1. Measure the clearance between 1st gear (A) and the distance collar (B) with a feeler gauge (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 2.

^ If the thickness is within the standard, go to step 3.





3. Measure the thickness of 1st gear.
^ If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 1st gear.
^ If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 1st/2nd synchro hub and sleeve.





4. Measure the clearance between 2nd gear (A) and 3rd gear (B) with a feeler gauge (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to step 5.





5. Measure the thickness of the distance collar.
^ If the thickness is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
^ If the thickness is within the standard, go to step 6.





6. Measure the thickness of 2nd gear.
^ If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 2nd gear.
