ABSTRACT:
A synchronizer shimming kit adapted for assembly and mounting about a transmission shaft having a synchronizer assembly mounted thereon in operable combination with a gear mesh. The shimming kit of the present invention includes an annular member and a shim package including a plurality of individual shims adapted to be positioned about the transmission shaft between the annular member and a gear of the gear mesh having the synchronizer assembly arranged in combination therewith. The annular member is releasably fixed to the shaft a measurable distance from the gear of the gear mesh. The shim package and annular member combine to define a cumulative distance between opposite sides thereof. The cumulative distance of the shimming kit is initially greater than the measurable distance the annular member is spaced from a side surface of the gear. A salient feature of the present invention is that individual shims of the shim package are,, removable from the package and from about the shaft thereby yielding a high degree of control over the operating clearance for the synchronizer assembly without requiring disassembly of the gear meshes and the synchronizer assembly from about the transmission shaft.
