Clearance Inspection

NOTE: The synchro sleeve and synchro hub should be replaced as a set.




1. Measure the clearance between each shift fork and its matching synchro sleeve.




2. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the thickness of the shift fork fingers.
- If the thickness of the shift fork finger is less than the standard, replace the shift fork with a new one.
- If the thickness of the shift fork finger is within the standard, replace the synchro sleeve with a new one.




3. Measure the clearance between the shift fork and the shift arm.




4. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, measure the width of the shift arm.
- If the width of the shift arm is less than the standard, replace the shift arm with a new one.
- If the width of the shift arm is within the standard, replace the shift fork or shift piece with a new one.
