NOTE: In all operations where it is necessary to adjust the mainshaft for end play, it is important
that from .003 to .006 end play be allowed. On cars previous to 500,001 a greater end play of .008
to .012 was necessary because the thrust was greater on the transmission thrustwashers and it
required this amount of end play to insure their proper lubrication. When referring back,
therefore, to operations described in the 1926 Service Manual and applying these operations to
cars 500,001 and upward, use the figure .003 to .006 for end play instead of the figure .008 to
.012. Also note where reference is made to operations in the 1926 Service Manual to be used on
cars 500,001 and upward it is not necessary to disconnect the brake pull rod at the bottom of the
hand brake lever, as. this has been removed from the transmission housing and is now attached to
the frame of the car on the left hand side.
