2-2 TORQUE TRANSFER MECHANISM
(1) Remove the filler plug.
(2) Check that the gear oil level is up to the bottom end
of the filler plug hole.
(3) If the gear oil level is lower than the bottom end of the
filler plug hole, add the specified gear oil up to the bottom
end of the filler plug hole.
Specified gear oil:
MITSUBISHI GENUINE DIA QUEEN SUPER AYC
FLUID
(4) Fit the filler plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
3. GEAR OIL CHANGE
3-1 DIFFERENTIAL
(1) Remove the drain plug to discharge the gear oil.
(2) Fit the drain plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 49 Nm {5.0 kgf

(4) Fit the filler plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
4. FLUID LEVEL CHECK
(1) Remove the maintenance lid located in the luggage
compartment.
(2) If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 5 min. or more
in an ordinary temperature (10
C to 30
C) to allow the
accumulator internal pressure to drop.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is less than 10
C or less,
allow more time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.
(3) Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in the
range between MAX and MIN.
(4) If the fluid level is lower than MIN, add the specified
fluid.
Specified fluid: MITSUBISHI DIA QUEEN ATF-SPII
(5) Reinstall the maintenance lid.
5. BLEEDING
(1) Lift up the vehicle.
(2) Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
(3) Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
(4) After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm {0.9 kgf
m}
(6) Perform steps (2) through (5) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.

(7) After the system has been completely bled of air, check
for the fluid level.
Caution
If the system is not completely bled of air, the hydraulic
unit could generate noise, degrading pump durability.

CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Tighten the rear crossmember mounting bolts in the numerical
order shown.
NOTE
To ensure both good installation accuracy and ease of
installation, the rear crossmember mounting holes have
different diameters between front and rear. This is the reason
for specifying the tightening sequence of the mounting bolts.
BPROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
Align the alignment mark on the differential carrier with that
of the propeller shaft at installation.
Caution
Oil or grease on the threads of the mounting bolt or nut
can allow the bolt or nut to come loose. Be sure to
degrease the threads before installation.
