Clearance Inspection

CLEARANCE INSPECTION

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





1. Measure the clearance between each shift fork and its matching synchro sleeve.
- Standard: 0.35 - 0.65 mm (0.014 - 0.026 inch).
- Service Limit: 1.00 mm (0.039 inch).





2. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, 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.





3. Measure the clearance between the shift fork and the shift arm.
- Standard: 0.2 - 0.5 mm (0.008-0.019 inch).
- Service Limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 inch).





4. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, 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.
