Inspect the thrust surface (D) on each gear hub for wear. Inspect the cone surface (E) on each gear hub for wear and roughness. Inspect the teeth on all gears (F) for uneven wear, scoring, galling and cracks. Coat the cone surface of each gear (E) with oil, and place its synchro ring on it. Rotate the synchro ring, making sure that it does not slip.

Measure the clearance between each gear (A) and its synchro ring (B) all the way around. Hold the synchro ring against the gear evenly while measuring the clearance. If the clearance is less than the service limit, replace the synchro ring and gear. Synchro Ring-to-Gear Clearance Standard: 0.85 - 1.10 mm (0.033 - 0.043 in.) Service Limit: 0.4 mm (0.016 in.) Double Cone Synchro-to-Gear Clearance Standard: 1: Outer Synchro Ring (B) to Synchro Cone (C)   0.5 - 1.0 mm (0.02 - 0.04 in.) 2: Synchro Cone (C) to Gear (A)   0.5 - 1.0 mm (0.02 - 0.04 in.) 3: Outer Synchro Ring (B) to Gear (A)   0.95 - 1.68 mm (0.037 - 0.066 in.)     Service Limit: 1: 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) 2: 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) 3: 0.6 mm (0.02 in.)
