Rear Case

A: DISASSEMBLY





1. Reamove rear case (1).
2. Remove plug (2), spring (3) and reverse check ball (4).
3. Remove neutral switch (5).
4. Pull out shifter arm (6).
5. Remove reverse check sleeve (7).

NOTE: The disassembly procedure is the same as for AWD model.





6. Remove back-up light switch (8).
7. Remove oil seal (9).

CAUTION: Do not reuse oil seal.

B: ASSEMBLY





1. Assembly of rear case is in the reverse order of disassembly.
2. Installation of shifter arm
Install shifter arm into the partition from the front while inserting selector arm into the opening in reverse check sleeve. Pass shaft through hole in selector arm until its end comes out of the rear of transmission case assembly.

CAUTION:
Apply a coat of gear oil to shifter arm. Also make sure oil seal is positioned properly.

3. Adjustment of neutral position

NOTE:
After assembling and installing rear case, adjust neutral position.

1. Shift gear into 3rd gear position.
2. Shifter arm turns lightly toward the 1st/2nd gear side but heavily toward the reverse gear side because of the function of the return spring, until arm contacts the stopper.
3. Make adjustment so that the heavy stroke (reverse side) is a little more than the light stroke (1st/2nd side).





4. To adjust, remove bolts holding reverse check sleeve assembly to the case, move sleeve assembly outward, and place adjustment shim (0 to 1 ea.) between sleeve assembly and case to adjust the clearance.

CAUTION: Be careful not to break O-ring when placing shim(s).

NOTE:
- When shim is removed, the neutral position will move closer to reverse; when shim is added, the neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.





- If shims alone cannot adjust the clearance, replace reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.








4. Reverse check plate adjustment

NOTE:
After assembling and installing rear case, adjust reverse check plate.
Shift shifter arm to "5th" and then to reverse to see if reverse checking mechanism operates properly. Also check to see if arm returns to Neutral when released from the reverse position. If arm does not return properly, replace reverse check plate.
