Output Shaft: Assembly

Carry out the following before reassembling:
- Inspect the gears for broken or cracked teeth. Check for unusual wear patterns.
- Inspect the thrust washers for face wear, cracks, scoring and for signs of heat damage.
- Inspect the bearings, bearing cups and the synchronizers for wear or damage.
- Inspect the output shaft for scoring or worn or damaged splines. Install new components as necessary.
Lubricate all components with the recommended transmission fluid when reassembling.

NOTE: Position the output shaft with the output end facing upward.

NOTE: Install the synchronizer assembly with the deeper center flange of the synchronizer hub facing toward the rear of the output shaft.

Install the first/second synchronizer assembly on the output shaft, then install a new retaining ring.
- It may be necessary to press the hub into position on the shaft.
