13f. Check the shift collar and fork for wear.
13g. Check shift collar teeth and splines for wear or
damage. See Figure 6.96.
14. Check the interior of the transaxle housings.
14a. If there is heavy gear-tooth damage on the ring
gear of bevel gears, there is likely to be large
debris in the grease. Dispose of the grease if
the transaxle is to be rebuilt.
14b. If there is heavy wear on any of the contact sur-
faces, there is likely to be small particles of
metal in the grease. Dispose of the grease if the
transaxle is to be rebuilt.
14c. If the grease is obviously contaminated with
water or other substances, dispose of the
grease if the transaxle is to be rebuilt.
14d. If the transaxle is being warranted, leave the
grease and debris in place, after the root cause
of the failure is identified.
14e. If the transaxle is repaired, the damage is iso-
lated, and the grease is not contaminated with
anything, it is acceptable to re-use the grease.
See Figure 6.97.
15. Inspect the pinion gear and input shaft assembly. See
Figure 6.98.
15a. The pinion gear teeth should not show signs of
heavy wear or damage.
15b. The input shaft should have 0.015”-0.020”
(0.38-0.51mm) end-play, and 0.002”-0.010”
run-out.
