Shift Forks Clearance Inspection

13-22  

NOTE: The synchro sleeve and synchro hub should be replaced as a set.

  1. Measure the clearance between each shift fork (A) and its matching synchro sleeve (B). If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step 2.

Standard:

0.-35 – 0.65 mm (0.014 – 0.026 in.)

Service Limit:

1.0 mm (0.039 in.)

  1. Measure the thickness of the shift fork fingers.
  • If the thickness of the shift fork finger is less than the standard, replace the shift fork with a new one.
  • If the thickness of the shift fork finger is within the standard, replace the synchro sleeve with a new one.

Standard:

1st/2nd, 3rd /4th, shift forks:

7.4 – 7.6 mm

(0.29 – 0.30 in.)

5th shift forks:

6.7 – 6.9 mm

(0.26 – 0.27 in.)


  1. Measure the clearance between the shift fork (A) and the shift arm (B). If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step 4.

Standard:

0.-2 – 0.5 mm (0.008 – 0.020 in.)

Service Limit:

0.62 mm (0.024 in.)


  1. Measure the width of the shift arm.
  • If the width of the shift arm is less than the standard, replace the shift arm with a new one.
  • If the width of the shift arm is within the standard, replace the shift fork or shift piece with a new one.

Standard:

12.9 – 13.0 mm

(0.508 – 0.512 in.)
