessive wear, damage, peeling, and other non-standard conditions of the gears.

Synchronizer





Check items below. If necessary, replace them with new ones.
^ Damage and excessive wear of contact surfaces of coupling sleeve, synchronizer hub, insert key.
^ Coupling sleeve and synchronizer hub must move smoothly.





^ If any crack, damage, or excessive wear is found on cam face of baulk ring or working face of insert, replace it.

Bearing





Check items below. If necessary, replace them with new ones.

CAUTION: When replacing tapered roller bearing, replace outer and inner races as a set.

^ Damage and rough rotation of bearing

CAUTION: Bearing preloading shim: after the intermediate adjusting shim and/or the 6th main gear, 5th main gear, and 4th main gear have been replaced, it is necessary to modify the bearing preload setting by changing the bearing preload shim.

^ Replacing the intermediate adjusting shim.
- Increase the size of the bearing preload shim, if the replaced intermediate adjusting shim is thinner than the shim used before.
- Decrease the size of the bearing preload shim, if the replaced intermediate adjusting shim is thicker than the shim used before.
^ Replacing the 6th main gear, 5th main gear, and 4th main gear.
- Measure the thickness of the main gear used before and the new main gear.
- Increase the thickness of the bearing preload shim, if the difference is smaller than 0.025 mm (0.0010 in).
- Decrease the thickness of the bearing preload shim, if the difference is greater than 0.025 mm (0.0010 in).
