Procedure For Vehicles Not Using A Bushing
FIRST DRIVEN GEAR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE FOR VEHICLES NOT USING A BUSHING (OR VEHICLES USING A SHAFT). THESE ARE FULL TIME 4WD VEHICLES.1) Measure the outer diameter of the journal portion on the driven shaft at three different locations (120 degrees apart). Use the greater of the three measurements.
NOTE: If the outer diameter of the driven shaft is not within the following range replace the driven shaft.
49.959 47.975 mm
(1.9683 1.9690 in.)
If you are replacing the shaft, there are now two driven shafts of different sizes to choose from. Either shaft may be used as long as the corresponding gear is matched to it.
Select a suitable first gear using the largest of the three measurements obtained from the driven shaft journal, or the measurement of either replacement shaft you selected.
