scribed earlier in this chapter.
3. Drain the engine oil as described in Chapter
Three.
4. Remove the alternator cover and pull it from the
flywheel (Chapter Five).
5. Press the shift arm away from the shift cam so
the shift pawls (A, Figure 4) clear the shift pins.

assembly from the crankcase. Watch for the washer
(A, Figure 5) on the inboard end of the shift shaft.
Installation

shift shaft (A and B, Figure 5).
2. Spread the shift arm (A, Figure 6) so the pawls
