11. Coat a new seal ring with Vaseline, and install it in the seal ring groove of the shaft.

NOTE: Do not expand the seal ring excessively when installing.





12. Install the transfer clutch assembly without damaging seal ring.

INSPECTION
^ Check the drive plate facing for wear and damage.
^ Check the snap ring for wear, return spring for permanent set and breakage, and return spring for deformation.
^ Check the lathe cut seal ring for damage.
^ Measure the extension end play and adjust it to within specifications.
1. Inspect clearance between snap ring and pressure plate.
2. Before measuring clearance, place the same thickness of shim on both sides to prevent pressure plate from tilting.








3. If the clearance is not within specification, adjust it by selecting a suitable pressure plate on the transfer clutch piston side.
If the clearance is above the limit, replace the drive plate with new one and adjust so that the clearance is within specification.
Standard value: 0.7 - 1.1 mm (0.028 - 0.043 inch)
Allowable limit: 1.6 mm (0.063 inch)
4. Check if the tight corner braking does not occur when the vehicle is started with steering wheel held at fully turned position. If tight corner braking occurs, perform the following procedures.
1. With the steering wheel held at fully turned position, drive the vehicle in D range and with vehicle speed at approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH) in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions for approximately ten times each, while repeating acceleration and braking intermittently.
2. If the tight corner braking still persists, drive the vehicle again in a circle for several laps.

MPT MODEL





1. Measure distance A from end of extension case and rear drive shaft with ST.

2. Measure the distance B from the transmission case mating surface to the reduction drive gear end surface with ST1 and ST2.
ST1 398643600 GAUGE ST2 499577000 GAUGE





3. Calculation formula:

NOTE:
^ Calculate T:

T = A - B + 35.4 mm
[T = A - B + 1.3937 in]
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from end of extension case to end of rear drive shaft
B: Distance from end of transmission case to end of reduction drive gear
Example:
When, A = 33.6 mm (1.3228 inch), B = 65.05 mm (2.5610 inch)
T = 33.6 - 65.05 + 35.4 = 3.95
[T = 1.3228 - 2.5610 + 1.3937 = 0.1555]
After calculation, the value of H becomes 3.95, therefore select bearing thickness of 3.8.
^ Calculation formula for T is applied when measuring using ST (398643600 GAUGE, 499577000 GAUGE). When not using ST, apply
T = (a + 0.45 mm) - (B - b) - H
[T = (A - a + 0.0177 inch) - (B - b) - H].
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from end of extension case to end of reduction drive shaft
B: Distance from end of transmission case to end of rear drive shaft
A: Collar thickness used when measuring "A"
B: Collar thickness used when measuring "B:
0.45: Gasket thickness (mm)
H: Shim clearance

4. Formula:

NOTE:
^ Calculation of T:
When clearances are 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch), select up to four adjusting shims from the table, suitable for clearance value.
When clearances are 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
T = A - B + 0.40 mm
[T = A - B + 0.0157 inch]
When clearances are 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
T = A - B + 0.20 mm
[T = A - B + 0.0079 inch]
T: Shim clearance
A: Distance between extension case edge and rear driveshaft edge
B: Distance between transmission case edge and reduction drive gear edge
T: Shim thickness
0.05-0.25 mm (0.0020-0.0098 inch)
Example:
When, A = 90.50 mm (3.5630 inch), B = 90.35 mm (3.5571 inch)
Calculation for 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) of clearance
T = 90.50 - 90.35 + 0.4 = 0.55
[T = 3.5630 - 3.5571 + 0.0157 = 0.0216]
Calculation when clearance is 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
T = 90.50 - 90.35 + 0.2 = 0.35
[T = 3.5630 - 3.5571 + 0.0079 = 0.0138]
^ Calculation formula for T is applied when measuring using ST (398643600 GAUGE). When not using ST, apply
T = (A - a + 0.45 mm) - (B - b) - H
[T = (A - a + 0.0177 inch) - (B - b) - H].
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from end of extension case to end of reduction drive shaft
B: Distance from end of transmission case to end of rear drive shaft
A: Collar thickness used when measuring "A"
B: Collar thickness used when measuring "B"
0.45: Gasket thickness (mm)
H: Shim clearance
After calculation, the value of T becomes between 0.35 mm (0.01 38 inch) and 0.55 mm (0.0216 inch), therefore select two shims with thickness of 0.2 mm (0.010 inch) or one shim with thickness of 0.5 mm (0.020 inch).
