just changed the synchronizer out on my 05 ranger 3.0 and this helped me understand that as long I marked the old synchronizer and put the new one in the exact same way i’m good to go! car’s running fine and no CEL. at first I only changed the sensor but the CEL came back on after a month so I changed the synchronizer too.

You are a fantastic teacher! Thanks so much for helping so many people, including myself, understand how our engines work.

Thank you so much for this I have a Jeep that's been sitting for a long time that I'm going to prime the oil pump on to help prevent startup wear. Now I can do it without worrying about messing up the sensor alignment since I learned how it works. Big help!

These videos are essential for a person with my experience with auto mechanic.

Great video. I really like knowing how and why something works when I'm fixing stuff. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this one. I'm very familiar with distributors, but not so much with this "new" stuff. Now I understand one more part of a modern system. Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My prior experience with distributors interfered with understanding your key point. I kept wondering how I was going to get it exact at 15 degrees. Then I suddenly had that 'aha moment' when I realized that 15 degrees doesn't matter, it's cosmetic so the wires don't get stretched. The critical part is done by the holding tool, which freezes the synchronizer at its own TDC. With cyl #1 at TDC and the synchronizer at the closest magnetic point, the unit is in time regardless of which teeth mesh together down below.

Thanks for your time, good teacher.

Thank very much. Merry Christmas! I will continue follow your videos.

Best explanation on this piece. Thank you! Very helpful was going nuts worrying if I had the degree perfect. Ha!

[@jake7027]

Thank you so much, I have a 99 ranger that needs a new synchronizer, and I’m a young dude who’s not super mechanically inclined. So given this was timing based I was super concerned about how and what to mark and the Hanes manual and KZbin wasn’t much help.

fantastic video, very helpful. thank you from australia!

[@fieldsofomagh]

Well executed video. God bless for the New Year and Happy Christmas.

[@tykendrick800]

One of the best videos out there 👍👍

[@stephenjones271]

This was very informative, excellent reference. Only thing that was confusing was the use of different offsets in Degrees. Thanks

[@brandunmaggard2290]

This is the best video out there on this specific issue. I think I may have a bad synchronizer with the wobbly internals. Iv wasted so much time. Wish I would have seen this first. Awesome video.
