4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION The MLG gearbox is an inline gearbox designed for use in Front-engined, rear wheel drive cars. The unit is produced with six forward gears plus reverse. The standard front face is to suit Ford Sierra Type 9 bellhousing. The gear selection mechanism is sequential, and an optional lever arrangement is available that mounts directly to the gearbox rear case (R/H or L/H Drive). A cable operated blocking mechanism is featured to prevent accidental down shifts into neutral and reverse gears. The gear selection order is:- Rev - Neutral - 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th - 6th The drive is taken from the engine via the clutch shaft to a transfer gear set (drop gear). The output drop gear is splined to the layshaft and drive is transferred through gears to the mainshaft shaft, and then on to output (prop-shaft) flange which is inline to the clutchshaft. Gear changing is effected through non-synchronising face dogs. An extensive range of gear ratios provides a wide range of gearing requirements. The gear ratios and drop gears can be changed without removing the gearbox from the vehicle. Hewland specification, heat treated nickel chrome steel is used to manufacture all gears and shafts. The selector forks are also steel. Lubrication is by internal pump with distribution circuit, and the oil is retained by lipped oil seals. In general configuration, the MLG-200 is a high tech racing transmission which achieves the maximum effective use of power. Custom output flanges can be specified and the position can be changed with an alternative housing and flange arrangement (further details available from Hewland Engineering upon request) 1st to 6th gear ratios from 3.083:1 to 0.923:1 Drop gear ratios 27/28, 24/24, 28/27, 24/27 & 27/24 Clutchshaft - made to customers requirements Output flange: MLG-218-GIN (see installation drawing for details). Bespoke flanges made to customers requirements. Gearbox weight Oil type Oil quantity Maximum torque 66 lbs (30Kg) + clutchshaft and output flange SAE 80 or pints (1.25 litres) - Not Including cooler or external pipe work. 320 lbs.ft (430 Nm) PAGE 4

5 RECOMMENDED FITTING TORQUES General nut and bolt torque settings:- Specific nut and bolt torque settings:(where Specific nut and bolt details are a similar size to General nut and bolt details, the tightening torques listed in this section must be adhered to for these components.) Barrel Bolt tightening torque = 35 lbs.ft (48 Nm) PAGE 5

6 GENERAL NOTES a) Read these instructions carefully and with reference to the illustrations. b) Before dismantling the gearbox, see that a clean tray is available, in which to place the parts. c) Thoroughly clean and inspect all parts before reassembly. Discard any worn or damaged components and replace with new ones. d) Use only genuine Hewland parts as replacements. These are manufactured in our workshops to the fine tolerances necessary and are rigorously inspected. e) Always ensure that locknuts, and oil seals are in good condition when reassembling. f) All studs and screws must be Loctited or wirelocked in position, unless stated otherwise g) Bearing Replacement :Bearings can only be removed or renewed if the casings have been warmed in an oven, or with a blowlamp. In the latter case, keep the blowlamp moving while heating the casing. N.B. Do not overheat. Test with a spot of water which will bounce off at the correct temperature. Once a casing is heated, all bearings should be pressed into their respective seatings without delay, thus eliminating the need to reheat. At the correct temperature, fitting the bearings should present no difficulty. During cooling, or when the casings have cooled, it is advisable to once more lightly press the bearings to ensure that they are correctly seated. h) Oil:Fill the gearbox through the oil filler hole on top of the rear case. The oil will find it's own level within the gearbox. N.B. Too much oil will not directly cause any harm, but is undesirable as it will induce power loss and overheating of the internals. PAGE 6

SEQUENTIAL BARREL SETTING Requires special tool No.

The output housing must be secured in place with bolts (92). Fit the fork setting fixture as shown in Fig. 1 & 11. Use the handle (f4) to place the barrel in the neutral position.

Their position in the case, (furthest away from the datum face), means any dog clearance errors due to tolerance build up, will be at their worst.

7 SEQUENTIAL BARREL SETTING Requires special tool No. SK-2444 Build up the mainshaft assembly into the rear case, ensuring the circlip (18) is installed with the thickness of spacer (100) adjusted to suit. The output housing must be secured in place with bolts (92). Fit the fork setting fixture as shown in Fig. 1 & 11. Use the handle (f4) to place the barrel in the neutral position. With neutral position selected, measure and record the dog face clearance for 1st & 2nd gears. Their position in the case, (furthest away from the datum face), means any dog clearance errors due to tolerance build up, will be at their worst. Therefore it is acceptable to adjust the barrel position according to these readings. Any difference in the dog face clearance between these gears must be averaged out by changing the barrel setting spacer (108) ~ various thicknesses available, as shown in Fig.1. In order to change this spacer, the face plate of the fixture, the selector rail (111), selector forks (21 & 112) and the keep plate (66) must be removed. To remove the keep plate, undo the two screws (98). Once the keep plate is out, the barrel (65), along with its spacer (108), bearing (6) and barrel bolt (107) can then be removed. Unscrew the barrel bolt from the barrel (this is made easier if a suitable tool is located into the radial hole in the Barrel). The bearing can then be removed and the spacer changed. Once 1st/2nd fork setting is completed, the clearance of the dogs between the reverse gear (110) and ring (62) should be checked. The nominal clearance is same as 1st/2nd gear, although it can be less in reverse, the clearance should be at least 1mm (.039 ). FIGURE 1 N.B. It is not possible (or necessary) to individually adjust each fork. PAGE 7

8 GEARBOX ASSEMBLY a) It is assumed that all bearings, seals, o-rings, studs, oil jets, plugs and dowels are already fitted into their casings. b) Fit the pawl (101) into the selector rack (67) with dowel pin (123) ensuring afterwards that the pawl is free to rotate in the rack. Slide the spacers (32 & 33) on to the rack along with spring (103) followed by the spacer (32) and fit circlip (17) to secure in place. Fit the plunger (103), spring (1) and washer (29) into the bore of the selector rack and secure in place with internal circlip (16). Slide the assembled rack into the front case (53) being careful not to damage or dislodge the quad-ring (84). Slide bearing (10) on to the barrel driver (99) and assemble into the bearing (9) in the front case [it will be necessary to duck the rack pawl out of the way]. Once in place fit circlip (19) to retain the barrel drive/bearing. Fit the detent wheel (85) and spring (86) on to the trunion (34) and ensuring washer (38) is in place, attach the assembly to front case with screw (43). [The spring will seat against dowel pin (28) and the detent wheel should act against the pins in the barrel driver]. Fit the selector rack cover (54) using screws (98). Fit spray rail (20) into front case using screw (89) to retain. Fit the transfer gears (73) into the bearings (8) in front case. The input transfer gear can be identified by the internal circlip which is fitted in its bore. The clutchshaft (64) can now be installed into input transfer gear with wire ring (45) locating it in position Fit the reverse idler post into the centre case (57) and retain with bolt (93). Fit bearing (35) into idler gear (27) and slide on to the post. Fit washer (114) and retain with circlip (36). Attach magnet (115) into place on centre case using screw (89) The centre case can now be fitted, using the transfer gear bearings (5) for alignment, push centre case on to front case until the dowels (49) are home. {FIGURE 2} c) d) e) f) g) h) i) j) k) l) {FIGURE 3} m) Slide third input gear (71) followed by forth & fifth (77) input gears on to layshaft (72). Fit spacer (3) then sixth input gear (77) followed by disc spring (4) and finally the inner track (106). [correct orientation of disc spring is important and is shown on Fig.#.] For loose 2nd layshafts, see Fig.#. for spacer arrangement of additional spacers etc. {FIGURE 4} n) Fit the 2 halves of split bearing (12) into rev. pinion gear (110) and slide on to rev. c/ring hub. Slide this assembly on to the mainshaft (60). Fit pinion gears (72, 71 & 77) and c/rings (76) on to hubs (75) with needle bearings (2) fitted. Slide these on to mainshaft in incremental order (first gear being closest to reverse). PAGE 8

9 o) Fit spacer (100) followed by bearing (7), noting that the inner track spacer is fitted in opposite position to usual so that the oil muff (61) now forms the abutment shoulder when fitted on to mainshaft. Fit circlip (18) to the mainshaft assembly. N.B. It maybe necessary to surface grind the spacer (100) to enable the mainshaft stack to assemble with minimum end float. Once the spacer (100) has been adjusted, remove circlip(18), oil muff (61) & bearing (7) but leave the inner track spacer for the bearing on the shaft. Slide needle bearing (11) on to mainshaft (spigot end). {FIGURE 5} p) q) r) Fit the spacer (108) and bearing (6) to the selector barrel (65) and secure with bolt (107) ensuring correct torque is applied. Fit into rear case (70) and clamp in place with keep plate (66) using the two screws (98). Fit assembled layshaft into the bearing (8) in rear case. Fit mainshaft bearing (7) into rear case, locate selector forks (21,112) on to the associated c/rings on the mainshaft assembly. Fit the mainshaft assembly into rear case, locating into inner track of bearing (7). Slide selector rail (111) through forks and locate into rear case. Fit the oil muff (61) on to mainshaft so it abuts the bearing. Fit circlip (18) to secure the mainshaft assembly. {FIGURE 6} s) t) u) Install bearing (13), spacer (56) and bearing (13) into bore of tail housing (55). Fit circlip (14) to retain bearings then insert lipseal (52) and retain with circlip (44). With o-ring (81) fitted, insert plug (58) into output flange (59) and retain with snap-ring (15) Ensure o-ring (83) in place on the tail housing (55), then install it into rear case and retain with bolts (92) so that the rear mainshaft bearing is clamped into place by the tail housing. {FIGURE 7} v) Fit oil pump rotors (22, 23) into pump body (26) followed by cover (113) and secure in place with screws (91). Slide drive gear (69) on to driving rotor (23) and fit key (24) then retain with circlip (25). {FIGURE 8} w) Install oil pump into rear casing, taking care not to damage the pump outer o-ring (82). Secure with screws (98). x) Fit the filter (109) and washer (42) into rear case along with two hydraulic fittings (46) and associated washers (119). Thread reverse lock cable [not standard Hewland supply] through detent plug (31) and spring (104) then into the plunger (30) and secure with two grub screws (94) y) Install the rear case assembly onto the assembled transfer housing (front & centre cases) ensuring it is fully home on the dowels. Secure with six nuts (78) and washers (120) z) Fit three washers (122) between two bearings (11) into bore of bellcrank (68) followed by another washer (50) on either side. Locate bellcrank arm into selector rack slot and fix in place under the bracket (74) by screwing the three bolts (90, 97) along with washers (50) into the front and rear casings. PAGE 9

10 CHANGING GEAR RATIOS a) With a drip tray placed beneath the gearbox, remove the filter (109) and drain the oil. b) Disconnect the drive flange (59) from the prop-shaft of the car. c) Undo the screw connecting gear lever linkage rod to the bellcrank and disconnect linkage. Remove the rearmost of the bellcrank bracket screws (90) from the rear casing. d) Remove the six k-nuts (78). The rear case can then be separated from the transfer housing assembly (centre & front cases). Two jacking-off holes (M6 thread) are located on the rear case flange behind the dowel pins(49) to help ease removal of the rear casing. Care should be taken to ensure the layshaft assembly is supported to prevent it dropping out as the casing is removed. Also ensure that the mainshaft front bearing (117) stays located in the transfer gear. e) Once the rear casing has been removed, the selector rail (111) can be pulled out and forks (21, 112) swung away from the selector barrel (65). f) Remove the output housing (55) from the rear case by removing the five screws (92). Three jacking-off holes (M6 thread) are located on the output housing flange to help ease removal of the housing. Care should be taken to ensure the drive flange is removed or supported to prevent it dropping out as the housing is removed. g) Circlip (18) should be removed and the mainshaft assembly can then pulled out along with the layshaft. Care should be taken with the oil muff (61) as this won t be supported once the mainshaft is out. Also, one should be careful not to loose the layshaft bearing inner track (106) or the adjacent disc spring (4) when the layshaft is removed. Changing of the transfer gears can be achieved by carrying out steps a to d (above). The centre plate (57) can then be removed from the front case (53) taking care to support the clutchshaft (64) so as not to damage the lipseal (51). The clutchshaft needs to be removed from the input transfer gear by tapping it out with a aluminumn drift so that the wire ring (45) is released from its locating groove. N.B. When replacing the transfer gears, the input gear has an internal circlip fitted. PAGE 10
