(2.1 ± 3.4 lb, 9.2 ± 15.3 N)
HINT: Turn the counter drive gear right and left
several times before measuring the preload. 2. CHECK COUNTER DRIVE GEAR PRELOAD
(a) Hold the overdrive planetary gear in a vise with soft
jaws.
HINT: Do not let the counter drive gear touch the vise. 6. INSTALL DIRECT CLUTCH ON CASE

12. CHECK OPERATION OF O/D ONE±WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install the overdrive direct clutch into the one±way
clutch.
(b) Hold the overdrive direct clutch and turn the intermedi-
ate shaft. The shaft should turn freely clockwise and
should lock counterclockwise.
(c) Remove the overdrive direct clutch.(c) Install the one±way clutch into the overdrive plan-
etary gear.
HINT: Be sure that the one±way clutch is installed
in the correct direction.
(d) Install the retaining plate. 11. INSTALL OVERDRIVE ONE±WAY CLUTCH AND
RETAINING PLATE
(a) Install the one±way clutch into the outer race.
(b) Install the two retainer on both sides of the one±
way clutch.
(e) Install the snap ring.

5. INSTALL OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR ONTO
OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH
While turning the overdrive planetary gear clockwise
install it onto the overdrive direct clutch. 2. INSTALL FLANGE, DISCS AND PLATES
(a) Install the flange, discs and plates.
Install in order: P=Plate D=Disc
Flange± D=P±D±P±D±P
4. INSTALL SNAP RING INTO CASE
Be sure the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned
with one of cutouts. (b) Install the cushion plate with the rounded end facing
upward.
3. POSITION PISTON RETURN SPRING

Torque Converter
INSPECTION OF TORQUE CONVERTER
1. INSERT SST IN END OF TORQUE CONVERTER
(a) Insert a turning tool into the inner race of the one±way
clutch.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32010)
2. TEST ONE±WAY CLUTCH
With the torque converter made stand, the clutch
should lock when turned counterclockwise, and rotate
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
CLEAN TORQUE CONVERTER
if the transmission is contaminated, the torque convert-
er and transmission cooler should be thoroughly
flushed with ATF. (b) Insert the stopper so that it fits in the notch of the
converter hub and outer race of the one±way
clutch.

4. ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) Install the transfer right case.
(b) Install and torque the ten bolts.
Torque: 450 kg±cm (33 ft±Ib, 44 N±m)
HINT: Do not apply seal packing and do not install gas-
ket. Each bolt length (mm (in.) is indicated in the figure.
(c) Using SST and a spring tension gauge, mea-
sure the total preload.

a different plate washer to the one selected in step 3.
Again adjust the backlash and total preload. (d) Adjust the total preload by tightening the adjust-
ing nut with SST.
SST 09318±12010
HINT: Measure the preload while tightening the
bearing adjusting nut a little at a time.
6. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at four different positions on the
ring gear with red lead.

Turn the gear counterclockwise and clockwise several
times.
(d) Using a torque meter, measure the preload of the drive
pinion.
Drive pinion preload (at starting):
New bearing
10 ± 16 kg±cm
(8.7 ± 13.9 in.±Ib, 1.0 ± 1.6 N±m)
Reused bearing
5 ± 8 kg±cm
(4.3 ± 6.9 in.±Ib, 0.5 ± 0.8 N±m)
wIf the preload is greater than specified, replace the
bearing spacer.
wIf the preload is less than specified, retighten the nut
130 kg±cm (9 ft±Ib, 13 N±m) at a time until the specified
preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload
procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
Maximum torque: 3,640 kg±cm (260ft±Ib, 353 N±m)
(e) If the preload is adjusted within specification, make a
note of it.
