M/T Mainshaft Assembly Clearance Inspection

NOTE: If replacement is required, always replace the synchro sleeve and hub as a set.

1.Support the bearing inner race with an appropriate sized socket (A), and push down on the mainshaft (B).

 

2.Measure the clearance between 2nd gear (C) and 3rd gear (D) with a feeler gauge (E).

  • If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to 3.
  • If the clearance is within the service limit, go to 4.

Standard: 0.06-0.21 mm (0.002-0.008 in.) 
Service Limit: 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) 


3.Measure the thickness of 3rd gear.

  • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 3rd gear.
  • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub.

Standard: 27.02-27.07 mm (1.064-1.066 in.) 
Service Limit: 26.95 mm (1.061 in.) 

 

4.Measure the clearance between 4th gear (A) and the distance collar (B) with a dial indicator (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to 5.

Standard: 0.06-0.19 mm (0.002-0.007 in.) 
Service Limit: 0.28 mm (0.011 in.) 

 

5.Measure distance (1) on the distance collar.

  • If distance (1) is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
  • If distance (1) is within the standard, go to 6.

Standard: 22.53-22.56 mm (0.887-0.888 in.) 

 

6.Measure the thickness of 4th gear.

  • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 4th gear.
  • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 3rd/4th synchro hub.

Standard: 25.52-25.57 mm (1.005-1.007 in.) 
Service Limit: 25.45 mm (1.002 in.) 

 

7.Measure the clearance between the distance collar (A) and 5th gear (B) with a dial indicator (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, go to 8.

Standard: 0.06-0.14 mm (0.002-0.006 in.) 
Service Limit: 0.23 mm (0.009 in.) 

 

8.Measure distance (2) on the distance collar.

  • If distance (2) is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
  • If distance (2) is within the standard, go to 9.

Standard: 22.53-22.56 mm (0.887-0.888 in.) 

 


9.Measure the thickness of 5th gear.

  • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 5th gear.
  • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 5th synchro hub.

Standard: 27.62-27.67 mm (1.087-1.089 in.) 
Service Limit: 22.35 mm (0.880 in.) 

 

10.Measure the clearance between the 6th gear (A) and angular ball bearing (B) with a feeler gauge (C). If the clearance is more than the service limit, Go to 11.

Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.002-0.006 in.) 
Service Limit: 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) 

 

11.Measure the thickness of the distance collar.

  • If the thickness is not within the standard, replace the distance collar.
  • If the thickness of distance collar is within the standard, Go to 12.

Standard: 24.03-24.08 mm (0.946-0.948 in.) 

 

12.Measure the thickness of 6th gear.


  • If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace 6th gear.
  • If the thickness is within the service limit, replace the 5th/6th synchro hub.

Standard: 23.92-23.97 mm (0.941-0.944 in.) 
Service Limit: 23.85 mm (0.939 in.)
