OPERATION
The Transfer Unit provides the power to the rear
wheels through a hypoid ring gear and pinion set.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SEAL IDENTIFICATION
For accurate seal diagnosis, repair seal name and
location is critical. Refer to (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3)
and (Fig. 4) for correct seal name and location.
FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing fluid leaks on the Power Transfer
Unit two weep holes are provided to diagnose certain
seal leaks. These holes are located on the bottom side
of the assembly (Fig. 5).
If fluid leak is detected from either weep hole, seal
replacement is necessary.Do not attempt to repair
the leak by sealing weep holes,they must be kept
clear of sealants for proper seal operation.
If fluid is leaking from weep hole A (Fig. 5) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal needs
to be replaced. If the fluid leaking is red in color
(transmission fluid) this indicates that the Transmis-
sion differential carrier seal should be replaced. If
the fluid leaking is light brown (gear lube) this indi-
cates that the Power Transfer Unit input seal should
be replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.

If fluid is leaking from weep hole B (Fig. 5) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal is
leaking. If the fluid leaking is red in color (transmis-
sion fluid) this indicates that the input shaft end seal
should be replaced. If the fluid leaking is light brown
(gear lube) this indicates that the half shaft inner
seal and P.T.U. input shaft cover seal should be
replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.
Before condemning any seal or gasket be sure that
the rear rocker arm cover on the engine is not the
cause of the oil leak. Oil leaking from the rocker arm
cover is easily mistaken for a leaking Power Transfer
Unit.

ing the unit, or at the unit's regular scheduled inter-
val. (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - DESCRIPTION)
(1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Remove PTU inspection plug (Fig. 8).
(3) Using suitable suction gun, draw fluid from
PTU. Make sure hose contacts bottom of case to
ensure all fluid is removed.
(4) Add 1.15 liters (1.22 quarts) of MopartGear
and Axle Lubricant 80W-90 with suction gun (Fig. 9).
(5) Install inspection plug and torque to 20 N´m
(180 in. lbs.) torque.
(6) Lower vehicle.
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle and remove front wheels.
CAUTION: A certain amount of oil will drain out of
the transaxle when the drive shaft is removed.(2) Remove right front drive shaft. Install a plug
into the right driveshaft seal hole. (Refer to 3 - DIF-
FERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/HALF SHAFT -
REMOVAL)
(3) Mark propeller shaft front flange.

ing (Fig. 19).
INSTALLATION
The end cover ball bearing can be removed and
installed without removing the Power Transfer Unit
from the vehicle. When replacing the bearing the out-
put seal must be removed to gain access to the bear-
ing.
CAUTION: When installing bearing, position the
bearing in place by hand square to the bore. Other-
wise, bearing and/or housing damage may occur
upon installation.(1) Use installer MD998200 and driver handle
C-4171 to install bearing (Fig. 20) into the housing.
(2) Install bearing retaining snap ring.
CAUTION: When installing bearing retaining snap
ring, be sure to index the snap ring so that the
snap ring does not cover bearing oil passage.
(3) Install new outer half shaft seal using
MD998334 seal installer (Fig. 21).Do not reuse the
old seal.
(4) Reinstall right front half shaft.
(5) Check and fill fluids as required.

The Power Transfer Unit must be removed from
the vehicle to service this seal. Refer to Power Trans-
fer Unit Removal in this section for procedures.
(1) Clean and inspect seal area.
(2) Lay housing on bench and install new seal with
seal driver C-4657 and handle C-4171 (Fig. 47). The
seal must be installed with the spring side facing
towards the ring gear. Drive the seal in until it bot-
toms against the case shoulder.(3) Install input shaft.

Misassembled synchronizer components also cause
shifting problems. Incorrectly installed synchronizer
sleeves, keys, balls, or springs can cause shift prob-
lems.
NOISY OPERATION
Transaxle noise is most often a result of worn or
damaged components. Chipped, broken gear or syn-
chronizer teeth, and brinnelled, spalled bearings all
cause noise.
Abnormal wear and damage to the internal compo-
nents is frequently the end result of insufficient
lubricant.
SLIPS OUT OF GEAR
Transaxle disengagement may be caused by mis-
aligned or damaged shift components, or worn teeth
on the drive gears or synchronizer components. Incor-
rect assembly also causes gear disengagement. Check
for missing snap rings.
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
Insufficient transaxle lubricant is usually the
result of leaks, or inaccurate fluid level check or refill
method. Leakage is evident by the presence of oil
around the leak point. If leakage is not evident, the
condition is probably the result of an underfill.
If air±powered lubrication equipment is used to fill
a transaxle, be sure the equipment is properly cali-
brated. Equipment out of calibration can lead to an
underfill condition.
CLUTCH PROBLEMS
Worn, damaged, or misaligned clutch components
can cause difficult shifting, gear clash, and noise.
A worn or damaged clutch disc, pressure plate, or
release bearing can cause hard shifting and gear
clash.
