Doing a bearing and seal refresh on my '62 SM319 and I didn't notice which direction the thrust washer was facing. It's on the main shaft between the second speed gear and main shaft rear bearing. Do the grooves go toward gear or bearing.

There is not a tool made that if you don't try hard enough you can't break!
