REMOVAL
1. Remove center muffler with power tool. Refer to EX-3, "Compo-
nents" .
2. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-9, "
Removal and
Installation" .
3. Remove front propeller shaft (AWD models). Refer to PR-5,
"Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove transfer assembly from A/T assembly (AWD models). Refer to TF-44, "
Removal and Installation" .
5. 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 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:

Do not reuse rear oil seal.

Apply ATF to rear oil seal.
2. Install transfer assembly to A/T assembly (AWD models). Refer to TF-44, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Install front propeller shaft (AWD models). Refer to PR-5,

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 A/T assembly with a transmission jack. CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to prevent from damaging control valve
with TCM and transmission case.
10. Remove rear engine mounting member with power tool. Refer to AT- 2 6 6 , "
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.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check A/T position, A/T fluid leakage and A/F fluid level. Refer to AT- 2 3 1 ,
"Checking of A/T Position" , AT- 1 3 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
1. Install revolution sensor in transmission case, and then tighten revolution sensor mounting bolt to the specified torque. Refer to
AT- 2 5 9 , "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:

Do not subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.

Do not disassemble.

Do not allow metal filings, etc. to get on the sensor's front
edge magnetic area.

Do not place in an area affected by magnetism.
2. Connect revolution sensor connector.
3. Securely fasten revolution sensor harness with clip.
4. Apply recommended sealant (Genuine Anaerobic Liquid Gasket or equivalent. Refer to GI-48, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants" .) to rear extension assembly as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Completely remove all moisture, oil and old sealant, etc.
from transmission case and rear extension assembly
mounting surfaces.

28. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
29. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band)
may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indi-
cates 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" .
30. Remove magnets from oil pan.
31. Disconnect A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 connector. CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector.
32. Straighten terminal clips to free terminal cord assembly and A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 harness.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorNJS000DL
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.

Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?

A/C system works properly.

There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30 °C (77 to 86 °F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO AT C - 2 9 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO AT C - 2 8 , "
