Triple Cone Synchronizer (2nd)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check the clearance of the outer baulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner baulk ring of the 2nd triple cone synchronizers, using the following procedure.
CAUTION: The outer baulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner baulk ring operate as a set to control the clearances "A", "B", and "C". If the measured clearances exceed the service limit value, replace the components as a set.

NOTE: To calculate the mean value of two or more measured values, add the highest and lowest measured values and divide by two.

Press the baulk ring on to the clutch gear taper cone by hand, then measure the clearance "A" at two or more points diagonally opposite with a feeler gauge, and then calculate the mean value.
Clearance "A"

Standard : 0.6 - 1.2 mm (0.024 - 0.047 in)

Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in)

Measure clearances "B" at two or more points diagonally opposite with a feeler gauge, and then calculate the mean value.
Clearance "B"

Standard : 0.6 - 1.1 mm (0.024 - 0.043 in)

Limit : 0.2 mm (0.008 in)

Press the baulk ring on to the clutch gear taper cone by hand, then measure the clearance "C" at two or more points diagonally opposite with a feeler gauge, and then calculate the mean value.
Clearance "C"

Standard : 0.7 - 1.1 mm (0.028 - 0.043 in)

Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
