DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
wThe E56F5 transaxle has been made compact by arranging the transmission, the center differen-
tial, the front differential and the transfer on the same quadruple case axle.
wThe center differential, which compensates for the difference between the rotation speed of the
front and rear wheels, provide¿durability and reliability by utilizing bevel gear to distributing the
engine power from the transmission to both the front and rear propeller shafts in a 50I50 split.±
This center differential has been equipped with a lock mechanism which enables the vehicle to
get out of the trouble spot more easily when one of the four wheels spins in the deep snow or
muddy roads, etc.

Single Unit Inspection
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK SWITCH
1. INSPECT CONTINUITY OF DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
SWITCH
(a) Disconnect the differential lock switch connector.
(b) Check continuity between terminals 1 to 4.
Switch ON: Continuity
Switch OFF: No continuity
4WD CONTROL SOLENOID
1. INSPECT OPERATION OF 4WD CONTROL SOLENOID
Check air flow of each port when the battery voltage is
applied and is not applied to terminals No.1, No.2 of
the solenoid.
Function Inspection
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL
INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL LOCK OPERATION
Start the engine. Check that the differential lock indica-
tor light comes on when the differential lock control
switch is turned to ON. Check that the light goes off
when the switch is turned to OFF.
HINT: After checking the system, turn the control switch
to OFF and check that the differential lock function is
released.
Reference: If the indicator light does not come on and
go out when the control switch is operated, move the
vehicle
slightly forward. when the system is operated it should
be normal.
TRANSFER VACUUM ACTUATOR
1. INSPECT ACTUATOR HOSE CONNECTION
Check that the actuator hoses are connected to the
solenoids and actuator tightly and properly.
Apply battery voltage

REPLACEMENT OF TRANSAXLE GEAR OIL
1. DRAIN TRANSAXLE OIL
2. FILL TRANSAXLE OIL WITH GEAR OIL
Oil: Transaxle oil E50 (08885±80206) or equivalent
Recommended oil
Oil grade: API G!±5
Viscosity: SAE 75W±90 or 80W±90
Above ±18°C (0°F) SAE 90
Below ±18°C (0°F) SAE 80W
Capacity: 5.0 liters (5.3 US qts, 4.4 Imp qts)
(MAIN POINT OF REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION)
1. REMOVE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
HINT: When removing transaxle from engine, remove as the
following procedure since cylinder block rib contacts
transfer case.
(a) Pull straight until there are space of 60 ± 80mm (2 ±3 in.)
between engine and transaxle case.
(e) While holding the transfer output slightly, pull out
whole transaxle.
2. INSTALL TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY FOLLOWING
REMOVAL SEQUENCE IN REVERSE(b) Move the transmission case cover to the arrow in the
illustration.
