Synchronizers Assemble (1st/2nd Speed Gear)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Only disassemble the synchronizer sleeve from the synchronizer hub if there is a suspected gear shift concern.
- For installation alignment, scribe an alignment mark on the synchronizer hubs and synchronizer sleeves before disassembling.
- Mark the synchronizers clutch gears and the blocking rings with the corresponding gear, for correct diagnostic inspections.
- Install the synchronizer components in the same location, if reusing.
- Lay the 1st/2nd speed gear assembly on the 1st speed gear synchronizer inner and middle rings. The rings will hold the hub up.
- Slide the synchronizer sleeve on the synchronizer hub.
- Align the sleeve to the hub.
- The sleeve will fit in only one direction on the hub.
- The tapered side of the sleeve faces up, or toward second gear.
- Using a small screwdriver, install the 4 springs and the 4 inserts.
- Move the sleeve to the neutral position, to hold the springs and inserts in position.
