^ Loosening and tightening





Insert spring in sliding gear

- Insert spring (arrow) in sliding gear, hook angled end into hole.





Check synchro-ring for wear

- Press synchro-ring into locking collar and measure gap "a" with a feeler gauge at positions -A-, -B- and -C-.
- Add together results and divide by three.

^ The figure calculated must not be less than 0.5 mm





Re-determining thickness of circlip

- Press synchro-hub onto stop.

Note:
Note installation position when pressing on.

- Determine thickest circlip that can still just be fitted.

Note:
The opening of the circlip must align with the groove in the synchro-hub.

- Determine circlip from table.

Circlips available





- Fit circlip.





Press off synchro-hub for 3rd and 4th gear





Synchro-hub installation position

^ Oil groove in synchro hub (arrow -1-) must align with oil drilling -arrow 2- in input shaft





Press on synchro-hub for 3rd and 4th gear

- Heat synchro-hub to approx. 100° C, fit and press home.
- Fit circlip.





Drive spring pin into input shaft

- Guide a 9 mm diameter drift -A- into oil drilling and drive spring pin -B- in until it touches drift.
