13. Discard the washer.

14. Remove the overdrive gear shift fork roll pins.

15. Remove the overdrive gear retainer ring.

Important: For installation alignment scribe an alignment mark on the synchronizer hubs and synchronizer sleeves before removing. To prevent the synchronizer springs and struts from being lost, do not separate the synchronizer hubs from the synchronizer sleeves. Keep the synchronizer clutch gear and the blocking rings with the synchronizer hubs. Organize the components in order to install the components in their original location and position.

16. Scribe a mark on the overdrive synchronizer hub and synchronizer hub sleeve.

17. Remove the overdrive gear assembly with the shift fork from the countershaft.
18. Remove the spacer.
19. Remove the roller bearings.
20. Remove the thrust washer.
21. Remove the thrust washer pin from the countershaft.

22. (RWD models) Using a suitable gear puller, remove the mainshaft overdrive gear and the vehicle speed sensor reluctor wheel from the mainshaft.

23. Remove the mainshaft rear bearing retainer bolts.
24. Remove the mainshaft rear bearing retainer.
25. Remove the shim(s).
26. Remove the mainshaft rear bearing cup.
27. Move the synchronizer sleeves into the neutral position.
28. Position the overdrive gear shift lever over to the side and hold in position with a rubber band.

29. For installation alignment, mark the input shaft bearing retainer and transmission case.
30. Remove the input shaft bearing retainer bolts.
31. Insert a bolt in one of the threaded holes to assist in removing the retainer.
32. Remove the input shaft retainer.

33. Remove the input shaft.
34. Remove the main drive gear bearing.

35. Remove input shaft bearing cone using the J 22912-01 (1) and a hydraulic press.

36. Use the following procedure in order to remove the mainshaft assembly from the case:
36.1. Lift the mainshaft and move to the rear of the case.
36.2. Tip the front of the mainshaft up and remove the mainshaft from the case.

37. Remove the countershaft bearing retainer bolts.
38. Remove the countershaft bearing retainer.
39. Remove the shim(s).
40. Remove the countershaft rear bearing cup.

41. Remove the reverse idler gear and shaft:
41.1. Using a suitable punch drive the reverse idler gear shaft towards the rear of the case.
41.2. Remove the reverse idler gear.
41.3. Remove the thrust washers.
41.4. Remove the bearings and spacer.

42. Remove the countershaft rear bearing using a suitable gear puller. Removing the countershaft rear bearing will allow the countershaft to be angled for removal.

43. Remove the countershaft from the transmission case. Slide the countershaft rearward and lift the front of the countershaft and out of the case.

44. Using a punch or chisel remove the countershaft front bearing cap.
45. Discard the removed bearing cap.
46. Remove the countershaft front bearing cup.

47. Remove the roll pin from the overdrive gear shift lever.
48. Remove the shift lever shaft.

50. Remove the seal from the input shaft bearing retainer.

51. (RWD only) Remove the mainshaft seal from the extension housing.

52. (RWD only) Remove the mainshaft rear bearing retainer ring.
53. Remove the rear output shaft rear bearing.
54. Remove the speedometer drive spacer, if equipped.

Important: For installation alignment scribe an alignment mark on the synchronizer hubs and synchronizer sleeves before removing. To prevent the synchronizer springs and struts from being lost, do not separate the synchronizer hubs from the synchronizer sleeves. Keep the synchronizer clutch gear and the blocking rings with the synchronizer hubs. Organize the components in order to install the components in their original location and position.

55. Remove the 4th speed gear clutch gear.
56. Remove the 4th speed gear synchronizer ring.
57. Remove the main drive gear thrust bearing.

58. Using a hydraulic press and the J 22912-01 remove the 3rd speed gear and the synchronizer assembly. Use the J 22912-01 under the gear to prevent the synchronizer hub from separating from the synchronizer sleeve.
