Transmission Case

Transmission Case

REMOVAL

1) Remove the manual transmission assembly from the vehicle.
2) Remove the clutch release lever.
3) Remove the transfer case together with the extension case assembly.
4) Remove the bearing mounting bolt.





5) Remove the main shaft rear plate.





6) Remove the coupling bolts and nuts, and separate the transmission case into the right and left case.





7) Remove the drive pinion shaft assembly from the left side of the transmission case.

NOTE:
Use a hammer handle, etc. to remove if too tight.





8) Remove the main shaft assembly for single range.
9) Remove the front differential assembly.





10) Remove the differential side retainers and bearing outer races on the left and right side.

NOTE:
Do not confuse the right and left roller bearing outer races.

11) Remove the reverse idler gear.
12) Remove the shifter fork and rod.
13) Remove the front oil guide.





INSTALLATION

1) Wipe off grease, oil and dust on the mating surfaces of transmission cases with cleaning solvent.
2) Install the shifter fork and rod.
3) Install the reverse idler gear.
4) Select the drive pinion shim.
5) Install the differential side retainer, from which the bearing outer race and O-ring have already been removed, to the transmission case LH side.
6) Install the front differential assembly.
7) Install the main shaft assembly for single-range.

NOTE:
Install the transmission case knock pin into the knock pin hole of needle bearing.

8) Install the selected drive pinion shims and drive pinion shaft assembly.

NOTE:
Install the transmission case knock pin into the roller bearing knock pin hole.

9) Tighten the left and right side of the transmission case with the17 mounting bolts.

NOTE:
^ Insert bolts (11) and (16) from the LH side of the transmission case.
^ Match the cases together so that the drive pinion shims are not caught between the cases.

Tightening torque:
8 mm bolt
25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.4 ft-lb)
[star]10 mm bolt
40 Nm (4.1 kgf-m, 29.5 ft-lb)





10) Install the bearing outer race to the RH side of the transmission case.
11) Tighten the bearing mounting bolts.

Tightening torque:
30 Nm (3.1 kgf-m, 22.1 ft-lb)





12) Perform backlash adjustment of the hypoid gear and preload adjustment of the roller bearing.
(1) Attach the ST on drive pinion assembly.

(2) Place the transmission case with the LH side facing downward, and put ST1 on the bearing outer race.
(3) Screw the side retainer from the bottom into left case using ST2. Fit the ST3 on transmission main shaft.
Shift the gear into 4th or 5th, and turn the shaft several times. Screw in the retainer while rotating the ST3 until a slight resistance is felt on ST2.
This is the contact point of the hypoid gear and the drive pinion shaft. Repeat the above sequence several times to ensure the contact point.

ST2 18630AA010 WRENCH COMPL RETAINER
ST3 499927100 HANDLE





(4) Remove the WEIGHT, and screw in the side retainer without the O-ring into the RH side of the transmission case, and stop at the point where a slight resistance is felt.

NOTE:
In this condition, the backlash between hypoid gear and drive pinion shaft is zero.

(5) Loosen the side retainer on the LH side of the transmission case by 3 notches, and turn the side retainer on the RH side of the transmission case by the same notches in order to apply backlash.
(6) Screw in the side retainer of the RH side of the transmission case additionally by 1 notch in order to apply preload on taper roller bearing.
(7) Tighten temporarily both the upper and lower lock plates, and put marks on both the side retainer and lock plate for later readjustment.

NOTE:
If it is hard to install the lock plates, reverse the sides and install them.

(8) Turn the transmission main shaft several times while tapping around the retainer lightly with plastic hammer.
13) Inspect and adjust backlash and tooth contact of the hypoid gear.
14) Separate the transmission case into left and right parts.
15) Check each shifter fork.
16) Install the front oil guide to the RH side of the transmission case.

NOTE:
Fit in all the way.





17) Apply liquid gasket, then join the right side and left side of the case together.

Liquid gasket:
THREE BOND 1215 (Part No. 004403007) or equivalent





18) With brackets and clips as shown in the figure, tighten the seventeen bolts.

NOTE:
^ Insert bolts (11) and (16) from the LH side of the transmission case.
^ Match the cases together so that the drive pinion shims are not caught between the cases.

Tightening torque:
8 mm bolt
25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.4 ft-lb)
[star] 10 mm bolt
40 Nm (4.1 kgf-m, 29.5 ft-lb)





19) Tighten the bearing mounting bolts.

Tightening torque:
30 Nm (3.1 kgf-m, 22.1 ft-lb)





20) Remove the lock plate. Then loosen the retainer until the O-ring groove appears. Fit the O-ring into the groove and tighten the retainer into the position where it was not loosened.

NOTE:
^ When loosening the retainer, record the number of the turns made.
^ Perform this for both left and right side retainers.
^ Use new O-rings.

21) Install the lock plate.

Tightening torque:
T: 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.4 ft-lb)





22) Select a main shaft rear plate.
23) Install the transfer case together with the extension case assembly.
24) Install the clutch release lever and bearing.
25) Install the manual transmission assembly to the vehicle.

INSPECTION

Check the transmission case for cracks, damage, or oil leaks.
