Disassembly And Assembly Of Subassemblies: Synchronizers: Assembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Assemble the synchronizer as follows:
- Position the synchronizer sleeve on the hub. Make sure to align key openings in the hub with the synchronizer sleeve.
- Install the keys with the slots facing the hub.
- Install the spring. Locate the tang to one of the key slots and position into place. Holding the sleeve and hub, turn the assembly over and install the second spring. Locate the spring tang on a key 120 degrees from the first spring.
CAUTION:
Match the index marks made during disassembly. The sleeve and the hub have an extremely close fit. Hold the sleeve and hub square to prevent jamming. Do not force the sleeve onto the hub or damage to the components may occur.
