Synchronizer rings
Do not interchange synchronizer rings. When
reusing always fit to the same gear.
Check for wear, replace if necessary.
Lubricate with gear oil before installing.
Clutch mechanism
When removing transmission, remove clutch
slave cylinder without disconnecting lines.
If the slave cylinder is removed with the
hydraulic line attached, do not depress clutch
pedal. Otherwise the piston will be pressed out
of the slave cylinder.
Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight:
loosen and tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence
and in several gradual stages.
To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch,
thoroughly clean the clutch bellhousing, the
flywheel and the parts of the engine facing the
transmission.
