-  Check bearing to ensure it is complete:
1 - Flange ring (tapered contact surface to tapered rollers)
2 - Tapered rollers (Qty. 23) with larger diameter facing towards drive 
pinion head
3 - Support ring (tapered contact surface to tapered rollers)
4 - Corrugated spring
5 - Circlip for tapered roller bearing for drive pinion
    
Note:  
Because of the type of fit, it may be possible to press gear off easily.   -  Press off 6th speed gear. 
-  Take hollow shaft or drive pinion and hollow shaft with selector rod and 
selector fork for 1st and 2nd gear out of bearing plate.

-  Fit relay lever -A- for reverse gear onto bolt for relay lever. Watch 
position of pin when doing this (limits relay lever travel to synchro-ring). 
-  Insert sliding gear -B- and engage relay lever with groove on sliding 
gear. 
- Insert synchro-ring -C-. 
   Installation position: position flat on circumference of synchro-ring 
towards input shaft (not as yet fitted) (arrow -1-) 
- Insert spring.
   Installation position: hook single angled end into recess on synchro-
ring (arrow -2-). Turn double angled end anti-clockwise and hook into 
opening in bearing plate (arrow -3-)

Note:  -  Line up markings (arrow -3-) on paired synchro-hub -A- and locking 
collar for 5th and 6th gear (arrow -1-). 
-  Fit locking collar (arrow -1-) with selector fork (arrow -2-) onto synchro-
hub -A- as well as follower for 5th and 6th gear -B- onto selector rod -
C- at the same time. 
Selector fork rib (arrow -2-) must face towards shaft end. When sliding follower onto selector rod for 5th and 6th gear remember 
holes for roll pin. 
    
Note:  
Do not drive in roll pin, otherwise selector rod mounting will be damaged.  -  Press in roll pin -A- flush.
