Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Testing and Inspection

Shift Control Components





^ Check contact surface and sliding surface for wear, scratches, projections or other damage.

Gear Components








GEARS AND SHAFTS
^ Check shafts for cracks, wear or bending.
^ Check gears for excessive wear, chips or cracks.





SYNCHRONIZERS
^ Check spline portion of coupling sleeves, hubs, and gears for wear or cracks.
^ Check baulk rings for cracks or deformation.
^ Check shifting inserts for wear or deformation.
^ Check insert springs for deformation.





Clearance between baulk ring and gear





If the clearance is smaller than the wear limit, replace baulk ring.





^ Measure wear of reverse baulk ring.
a. Place baulk ring in position on reverse cone.
b. While holding baulk ring against reverse cone as far as it will go, measure dimension "A" with dial indicator.





c. If dimension "A" is larger than the wear limit, replace baulk ring.





BEARINGS
^ Make sure bearings roll freely and are free from noise, cracks, pitting or wear.
