 |This is a mock setup for checking countershaft endplay. The bent wire is used to push and pull on the countershaft. You can read the endplay directly from the dial \\ indicator which is mounted on the alloy spacer with the bolt through it. The bolt screws into the bottom tranny case mount hole on the left case half with the tranny \\ sitting correctly in the engine.||| |This is a mock setup for checking countershaft endplay.

     * They are two different size bearings so each end of the drift is different. The one for the trapdoor end includes a step on it the right thickness to locate the bearing the correct amount in from the surface, as specified in the manual.     * They are two different size bearings so each end of the drift is different.

     * Like all bearings, they can be changed cold but all you are doing is tearing the hell out of the aluminium and setting it up for the bearing to spin the housing due to the resulting loose fit, specially if the job has been done once or twice before.     * Like all bearings, they can be changed cold but all you are doing is tearing the hell out of the aluminium and setting it up for the bearing to spin the housing due to the resulting loose fit, specially if the job has been done once or twice before.
