Disassembly and Assembly
NOTE: This procedure applies to all synchronizer assemblies.
1. Scribe an alignment mark on the sliding sleeve and the hub for assembly reference.
2. Remove the sliding sleeve, then remove the synchronizer struts and the springs.

3. Install the synchronizer struts and the springs.
4. CAUTION: Match the alignment marks made during disassembly. The sleeve and the hub have an extremely close fit. Hold the sleeve and hub square to prevent jamming. Do not force the sleeve onto the hub.
