Clearance: 0 - 0.15 mm (0 - 0.0059 inch)






3) If the measurement is not within the specification, select suitable snap ring.






4. Install extension cover (6), gasket (5) and shift bracket

CAUTION: Use new gasket.

5. Install oil seal (8) with ST. ST 498057300 INSTALLER

CAUTION: Use new oil seal.

2. Transfer case





Assembly of transfer case is in the reverse order of disassembly. Do the following:
1. Assembly of reverse check sleeve
1) Install reverse accent shaft (F), check cam (D) return spring (E) and check spring (C) onto reverse check sleeve.

NOTE: Be sure the bent section of reverse check spring is positioned in the groove in check cam.

2) Hook the bent section of reverse check spring over reverse check plate % .
3) Rotate cam so that the protrusion of reverse check cam is at the opening in plate.
4) With cam held in that position, install plate onto reverse check sleeve and hold with snap ring (Inner-28).
5) Position O-ring 9 (35.4 x 1.5) in groove in sleeve.






CAUTION:
- Make sure the cutout section of reverse accent shaft is aligned with the opening in reverse check sleeve.
- Spin cam by hand for smooth rotation.
- If it does not return properly, replace reverse check spring.
- Move cam and shaft all the way toward plate and release.
- If cam does not return properly, replace reverse check spring; if shaft does not, check for scratches on the inner surface of sleeve. If sleeve is in good order, replace spring.
- Select a suitable reverse accent shaft and reverse check plate by referring to "Neutral Position Adjustment."






2. Installation of shifter arm (1) and selector arm (8) Install shifter arm into the partition from the front while inserting selector arm into the opening in reverse check sleeve. Pass shaft through hole in selector arm until its end comes out of the rear of transfer case.

NOTE: Apply a coat of gear oil to shifter arm. Also make sure oil seal is positioned properly.

Tightening torque:
T1: 6.4 ± 0.5 Nm (4.7 ± 0.4 ft.lbs.)
T2: 10 ± 1 Nm (7.2 ± 0.7 ft. lbs.)
T3: 19.6 ± 1.5 Nm (14.5 ± 1.1 ft. lbs.)
T4: 25 ± 2 Nm (18.1 ± 1.4 ft. lbs.)

3. Combination Of Transfer Case And Extension Assembly





1. Install center differential (1) and transfer driven gear (2) into transfer case.

Tightening torque:
T: 37 ± 3 Nm (27.5 ± 2.2 ft. lbs.)





2. Selection of thrust washer (52 x 61 x t)
1) Measure height "W" between transfer case and ball bearing on the transfer driven gear I ,





2) Measure depth "X" as shown in figure.

(4) Extension
3) aculeate space ''Y" using the following equation:
Y = X - W + 0.24 mm (0.0094 in) [Thickness of gasket]





4) Select suitable washer in the table:

Standard clearance between thrust washer and ball bearing: 0.05 - 0.30 mm (0.0020 - 0.0118 inch)

5) Fit thrust washers on transfer drive shaft.





3. Install extension assembly into transfer case.









D: INSTALLATION
1. Install transfer case (2) with extension assembly (1).
2. Secure selector arm to shifter arm with shifter fork screw (3). Shifter arm should be caught by pawl of rod. Selector arm must be engaged with reverse check sleeve assembly.
3. Adjustment of neutral position
1. Shift gear into 3rd gear position.
2. Shifter arm turns lightly toward the 1st/2nd gear side but heavily toward the reverse gear side because of the function of the return spring, until arm contacts the stopper.
3. Make adjustment so that the heavy stroke (reverse side) is a little more than the light stroke (1st/2nd side).





4. To adjust, remove bolts holding reverse check sleeve assembly (4) to the case, move sleeve assembly outward, and place adjustment shim (0 to 1 ea.) between sleeve assembly and case to adjust the clearance.

CAUTION: Be careful not to break 0-ring when placing shim(s).
- When shim is removed, the neutral position will move closer to reverse; when shim is added, the neutral position will move closer to 1st gear.





- If shims alone cannot adjust the clearance, replace reverse accent shaft and re-adjust.








4. Reverse check plate (5) adjustment
Shift shifter arm to "5th". and then to reverse to see if reverse check mechanism operates properly. Also check to see if arm returns to neutral when released from the reverse position. If arm does not return properly, replace reverse check plate.





5. Install transfer (6) cover and gasket.
6. Connect each connector (7).
