Disconnect the primary and secondary shafts.

How to disassemble and assemble a Gazelle gearbox

Remove the IV gear synchronizer and take out 14 rollers of the front support of the secondary shaft.

Gears, synchronizers and other parts located on the primary and secondary shafts are similar to each other, therefore, to facilitate subsequent assembly, they should be carefully laid out in the order of removal.

We remove two cuffs from the rear crankcase extension (information on the first page)

Before assembly, check the condition of the gearbox parts.

Cracks of any shape and length are not allowed on crankcase parts.

The bearing housings, shift rod holes, and the steel-babbit bushing of the rear crankcase extension must be smooth and free of nicks, nicks, or noticeable wear.

The bearings should fit into the sockets tightly, by hand force or by light tapping through the spacer.

Crankcase gaskets must be intact, without breaks, delaminations and breaks.

We check the shafts, axles and rods for the absence of cracks, noticeable signs of wear, scuffing and metal enveloping.

This also applies to the splined parts of the shafts, the mating parts should move easily on the shafts, without noticeable backlash and jamming.

Remove minor traces of scuffing, as well as possible corrosion (on splines), with a velvet file, very fine sandpaper, and polish the shaft necks with thin GOI paste or diamond paste.

On the teeth of gears and synchronizer couplings, chips, signs of seizing and chipping are not allowed, on the cones of synchronizers there should also be no signs of seizing, severe wear and enveloping of bronze on steel.

Ball and roller bearings must be in perfect condition.

Their rotation should be easy, without jamming, clicking, play and vibration.

Fatigue chipping (pitting), noticeable wear and chips are not allowed on the raceways, balls and rollers (needles).

The cages of ball bearings must not touch the rings, have cracks and breaks.

In general, after a run of about 100 thousand km, it is better to replace ball bearings, regardless of their condition.

We also replace the cuffs of the sliding fork of the propeller shaft and the cuff of the input shaft, regardless of their condition.

Before assembling, we thoroughly wash all parts in kerosene or diesel fuel, degrease the crankcase threaded holes with acetone or a solvent for nitro-paints.

We cover the rubbing surfaces of the gearshift mechanism, the steel-babbit bushing, cuffs and splines of the secondary shaft with SHRUS-4 grease, the rest with gear oil.

The bearings and their seats should also be lubricated with gear oil before assembly.

Assemble the box in reverse order.

To ensure the assembly of full complement bearings, their rollers are abundantly coated with any grease.

When assembling, we install all the shafts in the rear gearbox housing at the same time. To facilitate this operation, the shafts can be tied with a cord.

ATTENTION The thickness of the gasket between the gearbox housings determines the amount of axial clearance in the intermediate shaft bearings.

Therefore, setting pour it necessarily, lubricating for reliability with a thin layer of sealant.

Sealant should also be lubricated with all other cardboard gearbox gaskets.

The bolts connecting the crankcase parts should be degreased and the threads coated with sealant during assembly.

After installing the unit on the car, do not forget to fill the box with 1.2 liters of gear oil (to the level of the filler hole).
