Inspection
1st/2nd synchronizer outer cone and 3rd/4th blocker ring are lined with friction material and cannot be checked visually for wear. Replacement is necessary when gap between blocker teeth and adjacent clutch teeth is significantly more than specified. 5th gear blocker ring is brass and can be checked visually for wear and damage.

Ensure blocker rings are correctly identified before assembly. 1st/2nd synchronizer blocker ring does not have friction material, the 3rd/4th blocker ring does have friction material. Assembling one in place of the other will result in serious damage to the transmission.

Inspect 5th gear blocker ring for wear and damage.
