CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CLEANING VALVE BODY
Prior to removing any transaxle parts, plug all
openings and clean unit, preferably by steam. Clean-
liness through entire disassembly and assembly can-
not be overemphasized. When disassembling, each
part should be washed in a suitable solvent, then
dried by compressed air.Do not wipe parts with
shop towels.All mating surfaces in the transaxles
are accurately machined; therefore, careful handling
of all parts must be exercised to avoid nicks or burrs.
NOTE: Tag all springs, as they are removed, for
reassembly identification.
ADJUSTMENTS
GEARSHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Lift and rotate the gearshift hand lever into the
park (P) gate position and remove the ignition key.This confirms the shift lever is in the gated park (P)
position.
After confirming the park gate position, turn the
ignition switch. If the starter will operate, the park
gate position is correct. Move the shift lever into the
neutral (N) position. If the starter will operate in this
position, the linkage is properly adjusted. If the
starter fails to operate in either position, linkage
adjustment is required.
(1) Park the vehicle on level ground and set the
parking brake.
(2) Place the gearshift lever in park (P) gate posi-
tion and remove key.
(3) Loosen the cable adjustment screw at the tran-
saxle operating lever (Fig. 300).
(4) Pull the transaxle operating lever fully forward
to the park detent position.
(5) Release the park brake, then rock the vehicle
to assure it is in park lock. Reset the park brake.
(6) Tighten the cable adjustment screw to 8 N´m
(70 in. lbs.). Gearshift cable should now be properly
adjusted.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER TRANSFER UNIT
The Power Transfer Unit (P.T.U.) is attached to a
modified automatic transaxle case where the right
half shaft extension housing would normally be
located. The Transfer Unit provides the power to the
rear wheels through a hypoid ring gear and pinion
set.
The Power Transfer Unit is sealed from the tran-
saxle and has its own oil sump. The Unit uses SAE
85W-90 gear lubricant and holds 1.15 liters (1.22
quarts).
The Power Transfer Unit fill plug is located on the
end cover (Fig. 1).Do not mistake the black plas-
tic inspection plug located on the P.T.U. case
for the fill plug.Service of the Power Transfer Unit is limited to:
²Seals
²Gaskets
²One ball bearing
²Output flange
If the ring gear and pinion, any tapered roller
bearings, case, covers, or pinion carrier fail the entire
unit must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SEAL IDENTIFICATION
For accurate seal diagnosis, repair seal name and
location is critical. Refer to (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3), (Fig. 4)

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

ADJUSTMENTS
OUTPUT FLANGE SHIM SELECTION
This procedure is used when the output flange is
replaced. Replacement of the output flange requires
installation of the correct size shim to maintain bear-
ing preload.The shim must protrude from the
new output flange the same distance that the
original shim protruded from the original
flange.
(1) Stand the original output flange on end with
shim side pointing up.
(2) Place original shim into groove in top of flange.
(3) Place a straight edge across the shim.
(4) Using feeler gauge, measure the distance
between the straight edge and the top of the flange
(Fig. 57). Record this measurement.
(5) Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 4 using the
new flange and the original shim.Record this
measurement.
(6) If measurements are not equal, use a new shim
that protrudes from new output flange. Make sure it
protrudes the same amount.
(7) For Example: The original shim protrudes
0.075 inch from the original output flange. Place the
original shiminto the new output flange. The pro-
trusion of the shim in the new flange is 0.085 inch.
This indicates that a 0.010 inch thinner shim is
required to maintain the original protrusion.
(8) Install output flange and torque flange nut to
244 N´m (180 ft. lbs.).
(9) Check the turning torque of the pinion before
installing the rear cover into the P.T.U. The turning
torque should be between 2.0 N´m and 2.5 N´m (17
in. lbs. and 22 in. lbs.).

DIFFERENTIAL
NOTE: The differential is typically serviced as an
assembly. The only parts that are serviceable within
the differential are the differential bearing cups and
cones. If any other part fails within the differential,
you should replace the differential assembly.Shim thickness need be determined only if any of
the following parts are replaced:
²Transaxle gear case
²Differential case
²Differential bearings
²Differential cover
Refer toBearing Adjustment Procedurein the
Adjustments section at the end of this section to
determine proper shim thickness. This will provide
correct bearing preload and proper bearing turning
torque.DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS
Differential bearings are usually serviced as pairs.
If one differential bearing fails, you should replace
both bearing cups and cones
