15) Apply a small amount of RTV to the back face of the housing. Insert the
aluminum housing/shift rails through the case. The rails should be worked
through the forks as this is done. A small amount of oil in the bores on the
forks and on the outside of the rails will help them slide together (Fig.15).

16) Bolt the housing in place. Install the 2 set screws into the forks using
Loctite (Fig.16). You will need to verify shaft endplay at this point. Endplay
should be 0.000" on the front output shaft. Do not put excessive preload on
the bearing. (-0.0005" preload is acceptable) If endplay must be adjusted,
add or delete shims as noted in step 12. Once proper endplay is verified,
remove the bearing plate (from step 12), apply sealant, and reinstall. Install
the front output shaft seal, rubber star washer, yoke, and nut. Torque to 180
ft-lb.
