Diesel and gasoline-engine vehicles are fitted with different gear wheels
(with the exception of the gear wheels for 1st gear and reverse gear).

In order to distinguish between these gear wheels, those for diesel vehicles
(with the exception of the gear wheels for 1st gear and reverse gear) have a groove (arrow) in the teeth.

When pressing on new synchronizer bodies, swarf may be produced and this must be removed:

Use compressed air to blow off the main shaft.

New synchronizer units are supplied already assembled.

Only if necessary:

7 Assemble new synchronizer unit:

7.1 Push sliding sleeve (17) onto 1st/2nd gear synchronizer body (18).

The inscription on the synchronizer body (18) must face upwards. The orientation groove (arrow at top) on the sliding sleeve must point downwards.

When pushing on the sliding sleeve (17), align it to ensure that the balls (21) will subsequently engage in the center groove of the sliding sleeve teeth (arrow).

7.2 Install wide sliders (20), compression springs (19) and balls (21) in 1st/2nd gear synchronizer body (18).

9 Determine thickness of locking ring (16):


- Insert trial locking ring (thickness: 1.5 mm) using pliers and press all the way down (towards the input end).

- Measure distance between trial locking ring and top edge of groove in main shaft using feeler gauge.

- Thickness of locking ring = measured value + 1.5 mm (trial locking ring).

- Remove trial locking ring using pliers.

10 Use pliers to install new locking ring (16) of the determined thickness
(increments: 0.05 mm).

Do not over-expand the locking ring. Ensure that the locking ring is properly seated.
