Synchronizers Assemble (Reverse Speed Gear)





Important:
^ Only disassemble the synchronizer sleeve from the synchronizer hub if there is a suspected gear shift concern.
^ For installation alignment, scribe an alignment mark on the synchronizer hubs and synchronizer sleeves before disassembling.
^ Mark the synchronizers clutch gears and the blocking rings with the corresponding gear, for correct diagnostic inspections.
^ Install the synchronizer components in the same location, if reusing.

1. Lay the reverse speed gear assembly, with the reverse gear down, on the workbench.
2. Slide the synchronizer sleeve on the synchronizer hub.
^ Align the sleeve to the hub.
^ The sleeve will fit in only one direction on the hub.
^ The tapered side of the sleeve faces toward reverse gear.

3. Using a small screwdriver, install the 3 springs and the 3 inserts.
4. Move the sleeve to the neutral position, to hold the springs and inserts in position.
