E350 MANUAL TRANSAXLE: INPUT SHAFT: REMOVAL

REMOVAL





1. INSPECT 4TH GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a feeler gauge, measure the thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.10 to 0.57 mm (0.0039 to 0.0224 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the No. 2 transmission clutch hub, 4th gear or input shaft rear radial ball bearing.






2. INSPECT 3RD GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.10 to 0.35 mm (0.0039 to 0.0138 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the No. 2 transmission clutch hub, 3rd gear or input shaft.






3. INSPECT 4TH GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the radial clearance.
Standard clearance:





If the clearance is out of specification, replace the 4th gear, needle roller bearing or input shaft.






4. INSPECT 3RD GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:





If the clearance is out of specification, replace the 3rd gear, needle roller bearing or input shaft.
5. REMOVE 4TH GEAR





(a) Hold the input shaft assembly in a vise with soft jaws.
(b) Using 2 screwdrivers and a hammer, tap out the input shaft rear bearing shaft snap ring from the input shaft.
HINT: Cover with a shop rag to keep the snap ring from flying off.





(c) Using SST and a press, press out the input shaft rear bearing and 4th gear.
SST: 09950-00020
NOTE: Do not overtighten the SST.





6. REMOVE 4TH GEAR NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING
(a) Remove the needle roller bearing from the input shaft.






7. REMOVE 2ND SYNCHRONIZER OUTER RING
(a) Remove the 2nd synchronizer outer ring (No. 4 synchronizer ring) from the No. 2 transmission clutch hub.






8. REMOVE 4TH GEAR BUSH
(a) Remove the 4th gear bush from the No. 2 transmission clutch hub.
9. REMOVE 3RD GEAR





(a) Using 2 screwdrivers and a hammer, remove the No. 2 clutch hub setting shaft snap ring from the input shaft.
HINT: Cover with a shop rag to keep the snap ring from flying off.





(b) Using SST and a press, remove the No. 2 transmission clutch hub and 3rd gear from the input shaft.
SST: 09950-00020
NOTE: Do not overtighten the SST.





10. REMOVE 3RD GEAR NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING
(a) Remove the needle roller bearing from the input shaft.






11. REMOVE NO. 3 SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Remove the No. 3 synchronizer ring from the 3rd gear.






12. REMOVE NO. 2 TRANSMISSION HUB SLEEVE
(a) Remove the No. 2 transmission hub sleeve, 3 No. 2 synchromesh shifting keys and 3 No. 2 synchromesh shifting key springs from the No. 2 transmission clutch hub.
HINT: Cover with a shop rag to keep the shifting key and shifting key spring from flying off.





13. REMOVE INPUT SHAFT FRONT BEARING
