Driveshaft and Clutch Assembly

If disassembled, position the driveshaft on a work surface with the internal gear end down. Assemble the driveshaft and clutch group in the following way:

IMPORTANT: If the center support bearing is being replaced, install the center support bearing on the driveshaft.






1. Install the driveshaft support to the driveshaft, seating the bearing in the support.
2. Install the clutch drive assembly to the driveshaft.
3. Install the new pinion stop onto the driveshaft.
- Slide the pinion stop onto the driveshaft until the recess for the stop rings faces up.
- Install the stop rings into the groove in the driveshaft.
- Pick the assembly up. Support the assembly under the pinion stop. A metal block, with a U-shaped cutout that will slide over the shaft between the pinion gear and stop, can be clamped in a vise order to provide support.
- Ensure that the stop rings are seated fully in the pinion stop recess.
- Stake the upper edge of the pinion stop over the stop ring at 4 equally spaced places.

Do not allow the staked metal to contact the driveshaft.
