d. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.
Minimum clearance: 0.6 mm (0.024 inch)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchronizer ring and gear cone by applying a small amount of fine lapping compound.
NOTICE: Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed off after rubbing.
2. Inspect shift fork and hub sleeve clearance. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub sleeve and shift fork.
Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch).
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift fork or hub sleeve.
3. Inspect input shaft, as follows:
a. Check the input shaft for wear or damage.
b. Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the input shaft journal surface.
Minimum outer diameter:
Part A: 24.870 mm (0.9791 inch)
Part B: 28.970 mm (1.1405 inch)
Part C: 30.970 mm (1.2193 inch)
Part D: 24.970 mm (0.9831 inch)
If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the input shaft.
c. Using a dial indicator, check the shaft runout.
Maximum runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch).
If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the input shaft.
