1. Place a Ball Stud Washer (9) onto the 4-40 x 1-1/2" Cap Head
Screw (112). Thread the Screw through the hole in the left side of the
rear Shock Tower, through both Gearbox Halves and into the Motor
plate (96).
*NOTE: In order to properly align all parts, it may be neces-
sary to push the transmission down and forward while inserting the
Screw.
2. Hold the rear suspension Arms up so that the Dogbones stay
in place, and turn the car over holding the Gearbox in place while
doing so. Align the two holes in the rear of the Gearbox Housing with
the two holes in the rear of the Pivot Plate (53).
*NOTE: Do Not use the Thread-Cutting Screw for the installa-
tion of the Screws into the
bottom
of the Gearbox.
3. Apply a small amount of White Assembly Grease (87) to each
of the two 4-40 x 3/8" Flat Head Screws (54). Thread the Screws
through the two holes in the back of the Pivot Plate into the Gearbox
Halves (94), (97).
There is a short Thread-Cutting Screw included in the
Wrench bag. This Screw can be used to tap threads in the holes
in the Gearbox Halves. Pre-tapping these holes makes it easier
to install the Screws during assembly.
4. Secure the top of the Motor Guard to the top of the Gearbox
by threading a 4-40 x 5/16" Button Head Screw (91) through each of
the two holes in the Motor Guard and into the top of the Gearbox
Halves (94), (97).

Gearbox Install:
Gearbox Install - Continued:
1. Place the assembled Chassis (19) on a flat table so that the
rear suspension Arms (50), (51) and Chassis are laying flat on the
table. This will make installing the Gearbox a little easier.
2. While using one hand to pull back the Motor Guard (111), use
the other to place the Gearbox assembly under the Motor Guard.
*NOTE: Assure that both Dogbones are inserted into the
Outdrive/Diff Halves before you complete the installation.
3. Insert the ball portion of the each Dogbone (59) into its per-
spective Outdrive/Diff Half (77), (83), by aligning the pin in the
Dogbone with the slot in the Outdrives.
4. "Work" the Gearbox down onto the rear Pivot Plate (53) while
locating the upper front portion of the Gearbox Halves (94), (97)
between the mounts on the back side of the rear Shock Tower (55).
The Gearbox assembly should now be sitting flat on the rear Pivot
Plate.
5. Make sure that the Motor Guard has returned to its normal
position and the holes on top are lined up with the holes in the top of
the Gearbox Halves.
Although this process seems a little cumbersome, over time
it has proven to be the most efficient method of installing and
removing the Gearbox assembly, either for maintenance or ini-
tial installation
