TRANSMISSION AND INTERNAL SHIFT MECHANISM

TRANSMISSION OPERATIONThe basic transmission has 5 pairs of constantly meshed gears on the main shaft (A, Figure 1) and countershaft (B, Figure 1). Each pair of meshed gears gives one gear ratio. In each pair, one of the gears is locked to its shaft and always turns with it. The other gear is not locked to its shaft and can spin freely on it.Next to each free spinning gear is a third gear which is splined to the same shaft, always turning with it. This third gear can slide from side to side along the shaft splines.The side of the sliding gear and the free spinning gear have mating “dogs” (Figure 2 and “slots” (Figure 3). When the sliding gear moves up against the free spinning gear, the 2 gears are locked together, locking the free spinning gear to its shaft.Since both meshed main shaft and countershaft gears are now locked to their shafts, power is transmitted at that gear ratio.
TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL: REMOVAL/INSTALLATIONRemove and install the transmission and internal shift mechanism as described under Crankcase Disassembly and Crankcase Assembly in Chapter Five.
