Transmission to Transfer Case End Play Check (F4WD Only)

^ Tools Required
- J 36850 TRANSJEL Lubricant (or equivalent)
- J 44472 End Play Checking Tool

Important: Transmission oil circulates between the transmission assembly and the transfer case. In situations where transmission related failures circulate debris into the transfer case, the transfer case must be disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for damage.





1. Position the transaxle so that the case side cover is facing down.
2. Install the final drive sun gear shaft (689).





3. Use J 36850 or equivalent in order to retain the parking gear thrust bearing (695) to the parking gear (696).
Install the parking gear thrust bearing (695) and the parking gear (696).





4. Install the final drive sun gear (697).





5. Install the gauge bar (1) onto the case mounting surface.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Important: Install bolts to J 44472 and tighten securely to prevent tool deflection during end play measurement.

6. Install J 44472 (2) onto the transmission.
^ Tighten J 44472 to remove end play. Hand tighten only.





7. Measure the distance from the case mounting surface, bottom of the gauge bar (1) to the top of the final drive sun gear (697). This measurement is dimension A.
8. Remove the gauge bar (1) and J 44472 (2).





9. Install the gauge bar onto the carrier.
10. Measure the distance from the bottom of the gauge bar to the transfer case. This measurement is Dimension 131.





11. Measure the distance from the bottom of the gauge bar to the thrust bearing (1). This measurement is Dimension B2.
12. Subtract Dimension B1 from Dimension B2. This Dimension is B.
13. Remove the gauge bar from the transfer case.





14. Remove the final drive sun gear (697).





15. Refer to Transfer Case Selective Washer Specifications. Install the selective washer (902).
