Ford Mustang (1999-2004) Service Manual: Synchronizers
Disassembly
NOTE: This procedure applies to all synchronizer assemblies (7124). The synchronizers are slightly different in design. Notation is made where procedural differences occur.
1. On the third/fourth speed synchronizer and the fifth speed synchronizer, scribe an alignment mark on the sliding sleeve and the hub for assembly reference.
2. NOTE: Only the synchronizer hub insert springs (7109) and the synchronizer hub inserts (7A044) are available separately.
Remove the synchronizer hub inserts and the hub insert springs.
3. The first/second speed synchronizer sliding sleeve, the hub, and the output shaft are an assembly. Do not attempt to separate the hub from the output shaft. Discard the entire assembly if wear or damage to the synchronizer or output shaft is evident.
4. On the third/fourth speed synchronizer and the fifth speed synchronizer, remove the sliding sleeve.
Assembly
1. NOTE: Both synchronizer hub insert springs engage the same synchronizer hub insert but rotate in the opposite direction.
NOTE: The third/fourth speed synchronizer uses the winged synchronizer hub inserts.
Install the synchronizer hub inserts and the hub insert springs. Verify that the spring tabs are positioned over the hub inserts.
2. 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.

Air Distribution
NOTE: The air distribution system of this vehicle cannot be equipped
with a cabin air filter.
There are two sources of air available to the air distribution system:
outside air
recirculated air
Recirculated air is only used during MAX A/C.

Leakage Inspection
CAUTION: Do not try to stop the fluid leak by increasing the torque
beyond specifications.
This may cause damage to the case threads.
Check the fluid filler tube connection at the transmission case. If
leakage is found here, install a new
grommet.
