Input shaft, adjusting 
     
Note:  
     The input shaft must be re-adjusted if the 
transmission housing, input shaft or ball bearing 
is replaced. 
     
Special tools and equipment  
     
30-100 press tube
     3167 spacer gauge
     Depth gauge
    
Calculating dimension -x-   -  Clamp input shaft in vice using protective jaws -A-.
-  Place 3167 spacer gauge onto 3rd gear.
-  Place transmission housing over input shaft onto spacer gauge.
    
-  Place depth gauge onto transmission housing and measure to lower 
circlip groove of input shaft.

Determining circlip thickness behind the input shaft ball bearing   -  Place depth gauge onto transmission housing and measure to seating 
surface for ball bearing. 
   Measurement in the following example: -b- = 26.80 mm (1.055 in.)
Formula:  
x = a - b  
Example:  
  
   Dimension -a-   28.50 mm  
-   Dimension -b-   26.80 mm  
=   Dimension -x- (thickness of circlip)   1.70 mm  
-  Determine circlip according to table   Page 35

Determining the circlip in front of input shaft 
ball bearing  
     
-  Drive rear circlip (as calculated) and ball bearing 
onto input shaft using 30-100 press tube. 
    
Available circlips   -  Determine thickest circlip which can still just be installed.
-  Determine circlip according to table. Part number   parts catalogCirclip thickness (mm)
