Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air flow rates. (00061a)
1. Clean all parts in solvent except the case and main drive gear needle bearings. Dry parts with low pressure compressed air.
NOTE
Never wash the transmission case and needle bearings with solvent. Normal cleaning methods will wash dirt or other contaminants into the bearing case (behind the needles) leading to bearing failure.
2. See Figure 6-59. Inspect the shifter pawl lever assembly (1) for wear. Replace assembly if pawl ends are damaged. Replace centering spring (3) if elongated.
3. Inspect the shifter spring (4). Replace if the spring fails to hold the pawl on the cam pins.
4. Thoroughly clean the oil pan with solvent.
5. Inspect preformed transmission top cover vent hose for damage. Replace as necessary. Use low-pressure compressed air to verify that hose and fitting are unobstructed.
