Insert spring in sliding gear The looped end of the spring -arrow- must engage in the hole in the sliding gear.

Check synchronizer ring for wear –  Press synchronizer ring into sliding sleeve and measure the size of gap -a- with a feeler gauge at positions -A-, -B- and -C-. –  Add up the measurements and divide by 3. The resulting value should not be less than 0.5 mm.

Determining the circlip l  Synchronizer body pressed up to the stop. –  Determine the thickest circlip - that can be fitted - and insert.   Note The opening in the circlip must be in line with the groove in the synchronizer body. Assign circlip via → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts. The following circlips are available:

Circlip thickness (mm)
1,90	1,96	2,02
1,93	1,99	2,05

Press off synchronizer body for 3rd and 4th gear

Fitting position of synchronizer body Oil groove in synchronizer body -arrow 1- must be in line with the oil drilling -arrow 2- in the drive shaft.

Press on synchronizer body for 3rd and 4th gear –  Heat synchronizer body to approx. 100 °C, place in position and press on. –  Determine the circlip required, and mount it → Fig..

Drive tensioning sleeve into drive shaft –  Insert -A- Ø 9 mm drift pin into oil drilling and drive in tensioning sleeve -B- till it meets the drift pin.
