The bearing of the incoming axle was blocked for some reason but I already planned to replace all bearing anyway.

The needles bearings where also not so good but the bearing surface was still in good shape.

After all internals where cleaned, checked and stored I started with cleaning the gearbox cover.

I will leave the gearbox cover as it is for the time being. I don’t want to disassemble to much at the same time be able to assemble everything as it should.

After the outside gearbox cover was decreased and all rust removed, it could be painted epoxy primer and several layers of black paint.

All separate parts used to rebuild the gearbox without cover

Gearbox (without cover) mounted

The Xk140 has the normal H shape for 1st, 2nd, 3th and 4th gear. The reverse gear is placed on the left side of the 1st gear. Before the reverse gear can be selected the gear stick must be pressed to the left with a little pressure before it can be moved forward.

All parts needed to assemble the striking gear

A fresh gasket will be use to mount the assembled striking gear on top of the gearbox.

Now everything for the gearbox and bell housing has been finished we can start assembling the engine.
