Countershaft Assemble

Notice: Various transmission components require heating to 150°C (300°F) for 30 minutes for proper installation. Overheating may damage the components. Under-heating the components may cause hard installation, which may damage the components.

Important: Certain transmission components require preheating to 150°C (300°F). In order to preheat the components use an electric oven. It is recommended to purchase a roaster/oven style locally. The oven should have a temperature setting thermostat.
