Rep Power: 0 Installing countershaft & needle bearing; Did I do it right?
Hi Civicforum,
So I am doing a M/T rebuild because of the ISB issue, might as well rebuild the other bearing.
The first photo is the OEM bearing on both countershaft, before I take it off, needle bearing clearance has little bit millimeter gap on it on the gear.
So second photos is when I installed new countershaft and needle bearings.
My question is, did I do it right on needle bearing (the 2nd one on the latter that touches the gear so much) will it scratched on the gear, do I need to worry about it? And is there any peeler gauge measurement when doing this?
Cheers!
Elfred

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

What does your service manual say?

Search forum for "looking for a 7th gen manual for free" and go to the most recent pages and links in the thread
Note most links lead to manuals that cover cars worldwide so be careful when looking for info make sure it really applies to your own car

Re: Installing countershaft & needle bearing; Did I do it right?
That bearing you mentioned earlier you said rubbed against the gear (" will it scratched on the gear, do I need to worry about it? "), it should not do that.
(fails a very basic rule of thumb: "is there enough clearance?") The race must be far enough away to not rub as the gear spins
But You needed to be using a real service manual anyway, hope that helped
I could not tell if maybe something got assembled upside down (a very real possibility) but that might be enough to cause a clearance issue like that

but using bearing puller will make this new installed bearing garbage,
I am thingking by pulling it to the shaft, I might drop the shaft to the ground upside down,
so only inner race on both CS bearing and needle bearing will move fair enough equally out
from the counter shaft to avoid bearing deformity.

The inner needle bearing has a clearance, the only worries me is the casing of the inner bearing the one that rubs on the top latter of the splined fixed gear.
photos here as disassembled before installing.
