Input Shaft Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly

  1. Clean all components thoroughly, inspect them for any abnormality and replace with new ones as necessary.
  2. Check clearance "a" between synchronizer ring (2) and gear (1), key slot width "b" in synchronizer ring and each chamfered tooth of gear and synchronizer ring and replace with new one, if necessary. Also, check gear tooth.

    Clearance "a" between synchronizer ring and gear 

    Standard: 1.0 - 1.4 mm (0.040 - 0.055 in.) 

    Service limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) 

    Key slot width "b" 

    Standard: 10.0 - 10.2 mm (0.394 - 0.401 in.) 

    Limit: 10.45 mm (0.411 in.)

  4. Fit high speed synchronizer sleeve (4) to hub (3), insert 3 keys (2) in it and then set springs (1) as shown in figure.
    NOTE:
    • No specific direction is assigned to high speed synchronizer sleeve or each key but it is assigned as assembly.
    • Size of high speed synchronizer sleeve, hub, keys and springs are the smaller than those of low speed one.

  6. Install 3rd gear needle bearing (4), apply oil to it, then install 3rd gear (1) and synchronizer ring (2).
  7. Drive in high speed sleeve & hub assembly (3) by using special tool and hydraulic press.
    NOTE:
    • While press-fitting sleeve & hub, make sure that synchronizer ring key slots are aligned with keys (5) in sleeve & hub assembly.
    • Check free rotation of 3rd gear after press-fitting sleeve & hub assembly.
    • Synchronizer rings for 3rd and 4th are identical.

  10. Using the same special tool at step  9), drive in 5th gear spacer (1).
    CAUTION: To prevent 5th gear spacer (1) from being distorted because of excessive compression, do not press fit it with left bearing (2) at once.
