Assembling M47, M47 II





Assembling main shaft
1. Assemble both synchronizers. Place hub in operating sleeve. 3rd-4th gear synchronizer: Three recesses in hub should align with three bevelled teeth in operating sleeve.





2. Install sliding keys (1) and springs (2).
- Lock sliding keys ("dogs") with springs. Hook both springs to the same sliding key.
- Install one spring counter-clockwise. Turn synchronizer over and install second spring, also counter-clockwise.
- If spring is bent, free end must point away from hub.





3. Oil main shaft. Install 3rd gear wheel and synchronizer ring. Press on 3rd-4th gear synchronizer hub.
- Make sure synchronizer ring is facing correct way.
- Turn wear surface on synchronizer hub UP. Use support P/N 2852.





Invert Shaft
4. Oil shaft. Install 2nd gear wheel and synchronizer ring. Press on 1st-2nd gear synchronizer hub. Make sure synchronizer ring is fitted correctly. Use support P/N 2852.
5. Install lock rings for both synchronizers





Transmission Without Damper (step 6):
6. Install synchronizer ring and gear wheel for 1st gear and thrust washer.





Transmission With Damper (steps 8-9):
7. Install thrust washer (1) if applicable, synchronizer ring (2) and 1st gear wheel (3).

8. Assemble damper. Oil parts. Position springs in brake ring and twist washer into brake ring.

9. Press damper (4) on main shaft. Use a file to remove sharp edges. Use P/N 5090 to press on damper.





10. Press rear bearing on countershaft. Use drift P/N 2413.





11. Press bearing on input shaft. Use standard handle P/N 1801 and support P/N 2853.
12. Install lock ring on input shaft.

Installing Shafts

NOTE: Apply assembly paste to aluminium surfaces prior to installing bearings and shafts. P/N 1161 006-9 Aerosol, P/N 1161 078-9 Can.





13. Position reverse gear shift fork. Install lock ring.
14. Install reverse gear and shaft.





15. Check/adjust position of reverse gear. Shaft end should be flush with housing or max. 0.05 mm (0.002 in) below housing face.
16. Check/adjust clearance between reverse gear wheel and shift fork. Adjust by tapping shift fork bearing stud, with a drift. Correct clearance: 0.1-1.0 mm (0.004-0.040 in).

NOTE: M 47: proceed to operation 22. Operations 17 to 21 only apply to M 47 II.





Assembling 5th gear Synchronizer and Gear Wheel
17. Fit retainer to 5th gear synchronizer hub. Use drift P/N 2413. First position spring counter-clockwise in hub.

NOTE: When installing the retainer, ensure raised portion of retainer is flush with the inner raised portion of the hub. If the retainer is pressed too far onto the hub the synchronizer dogs (tangs) will cause the synchronizer ring to drag against the gear after assembly. This will make it difficult to correctly shim the countershaft.

18. Assemble hub and operating sleeve. Three recesses in hub should align with three bevelled teeth in operating sleeve. Hub washer and bevelled part of operating sleeve should face same direction.





19. Install sliding keys (1) and spring (2). The two springs should hook on to the same sliding key. Position spring counter-clockwise as shown in illustration.





20. Assemble shaft, needle bearing, gear wheel and synchronizer. Bevelled edge of sleeve should face gear wheel. Install nut finger tight.





21. Torque nut. Clamp a 42 mm box-end wrench in a vice. Place nut in box-end wrench. Use shaft P/N 5986 and torque wrench. Torque to 120 Nm (88 ft lb).

NOTE:
^ During tightening, torque should be 40-80 Nm (30-60 ft lb). If below, replace nut.

^ After tightening the attaching nut to the correct torque specification, ensure that the 5th gear spins freely on the shaft. Use a new nut to retain the assembly. This will eliminate the need to check the torque during the tightening process.





22. Place countershaft in bottom of housing.
23. Place main shaft in housing. First turn housing.





Installing Rear Bearing On Main Shaft
24. Position bearing with lock ring on main shaft. Countershaft should lie in bearing recesses.

5306 Press Tool:





25. Press main shaft bearing into position. Use press tool P/N 5306.

CAUTION: Take care not to damage gear teeth when pressing bearing into position.

26. Make sure bearing lock ring abuts housing. If necessary, tap press tool with a mallet until bearing seats correctly.





27. Install rear countershaft bearing race using drift tool P/N 2413.

NOTE: Top of race must be above. Race will take correct position when cage is installed.





Determining Thickness Of Main Shaft Shims
Main shaft end float should be 0.01-0.20 mm (0.0004-0.0080 in). If main shaft bearing or bearing holder has been replaced, shim thickness should be determined.

28. Measure distance between outer face of main shaft bearing and rear face of transmission housing. Use depth micrometer and note reading.





29. Measure distance between bearing holder contact face and bearing seat bottom. Note reading.








30. Calculate thickness of shims for main shaft.





31. Install bearing holder. Torque to 15-25 Nm (11-20 ft lb). Tap bearing holder to seat bearing races.

NOTE: Do not interchange short bolts with long cover bolts.





32. Transmissions with damper: Check torque for output shaft. Use torque gauge P/N 9177 and hold 1st gear wheel by hand. Correct torque: 0.8-2.5 Nm (7-22 in lb).

NOTE: M 47 II: Proceed to operation 37. Operations 33 to 36 only refer to M 47.

Installing 5th Gear Synchronizer Hub
33. Calculating shim thickness. Adjust bearing position to obtain a clearance of max 0.20 mm (0.008 in) to lock ring.





34. Install original shim, as applicable.
35. Install lock ring.





36. Measure clearance between lock ring and hub. If clearance exceeds 0.20 mm (0.008 in), remove hut and install shim.





Example

NOTE: Proceed to operation 38. Operation 37 only applies to M 47 II.





Installing 5th Gear Wheel
37. Press on spacer washer, 5th gear wheel and bearing race. Use press tool P/N 5306 with thrust washer as support.
