3rd Gen Suzuki Jimny VVT 2005 M13A - R72 Gearbox Refurbishment

I don't remember having any trouble on mine with this. How ever that is a sealed bearing and I belive there is a seal on the output shaft so it could be trapped air? We have this problem at work with a lip seal against a sealed bearing, you can ease a small screw driver under to realise the pressure. It should be a tap fit a gentle tap.

Heating up can be a good idea but you have limited time to work with it. Also the risk of it going cold and not being where you want it.

Good luck

Ahaa! So that's why it bounces back! I found this bouncing issue with the counter shaft bearing only which sits into the housing without let the air escape. I just have not realized that this is the source of problem. I'll give it a go then! Thanks for pointing me to right direction!

Sorted! Heating up with heat gun did the trick! :woohoo:
Ready!

Good news well done

Thanks Danny

Top work. Before I took mine apart it had a rattle in 3rd even though all the bearings felt good after I put it back together all was sorted. Have you tried running through the gears before putting it back in? I got something backwards in mine on my first attempt and could select all of them.
