1998 HONDA CIVIC Gear oil

t
Inspection
1. Inspect the gear surfaces and the bearing surfaces
for wear and damage, then measure the counter-
shaft at points A, B, and C. lf any parts of the coun-
tershaft are less than the service limit. reDlace coun-
torshaft with a new one.
Standard:
A: 2/t.980 - 2{.993 mm (0.9835 - 0.9&O in}
B: 35.984 - 37.000 mm {1.4561 - 1.4567 in)
G: 33.fiD - 33.015 mm {1.2992 - 1.2998 in)
Sorvicc Limit:
Ar 2/t.9't0 mm 10.9819 inl
B: 36.930 mm {1.'l5qt in}
C: 32.950 mm {1.2972 in}
Insp€ct for wear
Inspect oil passage for clogging.
13-77
2. Insoect for runout. lf the runout is more than the
service limit, reolace the countershaft with a new
one.
Strndard: 0.02 mm {0.(x)08 in) max.
Servic. Limit 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
NOTE: SuoDort th€ countershaft at both ends as
shown.
Rotate lwo complelerevotutons.

Synchro Ring, Gear
Inspection
'1. Inspect the synchro ring and gear.
A: Inspect the inside of the synchro ring for wear'
B: Inspect the synchro sleeve teeth and matching
teeth on the synchro ring for wear (rounded off).
oo
GOOD WORN
C: Inspect the synchro sleeve teeth and matching
teeth on the gear for wear (rounded off).
nn
UUGOOO WORN
D: Inspect the gear hub thrust surface for wear.
E: Inspect the cone surface for wear and roughness.
F: Inspect the teeth on all gears for uneven wear,
scoring, galling, and cracks'
2. Coat the cone surface of the gear with oil, and place
the synchro ring on the matching gear. Rotate the
ring, making sure that it does not slip
Measure the clearance between the synchro ring
and gear allthe way around.
NOTE: Hold the synchro ring against the gear even-
ly while measuring the clearance.
Synchro Ring-to-Gear Clearance
Standard: 0.73 - 1.18 mm
(0.029 - 0.0'16 in)
Ssrvice Limit:0.,0 mm {0.02 in}
Double Cone Synchro-to-Geal Clearanc€
Standald:
@: (Outer Synchro Ring to Synchro Con6l
0.5 - 1.0 mm 10.02 - 0.04 in)
@: (Synchro cone to Gearl
0.5 - 1.0 mm (0.02 - 0.04 inl
O: {Outer Synchlo Ring to Gear)
0.95 - 1.68 mm (0.037 - 0.066 in)
Service Limit:
@: 0.3 mm {0.01 in}
@: 0.3 mm {0.01 in)
O: 0.6 mm t0'02 inl
lf the clearance is less than the service limit, replace
the synchro ring and sYnchro cone.
