INSPECTION

INPUT SHAFT




1. Check the outer surface of the input shaft where the needle bearing is mounted for damage, abnormal wear and seizure [portion A].
2. Check the splines for damage and wear.

NEEDLE BEARING




1. Combine the needle bearing with the shaft or bearing sleeve and gear, and check that it rotates smoothly without abnormal noise or play.
2. Check the needle bearing cage for deformation.

SYNCHRONIZER RING




1. Check the clutch gear teeth for damage and breakage.
2. Check the internal surface for damage, wear and broken threads.




3. Force the synchronizer ring toward the clutch gear and check clearance "A". Replace if it is out of the limit.
Limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 in.)

The 1St speed gear and 2nd speed gear of synchronizer rings have an identification mark.

C - 1ST-2ND SPEED SYNCHRONIZER HUB/SYNCHRONIZER KEY/1ST-2ND SYNCHRONIZER/SLEEVE INSTALLATION




1. Combine the 1st-2nd speed synchronizer hub and sleeve as illustrated.




2. The synchronizer sleeve has tooth missing at six portions. Assemble the hub to the sleeve so that the center tooth "T"between two missing teeth will touch the synchronizer key.

D - SYNCHRONIZER SPRING INSTALLATION




Position each spring with respect to the keys as illustrated.




E - BEARING SLEEVE INSTALLATION




F - TAPER ROLLER BEARING INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Apply the special tool to the inner race only.

G - SNAP RING INSTALLATION




Select and install the snap ring that gives standard intermediate gear bearing end play.
Intermediate gear bearing end play: 0.01-0.14 mm (0.0004-0.0055 in.)

INSPECTION

INTERMEDIATE GEAR




1. Check the outer surface of the intermediate gear where the needle bearing is mounted for damage, abnormal wear and seizure [portion A].
2. Check the splines for damage and wear.

NEEDLE BEARING




1. Combine the needle bearing with the shaft or bearing sleeve and gear and check that it rotates smoothly without abnormal noise or play.
2. Check the needle bearing cage for deformation.

SYNCHRONIZER RING




1. Check the clutch gear teeth for damage and breakage.
2. Check the internal surface for damage, wear and broken threads.




3. Force the synchronizer ring toward the clutch gear and check clearance "A". Replace if it is out of the limit.
Limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

SYNCHRONIZER OUTER RING, INNER RING AND CONE




1. Check that there are no scratches or damage on the clutch gear teeth and cone surface.
2. Check that there are no scratches, wear or peeling on the paper lining surface.




3. Install the outer ring, inner ring and cone, and press them onto the clutch gear. Check clearance "A", and replace it "A" is below the limit value.
Limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

CAUTION: Replace the outer ring, inner ring and cone as a set.

SYNCHRONIZER SLEEVE AND HUB




1. Combine the synchronizer sleeve and hub and check that they slide smoothly.
2. Check that the sleeve is free from damage at its inside front and rear ends.
