Disassembly and assembly of the input shaft, secondary shaft, differential and synchronizer will be discussed in the article - “Repair of the primary and secondary shafts, differential and gearbox synchronizer.”
Assembling the gearbox
To check the technical condition of the gearbox parts, we thoroughly clean and rinse them. The surfaces of the housings for bearings and rods must not be damaged.
Damage is not allowed on the threaded part of the shafts, on the splines and surfaces of the shafts for gears and bearings.
The seating surfaces of the gears should be free of burrs and signs of wear. No chipping or excessive wear of gear teeth is allowed.
Ball and roller bearings must not have damage to the raceways, cages, balls and rollers, as well as cracks and chips on the rings.
The rotation of the bearing rings must be smooth, without jamming. We replace damaged bearings with new ones. Deformation of the rods and gear forks is not allowed.
The working surfaces of the forks in contact with the grooves of the sliding clutches of the synchronizers should not have excessive wear.
The rods in the crankcase holes must move freely, without jamming.
Assemble the gearbox in reverse order.
When assembling the differential, lubricate the satellites and drive gears with transmission oil.
We mount the differential bearings with preload.
The tension is ensured by selecting the thickness of the adjusting ring installed in the gearbox housing housing under the outer ring of the differential bearing.
Selection of the thickness of the adjusting ring is necessary if replacing one of the following parts: differential box, differential bearing, clutch housings and gearbox.
The differential bearing preload should be 0.25 mm.
To ensure this tension, it is necessary to select the correct thickness of the adjusting ring.
When selecting an adjusting ring, you will need: an adjusting ring 1.25 mm thick, a stand with a dial indicator, a mandrel.
Insert the installation ring into the socket of the gearbox housing and press in the outer ring of the differential bearing using a mandrel of a suitable diameter.
In the same way, press the outer ring of the differential bearing into the clutch housing.
We install the differential into the gearbox housing, after which we install the clutch housing and tighten the housings with nuts (at least three equally spaced).
Rotate the differential several turns to self-install the bearings.
We install a mandrel (in the form of a plug) on the end of the differential, and a stand with an indicator on the clutch housing, so that the leg rests against the mandrel, and create a tension on the indicator of 1 mm.
Move the differential up and take indicator readings.
The thickness of the adjusting ring is calculated using the formula:
S=A+B+C
- where S is the thickness of the adjusting ring, A is the amount of axial movement of the differential, B is the amount of preload of the differential bearings, C is the thickness of the adjusting ring (1.25 mm).
After determining the thickness of the adjusting ring, disconnect the gearbox and clutch housings, remove the differential, press out the outer bearing ring from the gearbox housing and replace the adjusting ring with the selected adjusting ring.
Spare parts include adjusting rings with a thickness from 1.65 mm to 2.65 mm, in increments of 0.05 mm.
After installing the differential in the clutch housing, it is necessary to secure one of the wheel drive gears with a mandrel (plug) so that they do not move from their seats during further assembly.
When assembling the gear switch and the hinge of the switch rod with the rod, first degrease the threaded holes in the hinge body and switch, as well as the conical screws securing them.
Before screwing, apply thread sealant to the threads of the screws.
Roller bearing outer rings We press into the shafts, oil seals of the input shaft, drives and gear selector rod using mandrels or suitable pipe sections. Apply a thin layer of transmission oil to the working edges of the oil seals.
If the wheel drive oil seals have oil drainage notches, then install an oil seal with a right notch in the clutch housing (for right-hand drive), and an oil seal with a left notch in the gearbox housing (for left-hand drive).
The arrows on the oil seal housings must coincide with the direction of rotation of the drives when the vehicle moves forward.
When assembling the secondary shaft, lubricate the parts with transmission oil. We replace the locking rings of the synchronizer hubs with new ones.
We press the synchronizer hubs, the inner ring of the roller bearing, the ball bearing and the drive gear of the main gear onto the shaft using mandrels or suitable pipe sections.
After assembling the secondary shaft, we check the operation of the synchronizers, for which we manually move the synchronizer clutches to the position of engaging the corresponding gears.
Press the inner ring of the roller bearing and the ball bearing onto the input shaft.
Before installing the shafts, we engage the gear teeth of both shafts and in this position install the shafts into the clutch housing.
Before assembling the gearbox housing with the clutch housing and the rear cover, apply a thin layer of sealant around the perimeter of the mating surfaces.
