  2. Install intermediate shaft in synchronizer assembly. Lubricate synchronizer drive gear with engine oil. Arrow on synchro positioner should point from centerline of engine. See Fig 1 . Insert synchronizer assembly into engine.
  3. While inserting, synchronizer assembly will rotate. Install and tighten hold-down clamp. When installed, synchro positioner should point 33-45 degrees from engine centerline. If synchro positioner is not pointing in correct direction, remove synchronizer assembly and start again from step 1). If installed correctly, remove synchro positioner.
  4. Install CMP sensor and tighten screws to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Connect CMP sensor harness connector and negative battery cable.
