Honda Accord: Countershaft Inspection

1. Inspect the gear and bearing contact areas for wear and damage, then measure the countershaft at points A, B, and C. If any part of the countershaft is less than the service limit, replace it.

(Transmission Housing Side): 30.020-30.033 mm (1.1819-1.1824 in)

B 1st Gear Distance Collar Contact Area:

39.937-39.950 mm (1.5723-1.5728 in)

C Needle Bearing Contact Area

(Clutch Housing Side):

40.000-40.015 mm (1.5748-1.5754 in)

Service Limit:

B: 39.88 mm (1.570 in)

C: 39.95 mm (1.573 in)

2. Inspect the runout by supporting both ends of the countershaft. Then rotate the countershaft two complete turns while measuring with a dial gauge. If the runout exceeds the service limit, replace the countershaft.
