When the toothed washers [28] [29] are assembled onto
the output shaft, note the following.
When the tangs [A] of the toothed washer [29] shall be

of the toothed washer [28].
Fit the steel balls into the 5th gear holes in the output

Output Shaft [B]
Steel Balls [C]
CAUTION
Do not apply grease to the balls to hold them in
place. This will cause the positive neutral finder
mechanism to malfunction.
After assembling the 5th gear with steel balls in place on
the output shaft, check the ball-locking effect that the 5th
gear doesn’t come out of the output shaft when moving it
up and down by hand.
Check that each gear spins or slides freely on the trans-
mission shafts without binding after assembly.
