Transmission modifications

Reverse gear

Beginning with transmission date 20 08 0, the reverse gear teeth on the main shaft and those of the reverse gear have been lengthened as follows:

^ dimension a = current: 54.50 mm
New: 56.50 mm





^ dimension a = current: 18.3 mm
New: 19.7 mm

Note

The new mainshaft can be installed in earlier transmissions (before 20 08 0) but the needle bearing must be installed 2.0 mm deeper (see Mainshaft needle bearing installation on this page).





Main shaft needle bearing installation

Beginning with transmission date 20 08 0, the main shaft needle bearing in the final drive housing is installed 2.0 mm deeper.

^ dimension a = current: 214 mm
New: 216 mm





The final drive housing is slightly milled-out in the reverse gear area (arrow).

Note

The new reverse gear can only be installed in transmissions that have the revised housing and main shaft.





Tensioning cable mounting

Beginning with transmission date 20 08 0, the tensioning cable mount on the transmission was changed.

^ dimension a = current: 23.5 mm
New: 31.5 mm

Beginning in 9/90 a mounting hole in the housing replaces the previously used mounting stud (arrow). The tensioning cable bracket is then provided with a mounting stud.

Note

Change the cable bracket when installing a new transmission.
