Minimum clearance: 0.7 mm (0.028 inch)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchronizer ring.
3. Inspect shift fork and hub sleeve clearance.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub sleeves and shift forks.
Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift fork or hub sleeve.
4. Inspect output shaft and inner race.
a. Using vernier calipers, measure the output shaft flange thickness.
Minimum thickness: 5.60 mm (0.2205 inch)
If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace the output shaft.
b. Using vernier calipers, measure the inner race flange thickness.
Minimum thickness: 4.78 mm (0.1881 inch)
