With S53 Transaxle/2WD

1. INSPECT SYNCHRONIZER RINGS
a. Check for wear or damage.
b. Turn the ring and push it in to check the bearing action.




c. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.

Minimum clearance: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)

If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchronizer ring.




2. INSPECT CLEARANCE OF NO.2 SHIFT FORK AND HUB SLEEVE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub sleeve and shift fork.

Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)

If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shaft fork or hub sleeve.




3. INSPECT INPUT SHAFT
a. Check the input shaft for wear or damage.
b. Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the input shaft journal surface.

Minimum outer diameter:
Part A 26.970mm (1.0618in.)
B 32.470 mm (1.2783 in.)
C 33.090 mm (1.3028 in.)
D 29.970 mm (1.1799 in.)

If the outer diameter exceeds the minimum, replace the shaft.




c. Using a dial indicator, check the shaft runout.

Maximum runout: 0.050 mm (0.0020 in.)

If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the shaft.
