9.51. A 28mm circlip holds the 55-tooth forward gear
to the reduction shaft. If either component
shows wear or damage, remove this clip to sep-
arate them. See Figure 9.51.
NOTE: The gear is reversible, but should be
maintained in its original orientation once the
transaxle is broken-in.
9.52. Clean and inspect the input shaft.
9.53. The 24-tooth forward gear, along with a washer
(25.3mm I.D.X 33mm O.D.X 1mm width) is held
on by a 25mm circlip. See Figure 9.53.
9.54. Inspect the bearing surfaces on the input shaft
and 24-tooth forward gear. See Figure 9.54.
NOTE: The bearing surface of the 24-tooth for-
ward gear is very similar to the bearing surface
in the 19-tooth reverse sprocket.
9.55. If the gear, shaft, or circlip show signs of wear or
damage, replace them. When reassembled,
there should be roughly .020” (.50mm) axial
clearance (end play) available at the gear.
See Figure 9.55.
