FIGURE 33— Remove the Rear Bearing Cap
and Oil Seal ("Rambler" Series shown)
After removing the rear bearing cap, drive out
the old oil seal. A new oil seal will be used in
reassembly.
Now remove the snap ring retaining the
speedometer drive gear in position. This snap
ring is serviced in four different sizes, and must
be used as required on assembly to avoid any
possible end play of the speedometer drive gear.
The speedometer drive gear is also retained with
a Woodruff key (Fig. 34).
FIGURE 34— Remove the Speedometer Drive
Gear and Woodruff Key
To remove the transmission clutch shaft, the
main shaft assembly must be moved to the rear of
the transmission case about 1/2". Then by
lowering the front end of the clutch shaft and
raising the rear end over the countershaft gear,
the shaft can be removed from the case (Fig. 35).
FIGURE 35— Remove the Clutch Shaft
Clutch Shaft Roller Bearings
Inside the rear end of the clutch shaft are
thirteen roller bearings. These form the front
bearing assembly for the main shaft. Worn or
loose rollers will result in a noisy transmis-
sion. Inspect for worn, pitted, or scored
surfaces (Fig. 36).

(Figs. 37, 38, 39 and 40).
