  • Maximum inside diameter:
  • 60.040 mm (2.3638 in.)

If the inside diameter exceeds the maximum, replace the 2nd gear.


5. INSPECT NO. 3 TRANSMISSION HUB SLEEVE
Counter Gear And Reverse Idler Gear - Inspection. RA63 MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Using vernier calipers, measure the width of the No. 3 transmission hub sleeve groove (A) and the thickness of the claw part on the No. 4 gear shift fork (B), and calculate the clearance.

  • Standard clearance (A - B):
  • 0.26 to 0.84 mm (0.0102 to 0.0331 in.)

If the clearance is not as specified, replace the No. 3 transmission hub sleeve and No. 4 gear shift fork.


6. INSPECT NO. 1 TRANSMISSION HUB SLEEVE
Counter Gear And Reverse Idler Gear - Inspection. RA63 MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Check the sliding condition between the No. 1 transmission clutch hub and No. 1 transmission hub sleeve.

Check that the spline gear teeth of the No. 1 transmission hub sleeve are not worn.

Using vernier calipers, measure the width of the No. 1 transmission hub sleeve groove (A) and the thickness of the claw part on the No. 1 gear shift fork (B), and calculate the clearance.

  • Standard clearance (A - B):
  • 0.15 to 0.35 mm (0.0059 to 0.0138 in.)

If the clearance is not as specified, replace the No. 1 transmission hub sleeve and the No. 1 gear shift fork.


7. INSPECT NO. 4 SYNCHRONIZER RING

Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring and reverse gear.

  • Standard clearance:
  • 0.70 to 1.30 mm (0.0276 to 0.0512 in.)
  • Minimum clearance:
  • 0.70 mm (0.0276 in.)

If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchronizer ring.
