Reference: COUNTERSHAFT AND REVERSE IDLE GEAR INSPECTION
- Clean all components thoroughly, inspect them for any abnormality and replace with new ones as necessary.
- To ensure lubrication, air blow oil holes (1) and make sure that they are free from any obstruction.
- Drive in countershaft rear bearing (1) using special tool and hammer.
Special Tool
- 09913-84510
- Apply oil to countershaft gear needle bearing (6), and then install needle bearing, 2nd gear (5) and low speed synchronizer ring (7).
- Assemble synchronizer sleeve (4) and hub (3) as follows.
- Fit low speed synchronizer sleeve to hub in specified direction as shown in figure.
- Insert 3 keys (2) to hub.
- Set springs (1) at specified position as shown in figure.
Synchronizer key installation position
: A = B
- Drive in low speed synchronizer assembly (1) using special tool and hammer.NOTE:
- While press-fitting sleeve & hub, make sure that synchronizer ring key slots (2) are aligned with keys in sleeve & hub assembly.
- Check free rotation of 2nd gear after press-fitting sleeve & hub assembly.
Special Tool
- 09913-84510
- Check 2nd gear (1) thrust clearance by using thickness gauge. If clearance is out of specification, repress-fit or replace defective part.
2nd gear thrust clearance
"a": 0.10-0.30 mm (0.004-0.012 in.)
- Apply oil to countershaft gear needle bearing, and then countershaft low needle bush, needle bearing and 1st gear (1) to countershaft.
- Press-fit countershaft reverse gear (2) using special tool and hammer.
Special Tool
- 09913-80113
- Press-fit countershaft front bearing (1) using special tool and hammer.
Special Tool
- 09913-84510
- Check low gear (1) thrust clearance by using thickness gauge. If clearance is out of specification, repress-fit or replace defective part.
Low gear thrust clearance
"a": 0.10-0.30 mm (0.004-0.012 in.)
- Tighten countershaft front bearing nut to specified torque while locking counter shaft in the same manner as step 2 of "Disassembly" under Countershaft Disassembly and Assembly
.CAUTION: Do not hold spline, gear teeth or abrasive surface of shaft with vise through "V" blocks or the like, otherwise shaft may be damaged.
Tightening torque
Countershaft front bearing nut: 210 N.m (21.0 kg-m, 152.0 lb-ft)
- Caulk countershaft front bearing nut using caulking tool and hammer.
