4. Remove the snap ring and the splined washer.
5. Remove the countershaft third gear.
6. At the opposite end of the countershaft (the short
end), remove fifth gear.
7. Remove the snap ring and splined washer.
8. Remove second gear.

Countershaft Assembly
NOTE
Before installing any component, coat
all surfaces with molybdenum disul
fide oil.
1. Install second gear (A,
Figure 25
) onto the short
end of the countershaft and slide the gear up against
the stop. The gear’s engagement slots must face out.
2. Install a splined washer (B,
Figure 25
) and a
new snap ring (C). The snap ring’s flat side must
face away from splined washer and the snap ring
must be completely seated in its groove. Position
the end gap (
Figure 16
) so it sits above a groove in
the countershaft.
4. Install fifth gear (
Figure 26
) so its fork groove
faces away from second gear.
5. On the opposite end of the shaft, install third
gear so its shouldered side (
Figure 27
) faces toward
the stop on the countershaft.
6. Install the splined washer (A,
Figure 28
) and a
new snap ring (B). The flat side of the ring must
face away from the splined washer.
7. Install fourth gear (
Figure 29
) so the side with
the fork groove faces in.
