Abstract

The application discloses a method of assembling gears, transmission shafts, fork shift shaft and associated component parts of a 5-speed transmission for a vehicle. The fifth-speed gear and the hub therefor are designed to be installed outside the end of the transmission case which is remote from the end thereof secured to a clutch housing. After first to fourth-speed gears and associated component parts are mounted on the transmission shafts which have already been mounted at their one ends to bearings mounted on the clutch housing, the transmission case is moved over the transmission shafts, the gears and the associated component parts thereof in such a manner that an open end of the transmission case is directed toward the clutch housing until the open end of the transmission case reaches the clutch housing and the other ends of the transmission shafts are inserted into and project through bearings mounted on the other end of the transmission case. After the transmission case is secured at its open end to the clutch housing, the fifth-speed gear and the associated hub are mounted on the projecting ends of the shafts.
