Synchronizer rings  
     
Do not interchange synchronizer rings. When 
reusing always fit to the same gear. 
     Check for wear, replace if necessary.
     Lubricate with gear oil before installing.
     
Clutch mechanism  
     When removing transmission, remove clutch 
slave cylinder without disconnecting lines. 
     If the slave cylinder is removed with the 
hydraulic line attached, do not depress clutch 
pedal. Otherwise the piston will be pressed out 
of the slave cylinder. 
     Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight: 
loosen and tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence 
and in several gradual stages. 
     To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, 
thoroughly clean the clutch bellhousing, the 
flywheel and the parts of the engine facing the 
transmission.
