Transaxle Inspection
1. Thoroughly clean and dry all parts.
2. Use emery cloth to remove nicks and burrs from all
parts.
3. Inspect synchronizer ring:
A. Inspect the chamfer for excessive wear or dam-
age.
B. Inspect inner tapered area for excessive wear or
damage.
C. Measure the clearance between synchronizer
ring and synchro gear in three equally spaced
points. If clearance is less than 0.5 mm (.0195 in.)
replace the synchronizer ring.
4. Inspect synchro gears:
A. Inspect the cone surface for roughness, material
transfer (brass color material) or damage.
B. Inspect the spline chamfer for excessive chip
ping or damage.
C. Inspect I.D. of synchro gear for excessive wear
or scoring. If synchro gears have the following I.D.,
replace the synchro gear.
22T, 25T, 40T
I.D. exceeds 26.08 mm (1.027 in.)
49T
I.D. exceeds 29.08 mm (1.145 in.)
5. On 4WD units, inspect 41T gear and front drive shaft
(Fig. 70):
A. Inspect gear teeth for roughness, material trans
fer (brass color material) or damage.
B. Inspect spline chamfer for excessive chipping or
damage.
C. Inspect I.D. of gear for excessive wear or scor
ing. Gear should fit snuggly on shaft.
