TRANSMISSION
(“Hornet”)

1. Dummy Shaft
2. Rear Thrust Washer
FIGURE 22— Install the Countershaft Gear
Assembly in the Transmission Case
Reinstalling the Reverse Idler Gear
Install the reverse idler gear with the chamfered
side of the teeth (or the hub section) to the
front of the case. Then drive the reverse idler
shaft in from the rear of the case with the
notched end of the shaft to the rear. The notch
should face to the countershaft ( Fig. 23).
1. Reverse Idler Gear
FIGURE 23—Installing Reverse Idler Gear
Position the countershaft gear assembly and drive
the countershaft in place, thereby removing the
dummy shaft.
Install the lock plate in the grooves in the
countershaft and reverse idler shaft (Fig. 24).
Now install the low and reverse, and second
and high shifter forks.
Assembling the Main (Spline) Shaft and Rear
Bearing Cap
Press the rear transmission bearing onto the main
shaft until it is tight against the shoulder of
the shaft.
l. Lock Plate
FIGURE 24—Installing the Lock Plate
Then place the Woodruff key in the main shaft
keyway, install the speedometer drive gear on
the shaft tight against the rear bearing, and
install the snap ring ( Item 5, Fig. 25). USE
THE THICKEST SIZE SNAP RING POSSIBLE TO PREVENT
END PLAY.
To install the main shaft Oilite bushing,
assemble the felt oil ring on it and press the
bushing into the rear bearing cap. The shoulder
on the main shaft bushing must remain 1/4" from
the shoulder in the bearing cap to prevent
compressing the felt oil ring (Item 7, Fig. 25).
Install the main shaft assembly into the rear
bearing cap, and install the rear bearing lock
ring (Item 1, Fig. 25). This lock ring must be
large enough to fill the groove in the main
shaft to prevent possible end play.
Use Tool J-1354 to install the rear bearing
cap oil seal (Item 9. Fig. 25).
Assembling the Gears on the Main
(Spline) Shaft
The low and reverse sliding gear goes on first.
Slide it onto the shaft with the shifting collar
to the front. The gear should be free to slide
on the splines for easy shifting (Fig. 26).
Install the second speed gear with the
tapered cone to the front.
