Putting the mainshaft back together and putting the the first gear thrust washer (576735). My washer has a plain face and the other has two groves and a bevel on the ID.
The end float has been set with the grooved side facing the first gear. Now I'm putting it back together the landrover manual says "replace the thrust washer with its stepped face outwards" and the haynes says "the thrust washer with the stepped side facing the rear end of the shaft". If by stepped they mean two groves and a bevel then this is the opposite to how I set the endfloat.
I can't just turn it round because that will make a huge difference to the endfloat due to the bevel.
The parts diagram shows the grooves facing first gear (forward) so I'm confused.
Has anyone done this and knows which way it goes?
