TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove control housing, reverse check ball and spring. Remove shift restrict spring plugs, springs and plungers. Use pin punch to remove shift arm retaining roll pin. Remove shift arm. Using plastic hammer, remove extension housing (2WD) or transfer case adapter (4WD). Remove front bearing retainer. Remove countershaft front bearing shim and mainshaft bearing snap ring.
2. Separate transmission case from intermediate plate. Install mounting Adapter Plate (ST23810001) to intermediate plate. Remove shift rod from intermediate plate. Remove all check ball plugs, springs and check balls from intermediate plate.
3. Drive out all retaining roll pins from shift forks. Remove fork rods and interlock balls. Remove lever bracket securing bolt (if equipped). Remove 3rd/4th fork rod. Remove "E" ring from overdrive fork rod. Remove overdrive fork shaft by rotating overdrive/reverse bracket counterclockwise.
4. Measure thrust clearance of each gear.
For specifications, see mainshaft gear thrust clearance table. If thrust clearances are not within specifications, check condition of gears, bushings, washers, shaft and/or synchro hub for wear or damage during disassembly.
