Description and Operation

Location of components

All gear wheels are helical toothed and are constantly engaged

Both 1st and 2nd gear as well as 3rd and 4th gear are triple synchronised.

5th, 6th and reverse gear have double synchronisation.

The gear wheels for 1st and 2nd gear are an integral part of the input shaft. The gearwheels for 3rd and 5th gears and the gearwheel for 4th/6th gear are pressed on.

Because of the high force used to press on the components, the gear wheels cannot be pressed off in service. A faulty input shaft can only be replaced as a complete unit.

Defective bearings can be pressed off and changed.

The output pinion of the 1st/4th gear output shaft is an integral part of the shaft.

The synchroniser assemblies of the 1st/2nd and the 3rd/4th gears are located on the output shaft.

The 1st to 4th gear output shaft is a hollow shaft; the oil is supplied to the internal oilways via oil funnels.

Internal oilways provide lubrication to the needle roller bearings and the synchroniser assemblies.

All driving gear wheels of the transmission are located on the input shaft.

The input shaft is designed as a solid shaft and runs on one ball bearing and one roller bearing with no pre-load.

The two output shafts and the differential both run on taper roller bearings; this means a bearing pre-load is necessary.

Please refer to the service literature for further information on how to measure the pre-loads.
