Disassembly of Gearbox ZM001DB/ZM001DF — step-by-step instruction

1. Remove the clutch release bearing, clutch release fork, clutch housing, front cover components, input shaft, front intermediate shaft bearing snap ring, control lever assembly and gearbox cover with the gear shift mechanism.

Materials used and precautions:

  • To drive out the pins, use a drift punch less than 5 mm in diameter.
  • Take care not to lose the needle bearings, steel balls or detent springs.
  • Before disassembly, clean the external surfaces of the gearbox.
  • Place the removed parts on a clean surface; keep small items (balls, pins, snap rings) in a separate container.
  • When removing the shift forks and shafts, mark them for correct subsequent installation.
