CAUTION!!
The mainshaft and countershaft end play is set by a shim pack installed under their
respective rear bearing cups, installed in the transmission rear case.
NOTE:
• Prior to the shim installation, thoroughly clean the parts and remove any signs of sealant left on their
contact faces.
• Rotate the mainshaft several turns clockwise and counterclockwise, to ensure that the mainshaft and
