  9. Install 5th and reverse gear shift shaft with 5th and reverse gear shift guide shaft into right-side case. See Figure. Join reverse gear shift arm to reverse gear shift lever.
  10. Install reverse idler gear with reverse gear shift lever and insert reverse gear shaft with washer into case through idler gear. Align shaft mark "A" with case mark "B". See Fig 8. Install gear shift yoke to gear shift arm. Clean mating surfaces of left and right-side cases.
  11. Coat mating surface of left-side case with sealant and install to right-side case. Install 2 case bolts inside right-side case (clutch housing) and 11 case bolts to outside of left-side case and torque to 16 ft. lbs. (22 N.m). See Figure. Install reverse shaft bolt with Loctite and aluminum washer and torque to 10 ft. lbs. (14 N.m).
  12. Install gear shift and select shaft assembly into left-side case, inserting bottom of gear shift and select shaft into gear shift yoke. Install gear shift interlock bolt and washer into left-side case. Torque to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  13. Install back-up light switch into left-side case. Apply silicone sealer to gear shift guide case mating surface. Install gear shift guide case, retaining clamp and secure with 4 bolts. Torque to 89 INCH lbs. (10 N.m). See Fig 9.
  14. Inspect shift shaft detent springs for deterioration or deformation. See SHIFT SHAFT DETENT SPRINGS LENGTH table. Replace with new springs as necessary. Install steel balls, spring, washers and bolts. See Fig 10. Torque gear shift shaft bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (14 N.m).
    SHIFT SHAFT DETENT SPRINGS LENGTH

    Spring Length In. (mm)
    Low Speed Spring
    Standard Length 1.028 (26.10)
    Service Limit .984 (25.00)
    High Speed Spring
    Standard Length 1.579 (40.10)
    Service Limit 1.535 (39.00)
  15. Install gear shift yoke bolt with loctite and torque to 26 ft. lbs. (35 N.m). See Figure. Install left case cap "O" ring and left case cap to left-side case. Torque to 89 INCH lbs. (10 N.m).
  16. Install countershaft LH bearing race to bearing. Select suitable shim to adjust clearance "A". See Fig 11. Install shim on bearing race. Place Flat Gauge Bar (Geo J34673) over it and compress. Measure "A" using feeler gauge. Clearance should be .0031-.0047" (.08-.12 mm).
  17. Install left case plate, inserting end in groove of shift guide shaft. See Fig 12. Apply Loctite to screws and torque to 102 INCH lbs. (12 N.m). Ensure countershaft can be rotated by hand.
