Disassembly of Manual Transmission 038М — step-by-step instruction

The gearbox is disassembled for subsequent inspection of parts and replacement of worn parts.

Materials used and precautions:

  • To drive out the pins, use a drift punch and a hammer; a plastic mallet is permitted for seating/removing covers and cases.
  • When removing covers and cases, apply a few light blows with the plastic mallet — avoid deforming the seating surfaces.
  • To replace the oil seal and loosen the threaded plugs, use special tools.
  • Apply sealant to the plug thread before screwing it in.
  • Tighten the mounting bolts to the recommended torque; for multiple bolts, follow the diagonal sequence.
  • Drain the oil from the gearbox into a suitable container; dispose of the used oil in accordance with environmental requirements.
  • Place the removed parts on a clean surface; keep small items (balls, pins, snap rings) in a separate container.
