Vauxhall Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

Further Assembly - F 10, F 13 and F 16

(5-speed manual transmission up to MY 88 ½)

By hand carefully insert or slip transmission

turbine shaft into splines of clutch disc and gear cluster (splines of both shafts must be seated in corresponding tooth gaps of clutch disc and gear cluster).

Illus. C 0037 shows centering after installation of clutch disc.

       Observe paint marks made on turbine shaft and gear cluster during removal.

Screw fillister head screw into transmission turbine shaft and press shaft into gear cluster as far as stop using KM-564.

On 4-speed manual transmission, use 3 spacer sleeves A (illus. B 8231).

Secure turbine shaft with snap ring.

       Use new snap ring.

Install screw cover oil-tight into bearing cover with Sealing Compound 15 03 166 (90 094 714) or PVC tape - 50 Nm/36.88 lbf. ft.

       After cover has been screwed tight, distance between front of plate and surface of end shield must not exceed 4 mm/0.16 in., in order to obtain a certain sealing screw depth.

Install reversing lamp switch - 20 Nm/14.75 lbf. ft.

Bolt shift mechanism cover to main case - 22 Nm/16.23 lbf. ft.

       Stick seal onto main case with Antifriction Bearing Grease 19 41 574 (90 001 812).

Adjust transmission shift linkage (see operation in this group).

Fill transmission fluid in opening for bleed plug.

Fluid level = lower edge of inspection aperture.

Further Assembly F 20 Manual Transmission

and all 5-speed Manual Transmissions as of

MY 88 ½

By hand carefully insert or slip transmission

turbine shaft into splines of clutch disc and gear cluster (splines of both shafts must be seated in corresponding tooth gaps of clutch disc and gear cluster).

       Observe paint marks made on turbine shaft and gear cluster during removal.

Screw fillister head screw into transmission turbine shaft and press shaft into gear cluster as far as stop using KM-564.

Secure turbine shaft with snap ring.

       Use new snap ring.

Bolt transmission cover to end shield.

  Prescribed torque:  M 7 x 1.0 = 15 Nm/11.06 lbf. ft.

                                 M 8 x 1.25 = 20 Nm/14.75 lbf. ft.

Install reversing lamp switch - 20 Nm/14.75 lbf. ft.

Bolt shift mechanism cover to main case - 22 Nm/16.23 lbf. ft.

       Stick gasket onto main case with Antifriction Bearing Grease 19 41 574 (90 001 812).

Adjust transmission shift linkage (see operation in this group).

Check transmission fluid and top up.

Transmission fluid is filled through opening for bleeder screw plug in shift cover.

Fluid level = lower edge of inspection aperture (except in F 20)

In F 20

In order to check the fluid level, construct an ad hoc tool (e.g. out of welding rod) as in diagram.

Fluid level = 5 mm/0.2 in. below inspection aperture Inspection aperture on F 20 manual transmission, R.H. rear looking in direction of travel.
