Tightening torque: 6.4 Nm (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft. lbs.)
2) Install the ball, spring, washer and plug to transfer case.
Tightening torque: 9.75 Nm (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft. lbs.)
3) Install the shifter arm to transfer case assembly.
4) Install the transfer case with extension case assembly.
5) Install the manual transmission assembly to vehicle.
DISASSEMBLY
1) Cover the reverse check sleeve with a rag, and remove snap ring using a screwdriver.
NOTE: Replace the snap ring with a new one if deformed or weakened.
2) Remove the reverse check plate, reverse check spring, reverse check cam, return spring (5th-Rev), reverse accent shaft, return spring cap and return spring (1st-2nd).
3) Remove O-ring.
NOTE:
^ Reverse check sleeve assembly uses an O-ring which should not be scratched.
^ Be careful not to break adjustment shim placed between reverse check sleeve assembly and case.
ASSEMBLY
1) Install the return spring (1st-2nd), return spring cap, reverse accent shaft, check cam, return spring and check spring onto reverse check sleeve.
NOTE: Be sure the bent section of reverse check spring is positioned in the groove in check cam.
2) Hook the bent section of reverse check spring over reverse check plate.
3) Rotate the cam so that the protrusion of reverse check cam is at the opening in plate.
4) With cam held in that position, install plate onto reverse check sleeve and hold with snap ring.
5) Position O-ring in groove in sleeve.
INSPECTION
^ Make sure the cutout section of reverse accent shaft is aligned with the opening in reverse check sleeve.
^ Spin cam by hand for smooth rotation.
^ Move cam and shaft all the way toward plate and release.
If the cam does not return properly, replace reverse check spring; if the shaft does not, check for scratches on the inner surface of sleeve. If the sleeve is in good order, replace spring.
^ Select a suitable reverse accent shaft and reverse check plate.
ADJUSTMENT
NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
1) Shift the gear into 3rd gear position.
2) Shifter arm turns lightly toward the 1 sV2nd 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 (1sV 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 the shim is removed, the neutral position will move closer to reverse; when the shim is added, the neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.
^ If the shims alone cannot adjust the clearance, replace the reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.
REVERSE CHECK PLATE ADJUSTMENT
1) Shift the shifter arm to "5th" and then to reverse to see if reverse check mechanism operates properly.
2) Also check to see if the arm returns to neutral when released from the reverse position. If the arm does not return properly, replace reverse check plate.
