- Inspect the needle bearing for wear or damage. Install a new needle bearing as necessary.

4. Remove the 1st gear synchronizer inner cone, the outer cone and the blocking ring.
- Inspect all components for wear or damage. Install new components as necessary.





5. Remove the synchronizer sleeve and the 3 synchronizer keys.





6. Remove the split washer.





7. Remove the 1st/2nd gear synchronizer hub.

8. Remove the inner cone, the outer cone, the 2nd gear synchronizer blocking ring and the synchronizer hub.
- Inspect all synchronizer components for wear or damage. Install new components as necessary.





9. Remove 2nd gear.
- Inspect 2nd gear for wear or damage. Install a new gear as necessary.





10. Remove the 2nd gear needle bearing and the spacer.
- Inspect the needle bearing for wear or damage. Install a new needle bearing as necessary.





11. NOTE: Reposition the output shaft on the press with the input shaft end facing upward.

Remove and discard the snap ring, then using the Bearing Puller, remove the 3rd/4th gear synchronizer assembly, the 3rd gear synchronizer double cone and the 3rd gear.

- Inspect the gear for broken or cracked teeth. Install a new gear as necessary.

12. Remove the 3rd gear needle bearing and the spacer.
- Inspect the needle bearing for wear or damage. Install a new needle bearing as necessary.





13. NOTE: Install the Bearing Puller with the flat side facing the bearing.

Using the Bearing Puller, press the output shaft front bearing from the output shaft. Discard the bearing.





14. Inspect the synchronizers.
- Check for worn, nicked or broken teeth. Install a new synchronizer as necessary.

- Check keys for wear or damage. Install a new synchronizer as necessary.

15. Inspect the synchronizer blocking rings.
- Check for wear or damage. Install new synchronizer blocking rings as necessary.

- Check the clearance between the synchronizer blocking ring and the gear.
- Position the blocking ring onto the gear. Make sure the correct blocking ring is measured with the correct gear and that the blocking ring is fully seated on the gear.

- Insert a feeler gauge and measure the clearance, while applying pressure and rotating the blocking ring. The measurement should be the same around the entire circumference. If the clearance is less than 0.38 mm (0.015 in), install new blocking rings.





16. Inspect the output shaft for scoring or worn or damaged splines. Install a new output shaft as necessary.

Assembly
