INSPECTION
If any pump component is worn, or damaged, the
pump must be replaced as an assembly.
Inspect the spline teeth on the synchronizer hub (Fig.
38). If evidence of chipping or excessive wear is appar-
ent, replace the hub. The hooked end of each synchro-
nizer spring should be inserted in one of the struts. In
addition, the springs should not interfere with the pol-
ished gear cone or inside diameters of the hub.
Inspect the stop ring for cracks and wear. Replace
the ring if necessary or if doubt exists over condition.
