Assemble Rotor Transmission

1. Clean and inspect transmission parts as follows:

a. Wash all bearings in clean solvent. Check balls, rolls and races for pits and spalled areas. Check bearing shields for damage. Replace bearings which are pitted, spalled or damaged.

b. Lubricate bearings and check for axial and radial clearances. Replace bearings that have excessive clearances.

c. Check fits of bearings in the case bores. If outer races turn freely in the bores, the case should be replaced.

d. Check operating gear teeth for pitting on the tooth faces. Gears with pitted teeth should be replaced.

e. Check all engaging gear teeth both internal and external. Gears with teeth worn, tapered or reduced in length from clashing in shifting should be replaced.

f. Check radial clearance of bushed gear. If excessive radial clearance is found, replace the bushing.

g. Check splines on all shafts for wear. If sliding gears or companion flanges have worn into the slides of the splines, the shafts or gears in this condition should be replaced.

h. Check surfaces of washers. Washers scored or reduced in thickness should be replaced.

i. Check yoke for alignment; straighten if sprung.

j. Check lockscrew in yoke; tighten and rewire if found loose.

k. Check neutral notches of shifting bar for wear from tension spring ball.

l. Check covers for wear from thrust of adjacent bearing. Replace covers worn and grooved from thrust of bearing outer race.

m. Check lip of seals for wear, cracks or breaks. Check tension of lip on sealed surface. Replace seals in which lip is damaged or in which lack of tension has destroyed the wiping action of the lip.
