on. The essential information in the illustrations is however always correct.
Note: For replacement of GCU (Gear Control unit) or TECU, read first - MID 130 PID 160 Parameter setting .
Warning
Always it has necessity to use compressed air in some place of the gearbox, must wear the safety glasses.

Disassembly
Important information before disassembling the gearbox.
Important information before disassembling the gearbox, check the condition of the clutch housing and basic
housing.
1. Check if there is any axial play in the main shaft and countershaft. It must be less than 0.25 mm.
If the axial play is greater than 0.25 mm, replace the clutch housing and bearings with new parts with
locking pins. See step61.

2. Check the bearing's outer races for the input shaft and countershaft in the clutch housing. They must be
held still and not be able to rotate at room temperature.
If the bearing rotates: apply Loctite 638 (P/N 1161370). See step81.
3. Check the distance between the basic housing and the bearing's outer race on the main shaft and the
countershaft. Use a feeler gauge 0.05 mm thick and with a maximum width of 10 mm. It must not be
possible to insert the feeler gauge.
1. If the feeler gauge can be inserted, replace the basic housing, caps and bearings.
2. If the feeler gauge cannot be inserted: check rotation of the bearing outer race.
If the outer bearing race rotates: replace the two caps and bearings for ones with locking pins. In this
case, do not replace the base housing and clutch housing.
See step67.
The following measures must be carried out based on the results of the above checks:
If criteria 1 is not met, the gearbox must be updated to the variant with locking pin for the outer bearing races, on
both the clutch housing and the base housing. See step91–92and98–99.
If criteria 2 is not met, apply Loctite 638 (p/n 1161370).
If in criteria 3 it is not possible to insert a 0.05 mm, 10 mm long feeler blade, but the bearing is rotating, the rear
bearings for the main shaft and counter-shaft and the rear caps must be replaced with new bearings and caps
with locking pins. In this case, do not replace the basic housing.
If in criteria 3 it is possible to insert the 0.05 mm feeler gauge blade, replace the basic housing, plus the rear
bearings for the main shaft and counter-shaft and the rear caps for the beakers and caps with locking pin.
Note: if the gearbox already had bearings and rear caps with locking pins, these parts will be replaced only
when they are faulty.
On older gearboxes with long mileages, the existing parts can be reconditioned and the bearing's outer races
glued in the clutch housing. Use glue P/N 1161370.
Note! The bearing's outer races in the basic housing must not be glued due to the adjustment of the bearing
pretensioning.
The above upgrading to a variant with locking pins for the bearing's outer races requires a number of parts to be
replaced at the same time.

Note: If the Tech Tool cannot make contact with the TECU the control housing must be manually moved to the correct
position so that it can be lifted away from the gearbox.
The illustration shows the positions that the different air cylinders in the control housing must have in order for the
control housing to be lifted away.
In order for you to be able to remove the control housing, the splitter gear must be in its rear position, 2nd and 3rd in
neutral and 1st/reverse in the rear position and set to the high range.
Remove the screws holding the control housing on the gearbox. Remove the screws holding the cover on the TECU.
