Rotate pawl carrier (EE) until pawl carrier contacts lifter ar m (Y+X). Hold the shifter cam (D) with opposite hand to pre vent cam
follower (I) from completing gearshifts. If hand pressure is released from shifter cam the gears will be dr awn into complete
engagement and all inspection procedures will be perf ormed incorrectly.
Shift transmission into first gear then chec k gear to dog Pocket Engagement. Correct engagement should be 25%.
Shift transmission into all other gears chec king Pocket Engagement, which must be at least 50%.
Filing of lifter ar ms (Y+X) will produce changes in P ocket Engagement.
Use the thinnest low gear washer and mainshaft washer. On 1954-early 84 models the mainshaft thr ustwasher must be installed
with Tang Down. For 1954-early 1984 models the mainshaft needle bear ing will have to be installed. Temporarily install access
cover to crankcase with all transmission parts. Carefully align Cover Dowel Pins and with a r awhide mallet tap into position and
install four cap screws.
When installing transmission into case check shift fork shaft for correct alignment to case. Do not force transmission into case if
shift fork shaft will not go in to case . If shift fork shaft is forced into case damage or bending to shaft will happen causing shifter
roller finger to bind against shifter cam plate or shifter f ork binging on shaft or with pa wl carrier assembly.
On 1954-E84 Models Inspect case race and rollers, if badly pitted scored or w orn they should be replaced. Correct fit of main
bearing is .0006in-.0014in. If clearance is beyond specified limit a new race and bearings must be installed, and line lapped f or
proper fit. Note: Fitment of door to case ma y sometimes requires reaming of holes in access door or remo val of alignment pins
from case. If removal of dowel pins is necessar y tapping dowel pin holes and use of additional bolts is suggested.
Note also that even during factory assembly process several access doors were tried before final assembly.
Using a Dial Indicator measure mainshaft endpla y from sprocket side of shaft, press against clutch gear so that bear ing seats
against lock ring in access cover. Move shaft back and forth and measure endplay while holding clutch gear in. If endplay is not
with specification (see char t) install thrust washer of suitable size.
With access cover still in place bend a discarded spok e or other suitable wire and wedge into hole on end of countershaft. Push
and pull countershaft and measure endpla y with dial indicator. If endplay is not within specification (see char t) install countershaft
washer of suitable size.
After countershaft endplay has been established install oiler plug in access co ver with oil hole up.
Note: On 1959-early 84 models the clutch m ust be temporarily installed and the 1984-85 models the Stator spacing r ing and the
Stator must be installed on access door bef ore above Endplay clearances can be established.
When Mainshaft and Countershaft end pla y established install new shifter shaft into the cr ankcase so that the shifter le ver arm is
centered. Using a grease pencil mark the shaft at the 12 ocloc k position by marking the shaft you can tell if the shifter le ver arm
position changes when installing the tr ansmission. Correct shaft to shifter pawl yoke engagement is impor tant for proper gear
shifting. Install transmission and rotate countershaft slowly to check that the gear shift ar m is engaged with shifter pa wl. To do so
rotate shift lever, a noticeable resistance to movement indicates proper engagement.
