>>O<< Synchronizer Ring Installation

CAUTION: There is a 5th speed synchronizer ring and a reverse synchronizer ring. Be careful not to confuse the two when installing, as a mistake can effect the shift feeling.
  1. Check for the presence of identification notches on the synchronizer ring.

    No notches: 5th speed synchronizer ring

    Six notches: Reverse synchronizer ring < F5M42>

    Three notches: Reverse synchronizer ring < F5M51>

  2. Install the synchronizer ring so that it does not incline toward the cone of the gear.
