Synchronizers Disassemble




Synchronizers Disassemble

1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th Synchronizers

Important: Synchronizer components are not interchangeable. Keep all the synchronizer components separate. The synchronizer hubs and the sliding sleeves are a selected assembly. Keep the hubs and the sliding sleeves together as originally assembled.




1. Scribe a mark on the synchronizer hub and on the sleeve. This will help you to reinstall the parts in the same position.




2. Remove the synchronizer inserts from the hub.

Reverse Synchronizer




1. Scribe a mark on the synchronizer hub and on the sleeve. This will help you to reinstall the parts in the same position.




2. Remove the synchronizer sleeve from the hub. Press against the inner hub.
3. Turn the hub over. The inserts will slide out from the hub.




4. Using a small-blade screwdriver, remove the synchronizer key retainer, and discard.
