Clearance Inspection

NOTE: If replacement is required, always replace the synchro sleeve and the synchro hub as a set.




1. Measure the clearance between 2nd and 3rd gears.




2. If the clearance is more than the service limit, measure the thickness of 3rd gear.
- If the thickness of 3rd gear is less than the service limit, replace 3rd gear with a new one.
- If the thickness of 3rd gear is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub with a new one.




3. Measure the clearance between 4th gear and the spacer collar.




4. If the clearance is more than the service limit, measure distance(R) on the spacer collar.




5. If distance (A) is not within the standard, replace the spacer collar with a new one. If distance (A) is within the standard, measure the thickness of 4th gear.
- If the thickness of 4th gear is less than the service limit, replace 4th gear with a new one.
- If the thickness of 4th gear is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub with a new one.




6. Measure the clearance between 5th gear and the spacer collar.




7. If the clearance is more than the service limit, measure distance (B) on the spacer collar.




8. If distance (B) is not within the standard, replace the spacer collar with a new one.
If distance (B) is within the standard, measure the thickness of 5th gear.
- If the thickness of 5th gear is less than the service limit, replace 5th gear with a new one.
- If the thickness of 5th gear is within the service limit, replace the 5th synchro hub with a new one.
