General instructions for repairing the gearbox
General instructions for repairing the gearbox
In order to repair the gearbox successfully, it is essential to work under maximum conditions of cleanliness and care as possible. Additionally, all tools used should be in excellent working order. When carrying out repairs, all basic safety standards must be followed.
What follows is a summary of a number of general guidelines for certain repair operations, which would otherwise appear several times in many sections of this Repairs Manual. Therefore, these guidelines are valid and must be taken into account for this Repairs Manual.
Gearbox
t  Before assembling the gearbox in the engine, make sure that the centring sleeves arranged between the engine and the gearbox are in proper condition and fit correctly.
t  In the event of replacing the gearbox, fill it with oil up to the lower edge of the filling hole. Amounts for filling and type of oil → Chapter.
Seals
t  Always replace the O-ring seals.
t  Before applying sealing products (sealing liquid), clean the contact surfaces well and apply -AMV 188 200 03- sealing paste.
Retainers
   
t  Before they are fitted, cover them lightly with oil for gears on the outer diameter and fill the space between the watertight lips with grease.
t  Once the retainers have been assembled, check the oil level for the gearbox and fill up if necessary.
Safety rings
t  Always replace the safety rings; try not to stretch them out of shape when putting them into place.
  N32-0001
t  The safety rings must fit perfectly into the bottom of the insertion slot.
t  Always replace the elastic guide pins.
t  When assembling the plastic guide pins, their slot must be positioned longitudinally with respect to the direction of the drive, as shown in the figure.
Bolts and nuts
t  Always loosen and tighten the bolts and nuts in a cross-shape for attaching covers and casings.
t  With delicate parts, such as, for example, the clutch press, do not tilt them and carry out the operation gradually.
t  Self-locking bolts and nuts must always be replaced
Bearings
t  When new conical bearings are assembled, they shall be assembled as they arrive, without greasing.
t  The needle bearings must be assembled with the thickest side of the plate facing towards the assembly axle-tool.
t  All the bearings for the gearbox must be put into place slightly oiled for the gears. Take special care when oiling them for the friction torque measurements.
t  The bearings belonging to the same shaft must be replaced together. Use parts from the same manufacturer as far as possible.
t  For putting the bearings into place, they must first be heated to a temperature of approximately 100 °C. Use the electrical blower -SAT 1416- and the digital thermometer -SAT 4002- to check the temperature.
t  Do not confuse or exchange the outer tracks for the bearings of the same size; the bearings come in pairs.
Adjustment washers
t  Before assembling the adjustment washers, their thickness must be checked by measuring them with a micrometer at several points on their surface
t  The presence of washers with different tolerances allows the precise thickness of the washer that is needed to be achieved.
t  The washers must not have rough edges or defects.
t  Assemble only adjustment washers that are in perfect condition.
Synchronising rings
t  Do not mix synchronising rings together with different gears. If they must be used again, place them in the same gear as before.
t  Check them for wear and replace them if necessary.
t  For their assembly, cover them with oil for gears.
Gears
t  Before assembling them, clean them very carefully. They must first be heated to a temperature of approximately 100 °C. Use the electrical blower -SAT 1416- and the digital thermometer -SAT 4002- to check the temperature.
Oils
t  New gearbox code letters have been introduced, with a new mineral gear oil -API GL4 SAE 75W- according to standard TL 726 /Y (hypoid oil) This type of oil must only be used in the specified gearboxes and never in those that used the former oil -API GL4 SAE 75W90- according to standard TL 521 57 (synthetic oil)
t  Oils with different denominations and standards should never be mixed as this modifies the properties of the lubricants
