TRANSMISSION
(3). Using soft bar stock with a diameter
smaller than that of the yoke shaft and
pressing against the exposed end of the
shaft, press the shaft out of the tower.
WARNING: Do not look directly into the tower
during step (4). During this step a
spring-loaded detent ball is re-
leased.
(4). Cover the detent ball hole with a cloth
and wrap the cloth around the yoke shaft.
Extract the drift.
NOTE: The detent ball and spring are trapped
in the yoke by the bar stock when the
split line between shaft and bar passes
over them.
c. Remove the shifter crank only if necessary
and as follows:

end of the output, push on the bearing to force
it and the shaft into the case.
(2). Unscrew the plug in the apex of the shift
tower. Using a hammer and drift, drive out

push the output shaft into the case.
This, however, increases the possibility
of pushing the shaft through the large
gear and allowing the needle bearings
to drop into the case.
f. Lift the output end of the shaft out the
top of the case (see figure 7-59). Grasping the
end of the shaft, lift the gear and output shaft
assembly out of the case.
NOTE: In step f, do not lift the assembly by
the large gear. Doing so will pull the
gear off the shaft and allow the bearing
to drop into the case.

(4). Pry the shaft seal out only if necessary
(see figure 7-58).
d. Push on the front end of the countershaft
until the bearing and gear are out of the case.
Allow the assembly to rest on the bottom of
the case.
