spring should be installed into different key cavities on either
side. Slide the sleeve onto the hub aligning the marks made

NOTE: A groove around the outside of the synchronizer
hub identifies the end that must be opposite the fork slot
in the sleeve when assembled. This groove indicates the
end of the hub with a greater recess depth.
Extension Oil Seal or Bushing
If bushing in rear of extension requires replacement,
remove seal and use Tool J-5778 to drive bushing into
extension housing (Fig. 7B-12J). Using the same tool, drive
new bushing in from the rear. Coat I.D. of bushing and seal
with transmission lubricant, then install new oil seal using
Tool J-5154 (Fig. 7B-13J).
