inspection

a.
The interlock
sleeve
and poppet assembly should be carefully checked. Should the assembly
be too long, it
will
be impossible to shift gears and

if
it is too short, it
will
fail
to function as an inter­

lock
to prevent shifting into two gears at one time.

Locate
the intermediate-and-high control arm for
second gear position. Use a feeler
gauge
to measure
the clearance between the ends of the interlock

sleeve
and the notched surface of each shift lever
as shown in Fig.
J-l
1.

Clearance
must be from .001" to .007" [0,025 a
0,178 mm.] on each side of the interlock sleeve.

To
obtain correct clearance, interlock
sleeves
are

available
for selective fit.

The
different lengths can be identified by a letter at the end.

Should
an interlock
sleeve
need replacing, proceed
as follows:

Where
necessary drive out the taper retaining pins

from
the bottom of the shift lever bosses. Remove

levers and remove arms. Remove the shift
levers and then remove the
sleeve,
poppet
balls,

spring,
and interlock pin.
Check
the oil seal care­
fully
for oil leakage and replace if necessary,
b.
If it is evident that a minimum clearance of .001" to .007" [0,025 a 0,178 mm.] cannot be
obtained
between
the end of the interlock
sleeve
and
the shift levers, even though the
longest
sleeve

has been installed, replace the existing
sleeve
with

an
Interlock Sleeve Service Kit.
When
assembling the interlock
sleeve
be sure that
the shift lever
poppet
spring works freely inside the

interlock
sleeve
and that the interlock pin is not
omitted from inside the spring.
If
the notched surfaces of the shifting lever are

dirty
or rough, they should be cleaned and
smoothed. If notched surfaces are scored or dam­
aged, the lever should be replaced.

Each
time an interlock
sleeve
or shift lever is
replaced,
check the clearance
between
the inter­

lock
sleeve
and the shift lever.

Transmission
Inspection

a.
Wash the transmission case thoroughly inside
and
outside with cleaning solvent.

b.
Check
bearing and shaft bores. Inspect the case
for
cracks.
Check
the front and
rear
faces and dress
off any
burrs
with a fine
mill
file. If
cracks
are found

or
the bores are not true, replace the case.

c.
Clean
and inspect all gears and bronze blocking
rings for
cracks,
chipped or cracked teeth, or ex­cessive wear of the teeth.

d.
Inspect all bushings and bearings for wear or damage.
e.
Check
first and reverse sliding gear for freedom of movement on the mainshaft.

f.
Check
the clutch
sleeve
to see that it slides freely on the hub.

g.
Check
the condition of the bearing retainer oil

seal.

Transmission
Reassembly
—
T90,
T86AA

•
Refer to Fig. J-5, J-7
Assemble the unit in the reverse order of disas­
sembly, noting the following points:

a.
Oil circulation is provided
between
the trans­ mission and transfer case by the addition of drilled
passages
between
the two units. The
rear
face of
the transmission case is drilled with two %" 11,11 mm],
holes
and two [6,35 mm.] holes.

The
front face of the transfer case is drilled with
two %"
[11,11
mm.]
holes
to register with
those

drilled
in the transmission case. When making re­
placement of either unit or case, it is important that
mating parts be installed, that is, if a transmission
case is drilled use a drilled transfer case. It is im­
portant that the correct gasket, having
openings
for
oil
passage, be used with the drilled cases.

b.
Position the reverse idler gear in the case and

install
the shaft using care that the slot at the shaft end is correctly aligned to receive the lock plate.
c. Assemble the spacer, six washers, and four countershaft
needle
bearings in the countershaft
gear hub, using special tool W-166 with loading

sleeve,
as shown in Fig. J-9 and J-10. Place the

spacer
inside the hub and insert the special tool in
the spacer. Place a washer at each end of the spacer

and
load a set of bearing rollers at each end.
Then

add
a washer, a set of bearing rollers, and finally
another washer at each end to complete the as­ sembly. Place the countershaft gear assembly in
the case but do not install the countershaft until
the mainshaft and main drive gear are installed.

d.
When assembling the mainshaft gears, the low

and
reverse sliding gear is installed with the shift
shoe
groove
toward the front of the transmission.
e. The sequence of assembly of the synchronizer

unit
is shown in Fig. J-4.
First
install the two springs in the high and intermediate clutch hub

with
the spring tension opposed. Place the right lipped end of one spring in a slot of the hub and
place the spring in the hub.
Turn
the hub around
and
make exactly the same installation with the other spring, starting with the same slot. In­

stall
the three synchronizer shifting plates in the
three
slots
in the hub with the smooth side of the
plates out. Hold the plates in position and slip the second and direct speed clutch
sleeve
over the hub

with
the long beveled
edge
toward the long part
of the clutch hub.
Install
the two blocking rings
one on each side of the hub.
Install
the completed
assembly on the mainshaft with the beveled
edge

of the clutch
sleeve
toward the front end of the
shaft.

f.
Install
main drive gear bearing
onto
the main
drive
gear shaft, using tool
KF-128A.

g.
When installing the mainshaft, use care that the
needle
bearing rollers in the main drive gear
are
correctly positioned. Use heavy grease to hold
them in position for assembly.

h.
The countershaft gear set, when assembled in
the case, should have .012" to .018" [0,305 a
0,457
mm.] end play.
This
clearance is obtained by selective thickness of the
rear
steel thrust washer

which
is available in .0555" and .0625"
[1,410
a 1,587 mm.] thickness.

After
installation of the front and
rear
bearing

retainers
on the mainshaft,
turn
the transmission over to allow the gears to mesh and also to permit alignment and installation of the countershaft.

i.
To install the countershaft gear set in the
case, first install the large bronze thrust washer
at the front of the case with the lip of the washer
entered in the slot of the case. Use heavy grease to hold this washer in position. Next, install the steel thrust washer at the
rear
of the case.
Start

the countershaft into the case just enough to hold
this washer in place. Align the slot in the counter­ shaft with the slot in the reverse idler gear shaft
to permit installation of the lock plate. Be sure the

thrust
washers are correctly positioned.
Then

position the bronze-faced washer against the
rear
end of the gear and place the gear in its running
position.
Tap
the countershaft through the counter­shaft gear set and the case, forcing out the special
tool W-166.

j.
Attach the transfer case to the transmission 247

J

THREE-SPEED
TRANSMISSION
before
the unit is installed in the vehicle. When
doing this, use care that the countershaft and

reverse
idler shaft lock plate shown in Fig. J-8
is correctly positioned in the recess in the transfer case housing.
Three

long [2,86 cm.] screws and
two 1" long [2,54 cm.] screws are used to attach the

transfer
case housing to the transmission housing.
Install
the 1" long [2,54 cm.] screws in the lower

left
and lower right mounting holes.
