33. Remove the control valve assembly bolts.
34. Remove the control valve assembly.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse any part that has been dropped or damaged.
• Make sure valve is assembled in the proper direction.
• Do not use a magnet because residual magnetism stays
during disassembly.

There are two kinds of lip seals (lip seal of large inner diam-
eter: 5 pieces, lip seal of small inner diameter: 2 pieces).
Confirm the position before disassembly.
36. Disassemble the control valve assembly with the following procedure. CAUTION:
• Do not reuse any part that has been dropped or damaged.
• Make sure valve is assembled in the proper direction.
• Do not use a magnet because residual magnetism stays during disassembly.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shift Rod Components
• Check the working face of the shift rod and fork for wear, partial wear, bending and other abnormality. If any is found, replace with a
new one.
• Measure the clearance between the shift fork and sleeve. If it is out of specification, replace it with a new one.
Planetary Carrier
• Measure the end play of each pinion gear. If it is out of specifica-tion, replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.
• Check the working face of each gear and bearing for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents and other abnormality. If any is found,
replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
• Check if the oil passage of the sun gear assembly is clogged. For
this, try to pass a 3.6 mm (0.142 in) dia. pin through the oil pas-
sage as shown.
• Check the sliding and contact surface of each gear and bearing for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents, and other abnormality. If any is
found, replace the sun gear assembly with a new one.
Internal Gear
• Check the internal gear teeth for damage, partial wear, dents andother abnormality. If any is found, replace the internal gear with a
new one.
Gears and Drive Chain
• Check the gear faces and shaft for wear, cracks, damage, and sei-zure.
• Check the surfaces which contact the sun gear, clutch drum, clutch hub, press flange, clutch piston and each bearing for damage,
peel, partial wear, dents, bending, or other abnormal damage. If
any is found, replace with a new one.
Bearing
• Make sure the bearings roll freely and are free from noise, pittingand cracks.

1. Check the inner and outer circumference, tooth face, and side- face of the inner and outer gears for damage or abnormal wear.
2. Measure the side clearance between the main oil pump housing edge and the inner and outer gears.
3. Make sure the side clearance is within specification. If the mea- surement is out of specification, replace the inner and outer
gears with new ones as a set. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
Sub-oil Pump
1. Check the inner and outer circumference, tooth face, and side-face of the inner and outer gears for damage or abnormal wear.
2. Measure the side clearance between the sub oil pump housing edge and the inner and outer gears.
3. Make sure the side clearance is within specification. If the mea- surement is out of specification, replace the inner and outer
gears with new ones as a set. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
Control Valve
• Check resistance between the terminals of the clutch pressuresolenoid valve, 2-4WD shift solenoid valve, clutch pressure switch,
line pressure switch and the transfer fluid temperature sensor.
Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (clutch pressure
solenoid valve), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (2-4WD
solenoid valve), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (clutch
pressure switch), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (line
pressure switch) and DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly"
(transfer fluid temperature sensor).
• Check the sliding faces of the control valves and plugs for abnor- mality. If any is found, replace the control valve assembly with a
new one. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Replace control valve body together with clutch return spring
as a set. Specification : 0.015 - 0.035 mm (0.0006 - 0.0014 in)

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
• Check each control valve spring for damage or distortion. Also
check its free length, outer diameter and wire diameter. If any dam-
age or fatigue is found, replace the control valve body with a new
one. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Replace control valve body togeth er with clutch return spring
as a set.
Clutch
• Check the drive plate facings and driven plate for damage, cracks or other abnormality. If any abnormalities are found, replace with a
new one.
• Check the thickness of the drive plate facings and driven plate.
Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
• Measure facing thickness at 3 points to take an average.
• Check all drive and driven plates.
• Check return spring for damage or deformation.
• Do not remove spring from plate.
Return Spring
• Check the stamped mark shown. T hen, check that the free lengths,
(include thickness of plate) are within specifications. If any abnor-
mality is found, replace with a new return spring assembly of the
same stamped number. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and
Assembly".
ASSEMBLY
