Install the synchronizer hub inserts and the hub insert springs. Verify that the spring tabs are positioned over the hub inserts.

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.

On the third/fourth speed synchronizer and the fifth speed synchronizer, install the sliding sleeve.
