[s-cars] Bentley error?

[Wayne Dohnal]

I was browsing through the Bentley manual (got tired of the dictionary) and 
ran across this interesting item in the transmission section.  It's on page 
34-63, 'Transmission end cover, assembly'.

It says "Heat 5th and 6th gear synchronizer ring to approx. 1205C (2485F), 
install and drive home free of play."

Besides the fact that I can't imagine how one would get something that hot, 
that's above the melting point for some steel alloys.  This can't be for 
real, can it?  Did they maybe drop a decimal point?
