General Instructions for Reassembly
Make sure the interior of the case and the other housings are clean. It is important that dirt be kept out of the transmission during
reassembly. Dirt is abrasive and can damage polished surfaces of sleeves, bushings, and bearings. Use certain precautions, as
listed below, during reassembly.
Gaskets
•
Use new gaskets throughout the transmission as it is being rebuilt. Make sure all gaskets are installed. Omission of gas-
kets can result in oil leakage or improper stack-up of bearing covers. Seat gasket on part to be installed with adhesive to
hold in place during installation.
Capscrews
•
To prevent oil leakage, use adhesive sealant on all capscrews. See Torque Ratings chart on page 6 for recommended
torque applications.
Initial Lubrication
•
Coat gear bushings, washers, and splines of mainshaft with Lubriplate during installation to provide initial lubrication,
thus preventing scoring and galling.
Bearings
•
Use of flanged-end bearing drivers is recommended for installation of bearings. These drivers apply equal force to both
inner and outer races of the bearing, preventing damage to the balls along with maintaining the correct bearing aligment
with the shaft and bore. If a tubular or sleeve driver is used, apply force evenly to the inner race and drive through the
tubing of the correct diameter.
