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.

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-179, "
Inspection
and Adjustment".
Control Valve
• Check resistance between the terminals of the clutch pressure
solenoid valve, 2-4WD shift solenoid valve, clutch pressure switch,

noid valve), DLN-61, "
Component Inspection" (2-4WD solenoid
valve), DLN-73, "
Component Inspection" (clutch pressure switch),
DLN-76, "
Component Inspection" (line pressure switch) and DLN-
69, "Component Inspection" (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-142, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Replace control valve body together with clutch return spring

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the
″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Servicing Front Final DriveINFOID:0000000005148912
• Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
• Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
• Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
• Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
• Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
• Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
• Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
• Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
• Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
• When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
• In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
• During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
• Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.
