INSPECTION
REVERSE IDLER SHAFT





Check the reverse idler shaft for damage, flaking, dents, uneven wear, bend, and other defects.

THRUST BEARING
1. Check the thrust bearing for smooth rotation, without looseness or noise, when rotated together with the washers.
2. Check the retainer for deformation.

NEEDLE BEARING
1. Check the needle bearing for smooth rotation, without looseness or noise, when rotated together with the reverse idler gear and shaft.
2. Check the retainer for deformation.

FRONT REVERSE IDLER GEAR





1. Check the helical gear teeth and clutch gear teeth of the reverse idler gear for damage and excessive wear.
2. Check the synchronizer cone surface of the reverse idler gear for roughness, damage and excessive wear.
3. Check the inside surface and front and back sides of the reverse idler gear for damage and excessive wear.

SYNCHRONIZER RING





1. Check the clutch gear on the synchronizer ring for damaged and missing teeth.
2. Check the inner surface of the synchronizer ring cone for damage and excessive wear. Also check that the inside ridges are intact.
3. Check the synchronizer key contact surface of the synchronizer ring for damage and excessive wear.





4. Press the synchronizer ring against the cone of the reverse idler gear and check clearance A. Replace the synchronizer ring if the clearance is less than the limit.
Limit: 0.7 mm (0.0276 inch)





CAUTION: When assembling the reverse idler gear sleeve and reverse idler gear sleeve, align the match marks that were made during disassembly.





Check that the reverse idler gear sleeve slides smoothly on the reverse idler gear hub when they are combined.





Check the front and back ends of the inner splines of the reverse idler gear sleeve for damage.

Check the helical gear teeth and clutch gear teeth of the reverse idler gear for damage and excessive wear.

Check the front, back, and inner surfaces of the reverse idler gear for damage and excessive wear.
