Thoroughly clean all connections and the
surrounding area before disconnecting.
When installing transmission, ensure dowel
sleeves are correctly seated.

O-rings, seals, gaskets
Always replace O-rings, seals and gaskets.
After removing gaskets and seals, always
inspect the contact surface on the housing or
shaft for burrs resulting from removal or for
other signs of damage.
Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before
assembling.

Before installing radial shaft oil seals, lightly oil outer edge and fill
space between sealing lips (arrow) with a thin coating of sealing
grease G 052 128 A1. The open side of the oil seals faces toward the side with fluid filling.When replacing oil seals, always vary the point at which the sealing
lips make contact (use insertion depth tolerances). Lightly oil O-rings before installing; this prevents the rings being
crushed when inserting. Check oil level after replacing gaskets and oil seals Page 34

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.
