ATLAS 2 SPEED REBUILD KITS
Without disturbing the synchro assembly, guide the output shaft through the front of the case, and through the pancake
gear. Pay attention to the caged needle bearing inside the pancake. It will get pushed out slightly, so you will need
to take your other hand and guide it through. THE FOLLOWING PORTION OF THIS STEP IS VERY
IMPORTANT! When guiding the shaft fully into the pancake, you must rotate the shaft until the notches of the brass
synchro ring engage the three dogs. Remember from the previous steps that you "stuck" the brass ring to the pancake.
As soon as the three dogs contact the notches, the shaft will seat a little further into the gear, and break the synchro
ring loose. You can check the engagement by pulling the output shaft tight against the pancake and still be able to
"jiggle" the brass synchro ring slightly. If it is tight, rotate the shaft some more until it does engage correctly. Repeat
this step if necessary, but still be careful to not pull the synchro slider off .
Assembly hint:
Hold the output shaft in your hand. You want to have the three notches over you thumb and fore finger. Slip the slider
over the shaft and drop in the three synchro dogs. Roll the spring onto the two of the dogs and then snap it into the
third and flip shaft over and repeat this step.
