Rear Oil SealACS0081G
REMOVAL
1. Remove center muffler with power tool. Refer to EX-3, "Removal
and Installation" .
2. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-9, "
Removal and
Installation" .
3. Remove transfer assembly from transmission assembly (AWD models). Refer to TF-44, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove rear oil seal using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch rear extension assembly (2WD
models) or adapter case assembly (AWD models).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check A/T fluid leakage and A/T fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 3 , "
Checking A/T
Fluid" .
1. As shown in the right figure, use the drift to drive rear oil seal into rear extension assembly (2WD models) or adapter case
assembly (AWD models) until it is flush.
CAUTION:

Apply ATF to rear oil seal.

Do not reuse rear oil seal.
2. Install transfer assembly to transmission assembly (AWD mod- els). Refer to TF-44, "
Removal and Installation" .

7. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
8. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates
varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches
to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.

If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to AT- 1 5 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
9. Support transmission assembly with a transmission jack. CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to
prevent from damaging control valve with TCM and trans-
mission case.
10. Remove rear engine mounting member with power tool. Refer to AT- 2 7 0 , "
Removal and Installation (2WD
Models)" .
11. Remove tightening bolts for rear extension assembly and trans- mission case.
12. Tap rear extension assembly with soft hammer.
