Input Shaft Disassembly and Assembly: Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Clean all components thoroughly, inspect them for any abnormality and replace with new ones as necessary.
If synchronizer parts need to be repaired, check clearance "a" between ring (2) and gear (1), each chamfered tooth of gear, ring and sleeve, then determine parts replacement.
Clearance "a" between synchronizer ring and gear

Standard: 1.0 - 1.4 mm (0.039 - 0.055 in.)

Service limit: 0.5 mm (0.019 in.)
