Cleaning and Inspection

SYNCHRONIZER

CLEAN
Do not attempt to clean the blocking rings in solvent. The friction material will become contaminated. Place synchronizer components in a suitable holder and clean with solvent. Air dry.

INSPECT
Proper inspection of components involve:
- Teeth, for wear, scuffed, nicked, burred, or broken teeth
- Keys, for wear or distortion
- Balls and springs, for distortion, cracks, or wear.

If any of these conditions exist in these components, replace as necessary.
