Adjusting the selector finger and guide collar Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Tool for adjusting the guide collar -U-40201-

t  Universal tester stand -T20020- The selector finger and guide collar must only be adjusted when one or more of these components has been replaced: l  Selector finger l  Guide collar l  Selecting bar l  Clutch casing l  Gearbox casing –  Loosen the screw -1- and separate the slider -A- on tool -U-40201-. –  Measure the diameter of the round head of the selector finger on the gearbox.

–  On the slider -A-, attach the round head -B- that has the same diameter as the round head of the selector finger and secure it with the screw -1- without tightening it up.

–  Set tool -U-40201- over the gearbox casing and secure it with two screws -A-.   Note! Remove the slider -A- on tool -U-40201- beforehand. Use the hexagonal screws that secure both casings.

–  Set tool -T20020- with a tester on top of tool -U-40201-. Put the end of the tester on the reverse gear drag link with a pretension of 1mm. –  Push the reverse gear drag link in the direction of the arrow and adjust the tester to “0”. –  Push the reverse gear drag link in the opposite direction and note the reading in the tester (example: 0.70 mm). –  Calculate the mean value for the range of displacement of the reverse gear drag link by dividing the value of the previous measurement by two: Mean value = 0,70 mm 2 = 0,35 mm –  Secure the reverse gear drag link with the screw -2- in the position of the value obtained beforehand (in this case, 0.35mm).

–  Using the tool hook -C-, move the selector finger towards the inside of the reverse gear ring. –  In this position, put the slider -A- with the corresponding round head in the tool. Thread the screw -1- without tightening it.

–  Set tool -T20020- with a tester on top of tool -U-40201-. Put the end of the tester on one side of the round head -B-, with a pretension of 1mm. –  Move the round head to one side and adjust the tester to “0”. –  Move the round in the opposite direction again and note the reading in the tester (example: 0.60 mm). –  Calculate the mean value for the range of displacement of the selector finger by dividing the value of the previous measurement by two: Mean value = 0,60 mm 2 = 0,30 mm –  Secure the slider with the screw -1- in the position of the value obtained previously (in this case, 0.30 mm). –  Remove the tool -U-40201- from the gearbox casing.   Note! Do not alter the position of the components of tool -U-40201-. This would give the wrong adjustment for the selector finger and guide collar.

–  Loosen the screw -1- that secures the bush on the clutch casing until this moves smoothly on the selector shaft. –  Place the selector shaft in the central slot -2-. –  Check that the centering sleeves -A- and -B- are correctly placed in the clutch casing.

–  Remove tool -U-40201-, turn it 180° and mount it on the clutch casing. t  The tool -U-40201- must fit perfectly into the centering sleeves in the clutch casing. t  The round head of the slider -A- must fit correctly in the guide collar. –  With all of the elements inserted properly, tighten the screw -arrow- securing the guide collar to the selector shaft. t  Tightening torque: 35 Nm –  Remove the tool from the clutch casing.
