PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER AND POSITIONS OF THE SHIFT FORKS

PAY CLOSE ATTETION TO WHICH SHAFTS HAVE WASHERS ON THE ENDS AND ON WHICH ENDS.

SHIFT FORK PIVOT SHAFTS ARE NOT THE SAME ONE IS HOLLOW AND PAY ATTENTION WHICH ONE.


Do that and it's almost idiot proof. You can't disassemble the gear sets without snap ring pliers and a 60ton press so don't worry there

Thanks another question when I split the case how do I want to position it will things just fall out on me or does it all have to be pulled out

 

[duneracerweston]

The trans stays in the right case usually, and the crank stays in the left normally

Alright thanks

Ditto to Weston's replies. You can lay the engine on either it's left or right sides and split the cases. The trans will stay in either side. Also, use grey RTV. I have found it works best when used as the one and only form of "gasket" on any metal to metal mating surfaces.

Oh yeah, if you intend to lay it on it's left side (so the trans stays in the left side case), you will have to be sure to remove the 12mm hex head "plug bolt" along with it's copper washer, spring, and check ball. That is there for the reverse shift drum, and needs to be removed when taking the right side case off.

What about if I'm taking off the side of the case with the flywheel do I still need to take it out I need to look at the tranny what all bolts do I need to remove?

 

[duneracerweston]

The plug is on the reverse shifter area, pull it out first. I always forget about it
