INSPECTION

Disassembled parts should be washed with cleaning solvent first, then inspected carefully.
1) Bearing
Replace the bearings in the following cases.
^ When the bearing balls, outer races and inner races are broken or rusty.
^ When the bearing is worn.
^ When the bearings fail to turn smoothly or emit noise in rotation after gear oil lubrication.
^ Check the roller bearing or ball bearing on the rear side of the drive pinion shaft rotates smoothly before disassembling the drive pinion assembly. In this case, because a preload is working on the bearing, its rotation feels like it is slightly dragging unlike other bearings.





^ When bearing has other defects.
2) Bushing (each gear)
Replace the bushing in following cases.
^ When the sliding surface is damaged or abnormally worn.
^ When the inner wall is abnormally worn.
3) Gear
Replace gears in the following cases.
^ Replace the gear with new part if its tooth surfaces are broken, damaged or excessively worn.
^ Correct or replace if the cone that contacts the baulk ring is rough or damaged.
^ Correct or replace if the inner surface or end face is damaged.
4) Baulk ring
Replace the synchronizer in following case:
^ When the inner surface and end face are damaged.
^ When the ring inner surface is abnormally or partially worn down.
^ If the gap between the end faces of the synchro ring and the gear splined part is excessively small, check the clearance (A) while pressing the ring against the cone.

Clearance (A):
0.5 mm (0.020 in) or more





^ When the contact surface of the synchronizer ring insert section is scratched or abnormally worn.
^ Apply gear oil to the cone of the gear and while press-fitting the synchronizer ring, check there is no rotation in the circumferential direction.
5) Coupling sleeve and synchronizer hub
^ Check the slipping condition of the coupling sleeve.
^ Check the splines on the coupling sleeve and synchronizer hub for wear.
6) Shifting insert
Replace the shifting insert if there is deformation, excessive wear on the ball section or any defectiveness.





7) Oil seal
Replace the oil seal if the lip is deformed, hardened, worn or defective in any way.

ADJUSTMENT

THRUST BEARING PRELOAD

1) Select a suitable adjusting washer No. 1 so that dimension (H) will be zero in a visual check. Position the washer (20 � 31 � 4) and lock washer (20 � 31 � 2.3) and attach the lock nut (20 � 11).





2) Using the ST1, ST2 and ST3, tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

NOTE:
^ Use new lock nuts and lock washers.
^ Install the lock washer in the correct direction.

Tightening torque:
126 Nm (12.8 kgf-m, 92.9 ft-lb)

ST2 18667AA020 HOLDER
ST3 18662AA010 SOCKET (27)





3) After removing the ST2 used in step 2), measure the starting torque using torque driver.

Starting torque:
0.3 - 0.8 Nm (0.03 - 0.08 kgf-m, 0.2 - 0.6 ft-lb)

ST1 18680AA020 HOLDER
ST3 18662AA010 SOCKET (27)





4) If the starting torque is not within the specified limit, select new adjusting washer No. 1 and recheck starting torque.








5) If the specified starting torque cannot be obtained by the selection of adjusting washer No. 1, select adjusting washer No. 2 from the list below.
Repeat steps 1) through 4) to adjust starting torque.











6) Recheck that the starting torque is within the specified range, and crimp the lock nut at two locations so that the dimension (B) becomes 20.1 mm (0.79 in) or less.

CAUTION:
When crimping the lock nut, be careful not to crack it.
