Ok so ive fitted the primary drive gear and checked the end float....Oopps!! 0.014. That's a bit on the big side!!

So I measured the primary drive thrust washer and it's 0.112..

So if the end float is 0.010 to big then I need a primary thrust at 0.120 to take up the slack..(Internet shopping)

Thats better!



So I fitted the new thrust washer with the heavily champhered side towards the block..

Next on goes the primary drive gear..

After it was built up again it was a tiny bit on the tight side so I gave the C washer a rub over some 2000grit wet and dry..



Posted Image



Then I fitted it all up again and measured with the feelers...A snug fit!!



Posted Image



But the resistance is not to tight and the end float is now spot on at 0.004..



Posted Image



So with that all sorted I looked out the bolts that hold the gearbox to the block and ran them through the threads..
