F.1 - GEARBOX IDENTIFICATION - Section Menu

TYPE 352 GEARBOX.


    The Type 352 Gearbox was introduced at the following Chassis No:
      72031444P - U.K.
      72031020Q – Export
      72022150R- North America
    All the following information is relevant to this gearbox. Previous information, both in this supplement and the Workshop Manual, relates to the 336 type of gearbox.

    - Figure 1 -
    The general appearance of the Type 352 Gearbox is as seen in Fig. 1., with an identification tag as shown.

F.2 - GEAR LINKAGE - Section Menu

    - Figure 2 -
    The gears are selected by moving the gear lever to the positions shown in Fig. 2.

    - Figure 3 -
    The linkage between the gear lever and the gearbox is basically as shown in Fig.3.

    To Detach Linkage From Gearbox.

      Select 4th gear.

      - Figure 4 -
      Knock out the pin, which holds the universal joint on the rear longitudinal link to the gearbox selector shaft. See Fig. 4.
      Pull the linkage from the selector shaft. Replace in the reverse order.

    To Remove Complete Linkage.

      Detach rear longitudinal link, as detailed.
      Remove the vertical pivot bolt from the bracket on the front of the clutch housing, freeing the universal joint assembly.
      Remove the gear knob by unscrewing from gear lever, and remove the tunnel trim.
      Remove the four bolts from the gear lever pivot mounting, allowing the gear lever with the spacer and pivot, to drop into the chassis centre section.
      The complete gear linkage can now be withdrawn from the rear of the car.
      Replace in reverse order. Ensure that the spacer is replaced above the gear lever pivot, in the chassis centre section.

    F.3 - UNIVERSAL JOINT ASSEMBLY - Section Menu

      - Figure 5 -
      The central universal joint assembly is as shown in Fig. 5.

      To dismantle

        Knock out pins from front and rear link tubes.
        (Remove pivot bolt from pivot bracket, on clutch housing when dismantling on car.)
        Heat the ends of each link tube sufficiently to unlock the 'Loctite', and turn the complete assembly in an anti-clockwise direction, (looking from the rear,) until detached from the link tubes.
        The front tube is threaded right hand, and the rear is left hand. The spherical joint is 'Loctited' to the universal joint, and has to be heated to be removed.
        Slacken the locknut and unscrew the spherical joint from the pivot.
        Remove the spacing bushes from top and bottom of the pivot rubber bush.
        Remove the bush.
        NOTE: During re-assembly of the gear change linkage it is important that, where specified, LOCTITE High Strength Retaining Compound Type 35 must be used as follows:
        Thoroughly clean and degrease the mating faces.
        Spray the mating faces with 'Locquic' primer, Grade 'T' and allow to dry completely.
        Apply Loctite Type 35 liberally over the mating faces and assemble the components as described.
        The completed assemblies must be left to cure for a minimum period of 6 hours.

      REASSEMBLY.

        Replace rubber bush into pivot, screw spherical bearing, with locknut into pivot, to the dimension given in Fig. 5., and tighten the locknut.
        Fit the spherical joint with 'Loctite', to the front pin, (longer and R.H. thread) of the universal joint, so that the grease nipple is underneath.
        Clamp the joint onto the shank of the universal joint, by washers and a ½" U.N.F. nut, until the 'Loctite' has cured.
        When cured remove the ½" nut and washers.
        Refit gear lever assembly, front and rear longitudinal link tubes, and the pivot bracket assembly to the car, in reverse order to removal instructions.
        Apply 'Loctite' to both threads of the universal joint, and screw the complete joint assembly into both tubes, turning clockwise. If both tubes and the universal joint are being used again, align the holes and fit new 1/8" X 1" long pins. Allow the 'Loctite to cure.
        If new components are being used, the coupling assembly must be screwed into the tubes to the position, (with the pivot pin in place) where the following conditions apply:
        1. The gear lever must be vertical.
        2. The centre pivot assembly must be between 88° and 92° to centre line of car.
        3. The universal joint on the gearbox must be set in neutral, positioned opposite the 1st and 2nd gears.
        With the linkage set as above, drill through links and universal joint shanks to suit one eighth inch diameter pins, and fit new pins. Replace pivot pin and Nyloc nut. Allow the 'Loctite' to cure before using linkage.

F.4 - REVERSE INDENT MECHANISM - Section Menu

      Remove the indent housing from the rear cross member. C.
      Replace in reverse order, 'Loctiting' and pinning the cam to the shaft, and liberally smearing the spring and ball with molybdinum disulphide grease.

    SETTING REVERSE INDENT.

      If either the cam, or the gearbox shaft, need renewing at any time, the cam must be set as follows:
        Assemble the indent housing into the rear cross member and put the ball and spring into place.
        Put the cam onto the shaft with 'Loctlte', fit the Nyloc nut and tighten lightly.
        Select first gear. Take up free play in system by lightly holding lever over to right hand side.
        Adjust cam so that the ramp has just come into contact with the ball. Fully tighten nut.
        Use the pilot hole in cam as location to drill through shaft, and fit one eighth inch pin.
        Fit cover.

    F.9 - REASSEMBLING - Section Menu

      Secondary Shaft.

      1. Crown Wheel and Pinion.
        The final drive pinion and crown wheel are lapped together during manufacture, and have to be replaced as a unit, complete with the roller bearing, which cannot be supplied separately.

        - Figure 25 -
        A common marking is inscribed on both the crown-wheel and the pinion, for example 27:200. OTHER MARKINGS MUST BE IGNORED.

      2. Matching Final Drive Pinion Shaft To Synchronizer Hub.
        If the synchronizers can be used again, the size of the new final drive pinion to be ordered must be determined in order to ensure that the synchronizer hubs match the final drive pinion shaft.
        To do this, measure the old final drive pinion.
        If the synchronizers are damaged and the final drive pinion can be used again, the size of the synchronizer hubs to be ordered must be determined in order to ensure that they match the final drive pinion.

        - Figure 26 -
        To do this, measure the final drive pinion, as follows.

          Measure the dimension across 2 of the splines on the final drive pinion shaft by means of a micrometer.
          Take a number of measurements at different points around the splines at the point where the synchronizer hub fits and find the average.
          There are 2 different size groups for the final drive pinion shaft and the synchronizer hubs.
          They can be identified by a colour code paint mark.
            Final Drive Pinion Shaft Dimension Colour Code
            16.61 to 16.63mm (.6539 to .6547") Blue
            16.64 to 16.66 mm (.6551 to .6559") Yellow

          The synchronizer hubs are fitted to the final drive pinion shaft on the press:

            1st- 2nd speed hub: hot at a temperature of 250°C (482°F).
            3rd- 4th speed hub: cold.

          The 1st- 2nd speed synchronizer.

            - Figure 27 -

            As the sliding gear wheel and the hub are matched, mark before separating them.
            The position mark should be made on the 2nd speed gear wheel side, (the same side as the chamfered) on the sliding gear wheel so that it can be seen after the hub has been fitted.

            Place the hub in an electric oven and heat it to 250°C (482°F).
            Wait until it has reached full temperature before starting to re-assemble the secondary shaft assembly.

          - Figure 28 -

          The 3rd- 4th speed synchronizer.

            It is not necessary to dismantle this.
            If it has been dismantled and can be used again re-assemble it as follows:
              Place the three keys and the two springs on the hub (as shown).
              Place the sliding gear wheel in the correct position, with the groove in the sliding gear wheel on the opposite side to the two notches in the hub, and the reference mark on the sliding gear wheel in line with the mark made on the hub during dismantling.

              - Figure 29 -
              Place the synchronizer spring on the 1st speed gear wheel so that it covers the 3 notches.

            - Figure 30 -
            Place the following on the final drive pinion (already fitted with its bearing)
            - the 1st speed gear wheel and its ring.
            - the 1st speed gear wheel stop washer.
            Turn it, and locate it by means of a dummy key (this is a washer retaining key one lug of which has been removed).
            The dummy key is to be placed in one of the keyways, which has an oil hole in it.

            - Figure 31 -
            Take the 1st- 2nd speed gear wheel hub from the oven and place it on the final drive pinion in the correct position; the part with the position mark on it for positioning the sliding gear wheel is to face towards the 2nd speed gear wheel; the unsplined portion is to be in line with the dummy key.

            - Figure 32 -
            Push on the hub on the press until it makes contact with the stop washer.
            Hold the synchronizer ring in a central position, with the lugs below the level of the stop washer so as not to damage the spring.
            Hold pressure on the press for a time in order to allow the hub to cool down (Assist by cooling with compressed air).
            Release pressure.
            Remove the dummy key.

              - Figure 33 -
              Fit the 1st- 2nd speed sliding gear wheel:
              - with a chamfer on the 2nd speed gear wheel side.
              - with the position reference in line with that on the hub.
              Fit the hub stop washer (turn it to align its spline with those on the final drive pinion).

              - Figure 34 -
              Place the synchronizer spring on the 2nd speed gear wheel in the position as on the 1st speed gear wheel. Position the 2nd speed gear wheel and its ring. Position the gear wheel stop washer (turn it to align its splines with those on the final drive pinion shaft).
              Fit the 3rd speed wheel gear and its ring.
              Position the stop washer so that its splines align with those of the final drive pinion shaft, and fit the gear wheel stop washer retaining key into one of the keyways that has an oil hole in it. Fit the 3rd- 4th speed synchronizer, with the notches on the hub on the 3rd speed wheel side, and in line with the retaining key.
              Press into place until it makes contact with the 3rd speed gear wheel stop washers.
              Warning.
              Ensure that the 3 notches on the synchronizer hub are in line with the 3 keys.

            - Figure 35 -

            - the 4th speed gear wheel and its ring.
            - the pinion depth adjusting washer (that was removed during dismantling).
            - the double taper roller bearing and the speedometer drive worm gear.
            Grip the shaft in a vice, across the 1st speed gear wheel.
            Engage 1st gear.
            Tighten the speedometer drive worm gear by means of torque wrench (Part No.X046F 6353Z) fitted with spanner (Part No. X046F 6175Z): 10 to 12 m. da N. (75 to 85 lb/ft).
            Do not lock it, so that the pinion depth can be adjusted later.

            - Figure 36 -
            Check that the space at J between the synchromesh hub and each synchromesh ring is 0.20 mm. (.008").

            - Figure 37 -
            Fit the following in the differential housing: [1]

              - The bakelite impregnated washer (with the lubrication groove on the sun wheel side).
              - The 1.97 to 2 mm. (.077 - .079 in.) shim (Use the thicker shim 2.03 to 2.07 mm (.080 - .082 in.) only when the play between the planet and sun wheels is excessive).
              - One sun wheel (dipped in oil grade EP 80).
              - The planet wheels and their friction washers. (Place the locating lug in the hole in the housing.)

            Insert the planet wheel shaft (align the hole in the shaft with that in the housing) and fit the roll pin.
            Dip the second sun wheel in oil grade EP 80 and fit it in the crown wheel.

          TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY

          Adjusting Pinion Depth

            - Figure 41 -
            The final drive pinion must be positioned by means of the washer shown arrowed, so that the distance from the front face to the crown wheel centre line at 'A' is 59 mm. (2.323 in).

            - Figure 42 -
            NOTE In some cases the depth 'A' may increase by the amount marked on the pinion at 'X', which is given in hundredths of a millimetre.
            The example shown in Fig. 41.is +0.20 mm., which has to be added to 59 mm. to give 59.20 mm (2.323 + .008 = 2.331 mm).

          Checking the Pinion Depth

            - Figure 43 -
            This operation is carried out with mandrel (1) (Part No. A074F 6020Z) which provides the crown wheel centre, and spacer (2) (Part No. A074F 6021 Z) which rests against the front face of the final drive pinion.

            Fit the secondary shaft to the left half of the housing.
            Fit the right hand half-housing and secure it in place by a number of bolts. (Do not tighten them.)
            Temporarily fit the front housing to hold the double taper roller bearing track ring in position. Tighten the half-housing securing bolts.
            Fit mandrel (1). (see Fig.43.)
            Fit spacer (2) against the front face of the final drive pinion.
            Measure by means of a set of feeler gauges, the gap between the spacer and the mandrel.
            This must be 0.50 mm.(.020 in.)
            If necessary adjust by means of the washer.
            Washers are obtainable in thicknesses of 3.50 mm. to 4.10 mm. (.138 to .162") increasing in increments of 5/100 mm. (.002").
            When the final adjustment has been obtained, remove gauge.
            Remove the secondary assembly and lock the speedometer drive worm.

          Adjusting the differential bearings:

            - Figure 44 -
            The adjustment is obtained by screwing nuts (1) and (2) in or out. (see Fig.44.)

            Fit the bearing outer race to each half housing so that it is slightly below the inner face of the housing.
            Fit the differential, together with its bearings, into the right -hand half housing.
            Fit the half-housing together, replace bolts, and tighten with a torque spanner in the order shown in Fig. 54., to 2 m da N (15 lb/ft.) for 7 mm. bolts and 2.8 m.da N (20 lb/ft.) for 8 mm. bolts.
            Smear the threads on the nuts and in the housing with 'Loctite AV' locking compound. Screw the adjusting nut into each half-housing until it makes contact with the bearing track ring, using wrench (Part No. X046 F 6179Z) (see Fig.10..)
            If the original bearings are being are being used again, the differential must turn without play.
            Continue to screw in the nuts, which push in the bearing track rings.
            Take care to screw in nut 2 (Fig.44.) on the differential housing side a little more than the one on the other side in order to obtain a crown wheel and pinion back lash which is slightly larger than that required on final assembly.
            When the differential can be felt to be turning without play, stop screwing in the nuts.
            This is the final adjustment.
            Mark the position of the nuts with reference to the housing (by means of punch mark).
            Remove the left-hand housing and the differential.
            If new bearings are fitted the differential should rotate with a resistance torque of between 0.050 and 0.150 m da N.
            Screw in nut (2) on the differential housing side more than the nut on the other side to obtain a back lash higher than the required figure on the final assembly.
            When the differential becomes slightly stiff to rotate, check the preload as follows:

          Adjusting the bearings.

            - Figure 45 -
            Turn the differential a number of times to centralize the bearings.
            Wrap a string around the differential housing.
            Pull on the string with a spring balance.
            The differential should rotate under a load of between 1 and 3 da N (2 to7 lb.).
            If the adjustment is not correct, screw the nut on the differential housing side slightly in and check the preload again.
            When the correct adjustment has been obtained, mark the position of the nuts with reference to the housing.

          Adjusting the primary shaft bearings.

            - Figure 46 -
            Place the bearing track rings (2) and (3) and the adjusting washer (1) onto the primary shaft.

          - Figure 47 -

          Positioning the primary shaft.

            Fit into the right-hand half housing the primary shaft, and the secondary shaft assembly.
            The face(A) on the primary 3rd speed gear wheel should be offset to face (C) on the secondary shaft 3rd speed gear wheel by the same amount as face (B) on the primary shaft 4th speed gear wheel is offset to face (D) on the secondary shaft assembly 4th speed gear wheel.
            This position is adjusted by means of washer (1 ):
            Washers are available in thicknesses of: 2.50-2.75-3 -3.25 -3.50-3.75 and 4 mm. (.079-.089-.108-.118-.128-.138-.148 -.158 in).
            When the correct adjustment has been obtained, remove the secondary shaft assembly.

          Adjusting the bearings.

            With the primary shaft in position, place the left half-housing in position without securing it.

            - Figure 48 -
            Fit the adjusting shim (C) and the spacer (4).
            The shaft should turn freely, without play, and the spacer should project above the housing by .20mm (.008 in.), the thickness of the paper gasket on the front housing.
            Place a rule against the spacer and check the dimension (F) between the rule and the housing by means of a set of feeler gauges.
            If the adjustment is not correct, increase or reduce the thickness of the shim pack C:
            Shims are available in thicknesses of: 0.10 - 0.20 - 0.25 - 0.50 and 1 mm. (.004 -.008 - .010- .020 - .040 in.)
            When the adjustment is complete, remove the right hand half housing and the primary shaft.
            Assemble the clutch shaft to the primary shaft by securing the roll pin.
            IMPORTANT - Roll Pin fitting:
            When reassembling, fit the roll pins as shown in Fig.71.

            Lock the two nuts.

          - Figure 78 -
          Check the clearance 'J' (Fig. 78) between the 5th speed synchro ring and the hub rim.
          A minimum clearance of .008 in. (.20 mm.) is required, with the gear hard against the hub, and the synchro ring in line with the gear cone.
          Return the selector forks to neutral, then select 4th speed.
          Fit the rear cover after applying 'Hylomar' to its gasket.

          - Figure 79 -
          Ensure the end of the rocking lever enters the slot in the 3rd - 4th speed selector shaft. (Fig. 79.)
          Push the cover on and fully tighten the securing bolts.

          - Figure 80 -
          Fit the 5th. speed selector locking ball and spring (Fig. 80.)

      F.18 - TYPE 336 GEARBOX - Section Menu

        The Type 336 Gearbox was used from the introduction of the Europa Twin Cam until the Type 352 Gearbox was introduced. With the exception of the gear change linkage, described and illustrated here, the information printed in Section 'F' of the Europa Workshop Manual is relevant and should be referred to.

        GEARBOX IDENTIFICATION.

        - Figure 336-1 -

        The general appearance of the Type 336 Gearbox is as seen in Fig. 1. with an identification tag as shown.

      F.19 - GEAR LINKAGE - Section Menu

        - Figure 336-2 -
        The gears are selected by moving the gear lever to the positions shown in Fig. 2.

        - Figure 336-3 -
        The linkage between the gear lever and the gearbox is as shown in Fig. 3.
        The dimensions shown between centres of the ball joints on the relay lever and the link tube must be strictly adhered to during the initial setting up of the linkage.

        To Detach Linkage From Gearbox.

          Remove the bolt, the two washers, and the two rubber bushes, which hold the location link 'G' to the gearbox central web.
          Remove the Nylon nut, the bolt, and the two spacing washers, which hold the rearmost ball joint to the actuator 'H'.
          Replace in the reverse order. Ensure that a metal washer and rubber bush are either side of the gearbox web before screwing bolt into location link 'G', and that a spacing washer is fitted to either side of the ball joint on refitting the bolt and Nyloc nut.

        GEAR LEVER ADJUSTMENT.

          - Figure 336-4 -
          Following replacement of the linkage to the gearbox it may be necessary to adjust the gear lever to the vertical position.
          This may be done as shown in Fig. 4. by screwing the rearmost ball joint in or out of the rear tube at 'B' to adjust the fore and aft position of the gear lever, and adjusting the lateral position of the lever by means of the ball joint in the location link at 'A'.

        REAR TUBE CLEARANCE.

          - Figure 336-5 -
          In certain circumstances the rear longitudinal link may clash with the exhaust system when in 1st and 2nd gear position.
          The clearance at the closest point should be adjusted as shown in Fig. 5. to 4.8 mm (0.19 in.) by screwing out the ball joints on the link tube at 'A' and 'B'.
