Brandon,

The main ball shift shaft, which contains the two ball shift gears, shift engagement balls, retaining ring, and shifting axle is all preassembled. The customer has to assemble the cluster shaft and two gears on the cluster shaft, insert the ball shift shaft with 2 bearings, and assemble the housings and motors. Additionally, the user has to assemble the 2 standoffs for the shifer and the pneumatic cylinder. If the user wants to use encoders, then that hardware must be assembled too.

The user does not have to deal with the ball shift mechanism as that will be pre-assembled.

Paul
