5. Engage lugs of spacer (A) in recesses (arrows) of synchro-hub.

6. Fit synchromeshed gear for 5th gear together with synchro-ring for 5th gear on locking collar/synchro-hub.
7. Secure locking collar with assembly clip T50030/2. [Note: To ensure that the assembly clip T50030/2 has sufficient clamping force also fit synchro-ring for 6th gear (B).Before and after pressing on, ensure that the spacer (A) is engaged in the recesses in the synchro-hub.]
