DISASSEMBLY
Before disassembly of the input shaft, it is neces-
sary to check the synchronizer stop ring gap. Use a
feeler gauge to measure the gaps between the stop
rings and the speed gears. The correct gaps are listed
below:
• 1st - 0.522-2.208 mm (0.021-0.087 in)
• 2nd - 0.522-2.208 mm (0.021-0.087 in)
• 3rd - 0.73-1.53 mm (0.029-0.060 in)
• 4th - 0.77-1.57 mm (0.030-0.062 in).
• 5th - 0.73-1.53 mm (0.029-0.060 in)
If a stop ring gap does not fall within the specifi-
cations, it must be inspected for wear and replaced.
If the 1st or 2nd synchronizer stop ring is worn
beyond specifications, the complete output shaft
assembly must be replaced.
The input shaft incorporates the 3rd, 4th, and 5th
speed gears and synchronizers on the assembly (Fig.
88).
(1) Install bearing splitter behind 5th speed gear.
Remove snap ring at 5th synchronizer hub on input
shaft (Fig. 89).
