Change
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.
Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for fluid level check.
3) Change fluid. For its procedure, refer to On-vehicle service in
Section 7B1.

Transfer and Differential Oil Inspection and Change
Inspection
1) Check transfer case and differential for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level check.
3) Remove level plug of transfer or differentials (front and rear) and
check oil level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of level plug hole.
That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil level is found up
to hole when level plug is removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified amount of specified oil
referring to Section 7D, 7B or 7F.
4) Tighten level plug to specified torque.
Refer to Section 7D, 7E or 7F for tightening torque.
Change
Change transfer oil or differentials oil with new specified oil referring
to Section 7D, 7E and 7F respectively.

1) Insert bearing race into yoke, tapping it with a hammer, until it is
flush with yoke face. When doing this, insert spider into bearing
race to prevent rollers in bearing race from coming out.
2) Insert the other bearing race on the opposite side into yoke, tap-
ping with a hammer until it is flush with yoke face.
3) Insert bearing races on the flange yoke side in the same way as
described in 1) and 2) above.
4) Place a metal plate on bearing races when tapping them in to
avoid damaging yoke.
5) Securely fit 4 circlips to shaft and flange yoke.
NOTE:

After assembly, check to ensure that both shaft yoke and
flange yoke move smoothly.

Make sure that each circlip is fitted in groove securely.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install propeller shaft.

Use following specification to torque universal joint flange bolts
(and center support bolts).

When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks.
Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
NOTE:
If transfer oil was drained for front propeller shaft removal,
pour specified gear oil into transfer case to specified level.

As the aluminum case is sealed with liquid type gas-
ket, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equiv-
alent on its mating surfaces when reassembling it.
Also, the case fastening bolts must be tightened to
specified torque by means of the torque wrench and
tightening over or below the specified torque should
be avoided.
The description under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in this
section covers a part of the TYPE 2 manual transmis-
sion and the transfer. The transfer is next to the trans-
mission as well, but their gear boxes are independent
and each of them has its own drain and level / filler
plugs for the oil change or the level check.
For the repair procedure of the transfer unit, refer to
Section 7D.
SECTION 7A
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
(TYPE 1)
CONTENTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The manual transmission consists of the input shaft,
main shaft, countershaft and reverse gear which are
installed in the aluminum case. Its gears are of for-
ward five speeds in synchro mesh and reverse one
speed in constant mesh system.
The main shaft gears are held by the needle bearings
and on them the synchronizer rings and synchronizer
sleeve & hubs are assembled.
The gear shift lever case is located at the upper be-
hind the transmission case and has a cam which pre-
vents direct gear shift from the 5th speed gear to the
reverse gear.

REMOVAL
1) Remove 4 screws at the front and rear and 2 clips at the center
then take off front and rear center console boxes.
NOTE:
To remove clip, push in its center pin first.
2) Remove console box bracket by removing bolts and lift up boot
cover and boot No. 2.
3) Remove boot clamp and then remove boot No. 1 from transmis-
sion shift lever case.

it to counter clockwise and take out shift control lever.
5) Take out transfer shift control lever in similar manner as de-
scribed above.
INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION
1) Check shift control lever lower portion and control lever locating
sheet for excessive wear, and boot for damage. Correct or re-
place if necessary.
2) Apply grease to pivot portions and seat, then install shift control
lever.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
3) Perform above steps also for transfer shift control lever.
4) If control lever locating bolts (a) are replaced or retightened,
torque them as specified below.
Replacing of control lever locating bolts requires thread lock ce-
ment.
