Panel bonding has not started as I got side tracked on another ski condo in Brian Head, UT. However had everything to get OC4 completed. Could not set pinion shaft preload at 8-10 inch pounds and get 3/1000th on 4th pinion gear. Pull apart 3-4 times and finally discovered the wear. The 4th gear spins on the pinion and is not on the 10 spline.
There was 17/1000th play when oil washer was set and could not get the spec. Off to the machine shop for a little metal surgery.
Took off 20/1000th, checked 4th pinion gear and ready to reassemble.
Reset all bottom pinion assembly of gears and checked one last before setting shims behind oil washer to get 3/1000th.
Took 17/1000th of shims and 3 try’s to get spec clearance and 8-10 inch pounds.
Tight to get dial indicator in but well worth the head ache of this gear box. What a learning curve.
Bottom end 4 speed gear box is complete.
