Clearance Inspection
Measure the clearance between the reverse shift
holder and the 5th/reverse shift piece pin
Standard:
Revsrs. Sids: 0.05 - 0./t5 mm {0'002 - 0.018 in}
5th Side: 0.4 - 0.9 mm (0.02 - 0.0'l in)
sTH/REVERSE SHIFT PIECE PIN
lf the clearance are not within the standard, mea-
sure the width of the grooves in the reverse shift
holder.
Standard:
Rsvers€ Side: 7.05 - 7.25 mm (0'278 - 0.285 in)
5th Sid6: 7.,1- 7.7 mm (0.29 - 0 30 inl
REVERSE SIDE
lf ths width of the grooves are not within the
standard, replace the reverse shift holder with a
new one.
lf the width of the grooves are within the stan-
dard, replace the sth/reverse shift piece with a
new one {cont'd)

'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.

NOTE;
. Use a straight edge and depth gauge.. Measure at three locations and average the read-ings.
Select the prcpet 72 mm thrust shim from the chartby using the formula below.
NOTE: Us€ only one 72 mm thrust sntm.
Shim Selection Formula:
From the measurements you made in steps 4 and 5:. Add distance O lstep 5) to distance @ (step 4).
. From this number, subtract 0.93 (which is themidpoint of the flex range of the clutch housingbearing spring washer).
. Take this number and compare it to the availableshim sizes in the chart.
{For example)
B;2.39
+ C: 0.22- 0.93
2.61 = 1.68
Try the 1.68 mm (0.0661 in) shim.
