RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
MA-12

Checking Water Entry Ð For 4WD models
Check water entry in the clutch housing by removing the
sealing grommet whenever driving in deep water or mud.
Checking Transfer Fluid
Check for fluid leakage and fluid level.
Automatic Transmission Fluid is used for the transfer in the
factory.
Never start engine while checking fluid level.
Filler plug:
: 25 - 34 N´m (2.5 - 3.5 kg-m, 18 - 25 ft-lb)
Changing Transfer Fluid
When changing transfer fluid completely, use the following fluid.
Fluid grade:
Nissan Matic ``D'' or Equivalent Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid or API GL-4. Refer to ``RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS'', MA-12.

2.2ø(2 Imp qt)
Drain plug:
: 25 - 34 N´m (2.5 - 3.5 kg-m, 18 - 25 ft-lb)
Checking Propeller Shaft
Check propeller shaft for damage, looseness or grease leakage.
Tightening torque: Refer to PD section.
Greasing Propeller Shaft
Apply specified grease to nipples provided on propeller shaft.
Grease specification:
Refer to ``RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS'', MA-12.

LINING
Check wear or damage.
Lining wear limit (Minimum thickness):
1.5 mm (0.059 in)
TEMPORARY METHOD FOR CHECKING LINING
WEAR
Remove inspection hole plug and check for lining wear.
Checking Steering Gear and Linkage
STEERING GEAR
lCheck gear housing and boots for looseness, damage or
grease leakage.
lCheck connection with steering column for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
lCheck ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
looseness, wear, damage or grease leakage.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
lCheck fluid level with engine off.
lCheck fluid level with dipstick on reservoir cap. Use ``HOT''
range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF). Use
``COLD'' range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to
86ÉF).
CAUTION:
lDo not overfill.
lRecommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
type ``DEXRONTMIIE'', ``DEXRONTMIII'' or equivalent.
lCheck lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing or deterioration.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``Air Bag'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of an air
bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring har-
ness and spiral cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

bag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp and spiral
cable. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in theRS sectionof this Service
Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS.
Precautions for Steering System
lBefore disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
lDisassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts
from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lFor easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
lUse nylon cloths or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might
interfere with their operation.
lBefore inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable
solvent.
lBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF* to hydraulic parts. Petroleum jelly may be
applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.
lReplace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during instal-
lation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.
*: Automatic Transmission Fluid type DEXRON
TMII E, DEXRONTMIII, or equivalent.
