14. Shift Fork Clearance Inspection
Shift Fork Clearance InspectionNOTE: If replacement is required, always replace the synchro sleeve and hub as a set.
1. Measure the clearance between each shift fork (A) and its matching synchro sleeve (B). If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step 2.
2. Measure the thickness of the shift fork fingers (A).
^ If the thickness is less than the standard, replace the shift fork.
^ If the thickness is within the standard, replace the synchro sleeve and hub.
^ If one arm of the shift fork shows more wear than the others, the fork may be bent and needs to be replaced.
3. Measure the clearance between each shift fork, reverse shift piece, and shift arm A. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step 4.
4. Measure the width of shift arm A.
^ If the width is less than the service limit, replace shift arm A.
^ If the width is within the service limit, replace the shift fork or the reverse shift piece.
5. Measure the clearance between the 1-2 shift lever and each shift fork and shift piece. If the clearance exceeds the service limit, go to step 6.
6. Measure the width of the 1-2 shift lever.
^ If the width is less than the service limit, replace the 1-2 shift lever.
^ If the width is within the service limit, replace the shift fork or shift piece.
