  2. Measure the clearance between 2nd gear (C) and 3rd gear (D) with a feeler gauge (E).
    • If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step  3.
    • If the clearance is within the service limit, go to step  4.

      Service Limit: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in) 

  3. Measure the thickness of 3rd gear.
    • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 3rd gear.
    • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub and the 3rd/4th synchro sleeve as a set.

      Standard: 27.02-27.07 mm (1.0638-1.0657 in)

  4. Measure the clearance between 4th gear (A) and the 4th/5th gear distance collar (B) with a dial indicator (C).
    • If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step  5.
    • If the clearance is within the service limit, go to step  7.

      Standard: 0.06-0.19 mm (0.0024-0.0075 in) 

      Service Limit: 0.28 mm (0.0110 in)

  5. Measure distance (1) of the 4th/5th gear distance collar as shown.
    • If the length (1) is not within the standard, replace the 4th/5th gear distance collar.
    • If the length (1) is within the standard, go to step  6.

      Standard: 22.53-22.56 mm (0.8870-0.8882 in)

  6. Measure the thickness of 4th gear.
    • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 4th gear.
    • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub and the 3rd/4th synchro sleeve as a set.

      Standard: 25.52-25.57 mm (1.0047-1.0067 in) 

      Service Limit: 25.45 mm (1.0020 in)

  7. Measure the clearance between the 4th/5th gear distance collar (A) and 5th gear (B) with a dial indicator (C).
    • If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step  8.
    • If the clearance is within the service limit, go to step  10.

      Standard: 0.06-0.14 mm (0.0024-0.0055 in) 

      Service Limit: 0.23 mm (0.0091 in)

  8. Measure the length (2) of the 4th/5th gear distance collar as shown.
    • If the length (2) is not within the standard, replace the 4th/5th gear distance collar.
    • If the length (2) is within the standard, go to step  9.

      Standard: 22.53-22.56 mm (0.8870-0.8882 in)

  9. Measure the thickness of 5th gear.
    • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 5th gear.
    • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 5th/6th synchro hub and the 5th/6th synchro sleeve as a set.

      Standard: 22.42-22.47 mm (0.8827-0.8846 in) 

      Service Limit: 22.35 mm (0.8799 in)

  10. Measure the clearance between 6th gear (A) and the angular ball bearing inner race (B) with a dial indicator (C). If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step  11.

    Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.0024-0.0063 in) 

    Service Limit: 0.25 mm (0.0098 in)
