Disassembly And Assembly Of Subassemblies: Synchronizers: Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Match the alignment marks make during disassembly. The sleeve and the hub have an extremely close fit. Hold the sleeve and hub square to prevent jamming. Do not force the sleeve onto the hub.

Assemble the synchronizer as follows:
- Position the synchronizer sleeve on the hub. Make sure to align key openings in the hub with the synchronizer sleeve.
- Install the keys with the slots facing the hub.
- Install the spring. Locate the tang to one of the key slots and position into place. Install the second spring. Locate the spring tank on the same key but position in the opposite direction.
