7. Mainshaft Assembly Clearance Inspection

Mainshaft Assembly Clearance Inspection

NOTE:
- If replacement is required, always replace the synchro sleeve and hub as a set.
- 6-speed model is shown, 5-speed model is similar.

1. Support the bearing inner race with an appropriate sized socket (A), and push down on the mainshaft (B).





2. Measure the clearance between 2nd (C) and 3rd (D) gears with a feeler gauge (E).
- If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 3.
- If the clearance is within the service limit, go to step 4.

Standard: 0.06 - 0.16 mm (0.002 - 0.006 inch)
Service Limit: 0.25 mm (0.010 inch)

3. Measure the thickness of 3rd gear.
- If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 3rd gear.
- If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub.





4. Measure the clearance between 4th gear (A) and the distance collar (B) with a dial indicator (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 5.





5. Measure distance (1) on the distance collar.
- If distance (1) is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
- If distance (1) is within the standard, go to step 6.





6. Measure the thickness of 4th gear.
- If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 4th gear.
- If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub.





7. Measure the clearance between the distance collar (A) and 5th gear (B) with a dial indicator (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 8.





8. Measure distance (1) on the distance collar.
- If distance (1) is not within the standard, replace the distance collar. If distance (1) is within the standard, go to step 9.





9. Measure the thickness of 5th gear.
- If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 5th gear.
- If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 5th synchro hub (5-speed model) or 5th/6th synchro hub (6 speed model).











10. 5-speed model: Measure the thickness of the MBS distance collar. If the thickness is not within standard, replace the MBS distance collar.





11. 6-speed model: Measure the clearance between 6th gear (A) and the angular ball bearing (B) with a feeler gauge (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 12.





12. 6-speed model: Measure the thickness of the distance collar.
- If the thickness is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
- If the thickness is within the standard, go to step 13.





13. 6-speed model: Measure the thickness of 6th gear
- If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 6th gear.
- If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 5th/6th synchro hub.
