NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.
10.Clean and dry the right side cover mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718
- 0003, evenly to the block mating surface of the
right side cover and to the inner threads of the bolt
holes. Install it on the cylind€r block

NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

Note the Iollowing during reassembly:
. The 3rd/4th, and 5th synchro hubs, and the ball bearing are installed with a press.
. Installthe angular ball bearing with the thin-edged outer race facing the stop ring
prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply lubricant to any contact surfaces. The
3rd/4th and 5th svnchro hubs, however, should be installed with a press before lubricating them'

L Support the bearing inner race with a socket. and
Dush down on the mainshaft.
2. Measure the clearance between 2nd and 3rd oears.
Siandard: 0.06 - 0.21 mm 10.002 - 0.008 in)
Servica Limit: 0.3 mm (0.01 in)

Service Limit 34.8 mm (1.37 in)
3RD GEAR
lf the thickness of 3rd gear is less than the ser-
vice limit, replace 3rd gear with a new one.

1.Inspect the gear surface and bearing surface for
wear and damage, then measure the mainshaft at
points A, B, and C.
Standard:

C: 27.94 mm 11.100 inl
Inspect oil passages Ior clogging.
lf anv oart of the mainshaft is less than the service
limit. reolace it with a new one.
2. Inspect for runout.
Standard: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) max.
Service Limit: 0.05 mm 10.002 inl
NOTE: Support the mainshaft at both ends
sh own.
lf the runout is more than the service limit, reDlace
the mainshaft with a new one.

Tapered Roller Bearing Preload Adiustment
lf any oJ the items listed below were replaced, the tapered
roller bearing preload must be adjusted.
. Transmission housing
. Clutch housing
. Differential carrier
o Tapered roller bearing and bearing outer race
. Thrust shim
. 75 mm sham
1. Remove the bearing outer race and thrust shim
from the transmission housing (see page 13-40)'
NOTE:
. Do not reuse the thrust shim if the bearing outer
race was driven out.
. Let the transmission cool to room temperature il
the bearing outer race was removed by heating
the clutch housing.
2. Do not use more than one thrust shim to adjust the
tapered bearing preload. First try the same size
thrust shim that was removed. There are no shims
used on the clutch housing side
SHIMTHRUST
/A
After installing the thrust shim, install the bearing
outer race in the transmission housing (see page
13-40).
With the mainshaft and countershaft removed,
install the differential assembly, and torque the
clutch housing and transmission housing.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to use sealing agent be-
tween the housings.
TOBOUE; 8 x 1.25 mm: 27 N'm(2.8 kgf'm, 20 lbt'ftl
Rotate the differential assembly in both directions
to seat the tapered roller bearings.
Measure the tapered roller bearing preload at nor-
mal room temperature. Measure the starting torque
of the differential assembly in both directions with
the special tool and a torque wrench.
