Well I'm putting this gearbox back together, and it's like I've never
done it before, which ain't the case.
After testing everything out I silicone the bellhousing, put it in place,
and tighten the four bolts. Mainshaft and layshaft locked. Crap.
Fiddle around and then realize I need to pull the bellhousing. Pull it,
wipe off all silicone.
I make sure the layshaft's seated properly, put the bellhousing back on
(this time w/o silicone!) and tighten the bolts. Same thing. Layshaft's
binding. The only thing that's changed in that dept. since I last had
this 'box together is the front layshaft bearing, which I had a friendly
shop press in.
THE QUESTION:
It looks like the front layshaft bearing can be in a range of positions
in the bellhousing--it's just between those two retainer plates, but on
mine there appears to be a little space between the front of the outer
race and the the front part of the "retainer sandwich." Should I try to
move the bearing forward?
Should I grind down (emery cloth on glass) the conical washer behind the
layshaft bearing?
comments greatly appreciated.
