TRANSMISSION
(“Hornet”)
7
Remove the shifter shafts from the inside of the
case slowly to catch the two interlock ball
bearings as the shafts are being removed. The
interlock sleeve and spring can then be removed.
Now remove the shifter shaft oil seals from
the case. This completes the disassembly of the
transmission.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING PARTS
With the transmission completely disassembled,
all parts should be carefully cleaned so that they
can be thoroughly examined.
Gears
Wash all gears in a cleaning solution. Inspect
for worn, cracked, or chipped teeth. Slide each
gear onto a new shaft. If it appears to be loose,
it must be replaced.
NOTE: Whenever any transmission gear requires
replacement, the gear with which it meshes should
also be replaced.
Bearings
Bearings must be handled with great care. Wrap
them in a clean cloth or paper until they can be
washed.
To wash a bearing, submerge it in a cleaning
solution that is absolutely free of dirt, and
rotate it to flush away all oil and dirt. Dry
the bearing with care.
Carefully examine each bearing for cracked
races, worn, or scored balls.
Main Shaft
Install the gears onto the main shaft to be sure
they slide on and off easily. They should fit
smoothly without excessive play between the
splines. If the fit is tight, look for burred
edges on the splines.
Synchro-Clutch and Friction Rings
Carefully inspect the synchro-clutch and fric-
tion rings. Slide the rings on the cones of the
second speed gear and the clutch shaft. Replace
rings if there is excessive wear on the taper.
Transmission Case
Examine the surfaces of the bearing recesses in
the transmission case for wear or scoring,
which indicates that the bearing has been
revolving in its housing. Examine the case for
cracks or other defects.
Be certain that all parts of the case are
thoroughly clean before and during assembly.
