3.1. The reverse speed gear needle bearing assembly.
3.2. The reverse speed gear.
4. Install the 5th/Reverse speed gear synchronizer.
4.1. Check the scribe marks for the correct positions.
4.2. Position the spiral lock ring towards the reverse speed gear.
4.3. Manually align and engage the splines.
4.4. Use J 36183 and J 36184.
4.5. Press the synchronizer until seated.
4.6. Remove all the metal shavings.
5. Install a new mainshaft snap ring.
6. Install the following components:
6.1. The 5th speed gear needle bearing assembly
6.2. The synchronizer ring
