Bearings

Install needle bearings with the lettering on the
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing
towards the drift or other tool used for installing.
Mark needle bearings of 1st to 6th speed sliding
gears when removing, this ensures that when
installing, the same installation position can be
guaranteed.
Grease needle bearing for transmission input
shaft in rear of flywheel.
Lubricate all bearings in transmission housing
with gear oil before installing.
Heat inner races of tapered roller bearings to
approx. 100 C before installing. Press in onto
stop when installing so there is no axial
clearance.

Do not interchange the outer or inner races of
bearings of the same size.
Always replace the tapered roller bearings on
one shaft together and use new bearings from a
single manufacturer.

Synchronizer rings

Do not interchange synchronizer rings. When
reusing always fit to the same gear.
Check for wear, replace if necessary.
Lubricate with gear oil before installing.

Clutch mechanism
When removing transmission, remove clutch
slave cylinder without disconnecting lines.
If the slave cylinder is removed with the
hydraulic line attached, do not depress clutch
pedal. Otherwise the piston will be pressed out
of the slave cylinder.
Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight:
loosen and tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence
and in several gradual stages.
To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch,
thoroughly clean the clutch bellhousing, the
flywheel and the parts of the engine facing the
transmission.
