•
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

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.

T14A
TRANSMISSION
The
T14A is a three
speed
fully synchronized (all

forward
gears) transmission with helical drive gears
throughout.

The
main drive gear is supported by a
ball
bearing at the front end of the transmission case and is
piloted at its front end in an oil impregnated bush­
ing mounted in the crankshaft.

The
front end of the mainshaft is piloted in a row
of
roller
bearings set
into
the hollow end of the main

drive
gear and the
rear
end is
carried
by a
ball

bearing
mounted in the
rear
transmission case.
The
counter gear is
carried
on a single row of

rollers
at both ends. The reverse idler gear is
carried

on a single row of rollers in the center.
Thrust
is

taken
on thrust washers located
between
the
ends

of the counter and reverse idler gear and the thrust
bosses
in the case.

The
three forward gears (low, second, third) are

fully
synchronized. The synchronizer assemblies
consist of
clutch
hubs, clutch
sleeves,
clutch springs,

and
three synchronizer plates and are retained on
the mainshaft by a
select
fit snap
ring.
The
shift is manual through a cane shift lever and
interlock
assembly to the
rearward
shift fork
operating low and reverse gear and to the forward
shift fork operating second and
third
gear.

ASSEMBLIES

Important:
Should a synchronizer assembly
(either low-and-reverse or second-and-high) be re­
placed for any reason on a cane shift transmission,
the shift fork that operates the synchronizer being
replaced must have an identifying letter "A" ap­ pearing just under the shaft
hole
on the side

opposite
the pin. If the letter "A"
does
not appear
on the existing fork, it must be replaced with a fork that has a letter "A" appearing thereon.
