Synchronizers Assemble (5th/Overdrive 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 5th speed gear assembly, with the gear side down, on the workbench.
- Slide the synchronizer sleeve on the synchronizer hub, with the tapered side of the sleeve towards the gear.
- Using a small screwdriver, install the 3 springs and the 3 inserts.
- Move the sleeve to the neutral position, to hold the springs and inserts in position.
