The synchro hub that has no holes for the balls & springs (takes the three inserts with bumps and two wire springs) is longer thru its length, and is meant to be used with the 51A-7061 mainshaft (no pin).

As a side note, you can use the later style insert kit (3 inserts with bumps and 2 wire springs) on the earlier style hub ( the type that used the 3 balls & springs and the inserts with the holes in their center.

This is pictured clearly in our transmission book.

Mac,

Isn't it also true that you can use the later bumps/springs synchro (8M-7124) in place of the spring ball synchro (01A-7124) by leaving out the spacer 81A-7069?
