Bulk Ring Clearance: Notes

Triple-cone synchronizer (1st and 2nd) 

• Check the clearance between outer bulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner bulk ring as follows.
  CAUTION: The clearances "A", "B", and "C" 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.

1. Measure the clearance "A" at 2 points or more diagonally opposite using a feeler gauge when pressing bulk ring toward clutch gear taper cone. And then calculate mean value.

   Clearance "A" 

   Standard value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

   Limit value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

2. Measure the clearance "B" at 2 points or more diagonally opposite using a feeler gauge. And then calculate mean value.

   Clearance "B" 

   Standard value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

   Limit value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

3. Measure the clearance "C" at 2 points or more diagonally opposite using a feeler gauge when pressing bulk ring toward clutch gear taper cone. And then calculate mean value.

   Clearance "C" 

   Standard value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".

   Limit value : Refer to  "BULK RING CLEARANCE ".
