Bulk Ring Clearance: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Single-cone synchronizer (4th, 5th, and 6th)
Push bulk ring on the cone and measure the clearance between bulk ring and cone. If measurement is below limit, replace it with a new one.

Clearance

Standard value : Refer to "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

Limit value : Refer to "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

Double-cone synchronizer (3rd)
Check the clearance between outer bulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner bulk ring as follows.

CAUTION: The clearances "A" and "B" are controlled with outer bulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner bulk ring as a set. Replace them as a set if the clearances are outside the limit value.
