| 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. |

| Synchronizer body pressed up to the stop. |
| –
| Determine the thickest circlip - that can be fitted - and insert. |

Note | 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. |
