Assembly-Transmission Cover Components





Install the nylon inserts (50) and selector arm plates (44) in the shift forks (43).

Coat the edges of the shift rail plug (49) with sealant. Install the shift rail plug.

Coat the shift rail and shift rail bores with petroleum jelly and insert the shift rail in the cover.

Position the first-second gear shift fork (43) in the cover with the fork offset facing the rear of the cover. Insert the shift rail through the fork.

NOTE: The first-second gear shift fork is the larger of the two forks.

Position the selector arm (45) and C-shaped interlock plate (46) in the cover and insert the shift rail through the arm. The widest part of the interlock plate must face away from the cover and the selector arm roll pin hole must face downward and toward the rear of the cover.

Position the third-fourth gear shift fork (43) in the cover with the fork offset facing the rear of the cover. The third-fourth gear shift fork selector arm plate (44) must be positioned under the first-second gear shift fork selector arm plate.

Insert the shift rail through the third-fourth gear shift fork (43) and into the shift rail front bore in the cover.

Rotate the shift rail until the selector arm plate at the forward end of the rail faces away from (but parallel with) the cover.

Align the roll pin holes in the selector arm (45) and shift rail and install the roll pin. Ensure that the roll pin is flush with the surface of the selector arm to prevent the pin from contacting the selector arm plates during shifts.

Install the 0-ring (48) in the groove in the shift rail oil seal.

Install the shift rail oil seal (47) according to the following procedure:





^ position Oil Seal Protector Tool J-266?8-2 over the threaded end of the shift rail

^ lubricate the oil seal lip with petroleum jelly and slide the seal over the protector and onto the shift rail

^ seat the oil seal in the transmission cover with Oil Seal Installation Tool J-26628-1
