Precautions during disassembly and assembly
WARNING! In order to prevent damage to transmission parts during initial gears
movement, it is important when assembling the transmission, to lubricate gear
bearings, needle bearings, non sealed bearings and all other parts under friction
conditions, with the same transmission lubricant oil.
Cleaning and handling
In order to completely clean the parts, wash them into a bath of solvent (kerosene, for instance),
moving every part up and down slowly until all the old lubricant and foreign material have
been dissolved.
WARNING! Care must be taken to avoid skin rasher, fire hazard and vapor
inhalation when using solvents.
Non sealed bearings
Immerse the bearings in clean solvent. Move them up and down slowly in order to loosen the
deposits. Dry the bearings by means of moisture free compressed-air. Repeat the operation
until the bearings are thoroughly clean.
WARNING! Never drive the air jet directly to bearings in order to rotate them in
high speed. That can damage bearings.
Synchronizer assemblies
Avoid bad handling of synchronizer assemblies. Either drops or bumps when disassembling
or assembling may cause they to lock.
