Countershaft: Testing and Inspection

CLEARANCE MEASUREMENT

NOTE: Lubricate all parts with ATF during assembly.

1. Remove the countershaft bearing from the transmission housing.





2. Install the parts below on the countershaft using the special tool and a press as described on this page.

NOTE: Do not assemble the O-rings during inspection.





3. Install the parts below on the countershaft sub-assembly, then torque the locknut to 29 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: Countershaft locknut has left-hand threads.





4. Measure the clearance between 4th gear and the reverse selector hub with a feeler gauge.

NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance. Standard: 0.10 - 0.18 mm (0.004 - 0.007 inch).

5. If the clearance is out of tolerance, remove the 28 mm distance collar, and measure the width.





6. Select and install a new distance collar, then recheck.
7. After replacing the distance collar, make sure the clearance is within tolerance.
