I would mic the shaft to see if perhaps one end is mushroomed a little. If so, buff it down some.
Hard to say if a tight fit would cause problems... the countershaft isn't super-beefy as you can see, so I'd rather it works/fits as the factory intended. edit: do you mean the countershaft 'shaft' or the gear cluster? Not sure which you got a new one of. |

Also guys, the countershaft was kind of hard to press out of the cluster gear. I dont know if heat was a factor that contributed to that. I saw the master tech video on youtube on the getrag rebuild and saw that it came out fairly easily. Will i damage the new countershaft if it is just as difficult pressing it?
I hate that video! Makes it look so easy but thats also due to the fact he had a brand new getrag probably fresh off assembly. Also never went over how to deal with the input shaft (same with the overhaul guide). Had to learn the somewhat hard way lucky my gear didnt break. When reassembling definitly use the oven to heat up the bearing. Most went on by hand with this method except the counter shaft |
