SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLY
13. INSTALLATION OF SYNCHRONIZER SPRING
Assemble the synchronizer spring so that its projection maybe engaged in the groove of the synchronizer key.
Take care to prevent the projections of the front and rearspring from sitting in the groove of the same key.
12. INSTALLATION OF 3RD-4TH SPEED SYNCHRONIZER
ASSEMBLY
(I) Install the synchronizer assembly so that the part that
has the small round indentation is in the oil groove atthe hub end.
NOTE
If the installation is in the opposite way, press-in mightnot be possible. This is because the edge of the hub
inner diameter spline at the part that has the small
round indentation is made to facilitate pressing in.
(2) Press the
3rd-4th speed synchronizer assembly onto
the input shaft using the special tool as illustrated.
CautionWhen installing the synchronizer assembly, make
sure that three synchronizer keys are seated cor-
rectly in respective grooves of the synchronizer
ring.(3) Check the 3rd speed gear rotates smoothly.
10. INSTALLATION OF BEARING SLEEVEUse the special tool as illustrated.

SNAP RING
Install the sub gear and cone spring to 4th gear, and theninstall the snap ring.
NOTE
Be sure that the cone spring is installed so that it is facing in
the correct direction.
4. INSTALLATION OF TAPER ROLLER BEARING
Install the taper roller bearing over the input shaft using the
special tool.3. REASSEMBLY OF SNAP RING
(1) Select thickest possible snap ring which can enter the
snap ring groove.Standard value: 0.01
- 0.09 mm (.0004 - .004 in.)
(2) Using a special tool, attach the snap ring to the input
shaft.
Caution1. Don’t reuse the old snap ring.
2. If snap ring pliers are used, the snap ring may
sometimes be expanded excessively. This will
prevent proper mounting of the sleeve.
