Installation position of synchro-hub for 5th and 6th gear:  
Side with projecting face (arrow -1-) faces shaft end The oil drilling of the input shaft (arrow -2-) and the oil groove of the 
synchro-hub (arrow -3-) are in line 
    
- 
Heat synchro-hub for 5th and 6th gear to approx. 100 C, fit and drive 
on; ensure there is no play. -  Check 6th speed sliding gear for axial play.

Note:  -  Line up markings (arrow -3-) on paired synchro-hub -A- and locking 
collar for 5th and 6th gear (arrow -1-). 
-  Fit locking collar (arrow -1-) with selector fork (arrow -2-) onto synchro-
hub -A- as well as follower for 5th and 6th gear -B- onto selector rod -
C- at the same time. 
Selector fork rib (arrow -2-) must face towards shaft end. When sliding follower onto selector rod for 5th and 6th gear remember 
holes for roll pin. 
    
Note:  
Do not drive in roll pin, otherwise selector rod mounting will be damaged.  -  Press in roll pin -A- flush.
