Fig. 1  Inserting spring in sliding gear
-  Insert spring (arrow) in sliding gear, hook angled end into hole.
    
Fig. 2  Checking synchro-ring for wear
-  Press synchro-ring into locking collar and measure gap "a" with a feeler 
gauge at positions -A-, -B- and -C-. 
-  Add together results and divide by three.
 
The figure calculated must not be less than 0.5 mm
