TRANSMISSION
(“Hornet”)
11
Install the main shaft assembly through the rear
of the case. As this is done, move it to the right
side of the case so as to engage the shifter forks.
Installing the Clutch Shaft Assembly
Insert the fourteen clutch shaft bearing rollers
in the clutch shaft. A coat of lubriplate will
hold them in position. Then install the front
friction ring and the clutch shaft on the main
shaft (Fig. 28).
FIGURE 28— Installing the Clutch Shaft
Install the oil slinger on the clutch shaft
with the concave side to the rear.
The front bearing can be driven in place using
Tool J-2995, together with the thrust yoke J-3042
(Fig. 29).

FIGURE 29— Installing the Clutch Shaft
Bearing
The clutch shaft small snap ring can be installed
with snap ring pliers or Tool J-2995 Snap Ring
Installing Set. Then install the large bearing
snap ring.
After installing a rew oil seal in the bearing
cap, install the front bearing cap. Always use a
new gasket between the bearing cap and the case.
The thickness of the gasket used governs clutch
shaft end play. The desired end play is .000".
Friction Ring Clearance
Measure the clearance of the friction rings
using friction ring clearance gauge (J-1410).
These clearances should be between .060" and
.080". If less, add steel shims as required
between the rear bearing cap or overdrive
adapter and transmission case. Gaskets must he
used on both sides of the steel shim.
The transmission now requires only a final
check by shifting in all gears. Check the
operation carefully, then install the case
cover and gasket, placing the stamping marked
"FRONT" to the front of the case (Fig. 30).

"FRONT" on Both Cover and Gasket
LUBRICATION OF THE
TRANSMISSION
Check the lubricant level of the transmission
every 1,000 miles. The transmission should be
filled to the drain plug level on the right
side. Drain and clean twice a year, or every
10,000 miles, using only flushing oils. Do not
use gasoline, kerosene, steam, etc.
For atmospheric temperatures above 32°F.,
use mineral gear lubricant SAE No. 90 in the
transmission.
Below 32°F., use SAE No. 80.
When difficulty in shifting is experienced
in subzero temperatures, dilute the transmis-
sion oil as required using light engine oil.
Transmission capacity (U.S.) 2-1/4 pints.
