GEAR AND SYNCHRONIZER
Install the needle bearing and inner race in the
first gear. Then check oil clearance between the gear

Install the needle bearings and the second, third
and counter fifth gears on the output shaft. Then
check oil clearance between the gears and shaft with
a dial indicator (Fig. 122). Oil clearance for all three
gears is 0.009 – 0.0013 mm (0.0004 – 0.0013 in.).
Check synchronizer ring wear (Fig. 123). Insert
each ring in matching gear. Measure clearance
between each ring and gear with feeler gauge.
Replace ring if clearance exceeds 2.0 mm (0.078 in.).
Check shift fork–to–synchronizer hub clearance
with a feeler gauge (Fig. 124). Replace the fork if
clearance exceeds 1.0 mm (0.039 in.).
