TRANSFER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Pre-Removal And Installation Operation:
- Drain and refill transfer assembly.
- Remove and install Front Exhaust Pipe

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT




A - TRANSFER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

CAUTION:
- Do not damage the oil seal lip of the transfer.
- Use the special tool to cover the transaxle case to prevent oil from gushing out or foreign materials from getting Into the transaxle case.




TRANSFER CASE DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY

REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

BACKLASH ADJUSTMENT




1. Apply a light and uniform coat of machine blue or red lead to the driven bevel gear teeth (both sides) using a brush.




2. Install the spacer that has been used.




3. Align the transfer case and drive bevel gear mating marks.




4. Align the transfer case adapter and drive bevel gear mating marks.
5. Assemble the transfer case and transfer case adapter and tighten to the specified torque.




6. With the mating marks aligned as in step (3), confirm that the transfer case and drive bevel gear mating marks are matched looking from the cover.




7. Use the special tool to turn the drive bevel gear shaft (one forward turn, one reverse turn).

NOTE: Do not turn the shaft more than one turn in either direction, or a tooth contact pattern will be unclear.




8. Check that the drive bevel gear tooth contact is normal.

NOTE: Refer to the TOOTH CONTACT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES for the standard tooth contact.




9. Check that the drive bevel gear and driven bevel backlash is as specified.
Standard value: Bevel gear set backlash 0.08-0.13 mm (0.0031 -0.0051 In.)

A - 0-RING INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Apply transaxle oil to the 0-ring before Installation.

B - EXTENSION HOUSING INSTALLATION




Apply sealant to the adapter flange surface and install the extension housing.
Specified sealant: Mitsubishi genuine Sealant Part No. MD997740 or equivalent

NOTE: Squeeze out sealant from the tube uniformly and continuously in adequate amount.




C - SEALANT APPLICATION TO COVER GASKET
Specified sealant: MOPAR Part No.4318034 or Three Bond Part No.1141 E

TOOTH CONTACT ADJUSTING PROCEDURES




1. Standard tooth contact pattern
A - Small end side
B - Drive side tooth lace (Side on which force acts when running forward)
C - Big end side
D - Coast side tooth face (Side on which force acts when reversing)




2. Tooth contact pattern produced when drive bevel gear height Is too large
Cause: The driven bevel is too close to the drive bevel gear.




Remedy: Use thicker bevel gear mount adjusting spacer to separate the driven bevel gear more from the drive bevel gear.




3. Tooth contact pattern produced when driven bevel gear height is too small
Cause: The driven bevel gear is too separated from the drive bevel gear.




Remedy: Use thinner driven bevel gear mount adjusting spacer to bring the gear closer to the drive bevel gear.




NOTE:
1. If correct tooth contact cannot be obtained even by change of the driven bevel gear mount adjusting spacer, increase or decrease the drive bevel gear preload adjusting spacer and the drive bevel gear mount adjusting spacer as described below and then adjust tooth contact again.
- When the driven bevel gear height is too small even if the thinnest driven bevel gear mount adjusting spacer 0.13 mm (0.0051 in.) is used:

Replace the drive bevel gear mount adjusting spacer that is in use with one that is one rank thicker and replace the drive bevel preload adjusting spacer that is in use with one that is one rank thinner.
- When the driven bevel gear height is too large even if the thickest driven bevel gear mount adjusting spacer 0.52 mm (0.0205 in.) is used:

Replace the drive bevel gear mount adjusting spacer that is in use with one that is one rank thinner and replace the drive bevel gear preload adjusting spacer that is in use with one that is one rank thicker.

2. Repeat above steps until the tooth contact pattern equal or close to the standard pattern is obtained.
3. If the tooth contact pattern cannot be adjusted close to the standard pattern by above adjustment, replace the drive bevel gear and driven bevel gear as a set and readjust the tooth contact.
