(6) Install synchronizer hub retaining ring (Fig.
67). Be sure ring is fully seated before proceeding.
(7) Install sliding clutch (sleeve) on synchronizer
hub (Fig. 68).
CAUTION: The sliding clutch must be correctly
positioned to ensure proper shifting. Position the
clutch on the hub so a clutch spline is centered
over each strut as shown (Fig. 69). If the clutch is
installed so a gap between splines is aligned with
one or more struts, gear clash will result.
(8) Support front case on wood blocks so case inte-
rior is facing up. Place blocks between mounting
studs on forward surface of case. Be sure blocks will
not interfere with input gear installation.
(9) Lubricate mainshaft components with trans-
mission fluid.
