<VV> Reply> Transmission Synchro Key spring

[BBRT]

Each of the keys has a slot on the inside. Each end of inside of each of 
three keys has a raised area (which goes toward the center of the synchro). 
(The other side of the key has a raised area in the center which goes 
against the inside splines on the shifter fork selector "ring"-the outer 
part of the synchro assy.).  One end of the wire spring goes in the slot of 
one key beneath the end "bump"-closer to the center of the key and the web 
of the synchro . The rest of the wire rides below the end bumps on the other 
two keys.  The other side of the synchro is the same.  A spring wire on both 
sides.  I stagger the end of the wire with the bent piece so it goes in a 
different key.

Does this help?
