1G Check Syncro Clearance

[Generation1JeY]

Am i correct in thinking there is a way to check your syncro wear via feeler gauge clearance or something related to that?

Anyway i have a tranny apart that i got recently for cheap from an unknown seller and i have no way of knowing the condition of the syncros. I've taken everything apart and everything in the tranny looks good, now i just need to find a way to check the syncros without taking the input shaft and intermediate shaft apart because i dont have a press, and i really don't wanna deal with taking more gears apart.

Isn't there a way to just check the wear on the syncros by having the shafts out? Any help appreciated.

Thank You.

Yes, that's how you check for synchro wear.

Check here, it's not as detailed as the factory manual though... which can be located here:

No problem... I hope to be rebuilding my own tranny shortly. Be sure to save these.
