New First Gear/Needle Bearings - M46/M47II
Previous first gear (P/N 1232996-7), used with a bronze bushing is no longer available.
It has been replaced by first gear, P/N 1340494-2, (arrow 1) together with needle bearing, p/n 1381565-9 (arrow 2). This new-style first gear does not have a drilled oil hole as in the old-style first gear. This is correct.
If only the bronze bushing (used with old-style first gear) needs to be replaced, use needle bearing (p/n 1381565-9). Press out the old bushing according to SB 43-12; June 1988, steps A12-14.
