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.

KEY±LESS TYPE SYNCHROMESH
FUNCTION
* HUB SLEEVE
There are three protrusions on the inside of the hub sleeve to
push the key spring.
* CLUTCH HUB
Three apertures are located around the clutch hub to secure the
synchronizer ring and key spring in place.
* KEY SPRING
The key spring has four claws. One claw is to secure the key spring
in place. Three claws also act as shifting keys as well as key
springs.
SYNCHRONIZER RING
A chamfered ledge is provided at three points along the outer pe-
riphery and a bolt is provided in each to secure a key spring. wThe oil used in each transaxle is as follows:
Transaxle oil E50 (08885±80206)
Recommended oil
Oil grade: AN GL±5
Viscosity: SAE 75W±90 or 80W±90
Above ±18
°C (0°F) SAE 90
Above ± 1 8°C (0°F) SAE 84W
wOil capacity: 5.0 Liters (s.3 Us qts, 4.4 Imp. qts)
OIL PUMP
The oil pump is of the trochoid type, and is driven by
the differential ring gear and the pump drive gear. It is
located at the bottom of the transaxle case.
Floor shift vehicles are provided will

INSPECTION OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE
1 . (Transmission Case Side)
IF NECESSARY. REPLACE OIL SEAL AND TAPER
ROLLER BEARING OUTER RACE
(a) Using screwdriver, remove the oil seal.
(b) Remove the transmission oil baffle.
(e) Install the shim.
(See page MT±96, 97)
HINT: First select and install a shim of leaser thick-
ness than before.
(g) Install the transmission oil baffle.
HINT: Install the transmission oil baffle projection
into the case side cutout. (f) Using SST and a press, install the taper roller bearing outer
race.
SST 09316±60010 (09316±00010, 09316±00040) (c) Using a brass bar and hammer, drive out the bear-
ing outer race lightly and evenly.
(d) Remove the shim.

7. INSTALL TRANSMISSION CASE
(a) Install the transmission case.
HINT: If necessary, tap on the case with a plastic ham-
mer.
(b) Install and torque the seventeen bolts.
Torque: 300 kg±cm (22 ft±lb, 29 N±m)
3. INSTALL SIDE BEARING '
Using SST and a press, install the side bearings onto
the differential case.
SST 09316±20011, 09506±35010
HINT: Press the bearing on the ring gear side first.
5. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY
Install the differential case assembly to the transaxle
case.
6. INSTALL OUTPUT SHAFT ASSEMBLY
Lift up the differential case, install the output shaft as-
sembly. 4. ADJUST OUTPUT SHAFT ASSEMBLY PRELOAD

(f) Install the bearing retainer.
(g) Using a torx wrench, install and torque the seven
bolts.
Torx wrench T45 09042±00050
Torque: 430 kg±cm (31 ft±Ib, 42 N±m)
(h) Install the new lock nut to the output shaft.
(i) Turn the output shaft right and left 'two or three
times to allow the bearings to settle.
(j) Using a torque meter, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting) :
New bearing 8 ± 16 kg±cm
(6.9 ± 13.9 in.±Ib,
0.8 ± 1.6 N±m)
Reused bearing 5 ±, 10 kg±cm
(4.3 ± 8.7 in.±lb, 0.5 ± 1.0 N±m)
If the preload is not within specification, select the
thrust washers.
HINT: The preload will change about 4 5 kg±cm
(3.5 4.3 in.±lb, 0.4 0.5 N±m) with each shim thick-
ness. (b) Install the transmission case.
HINT: If necessary, tap on the case with a plastic
hammer.
Install and torque the seventeen bolts.
Torque: 300 kg±cm (22 ft±lb, 29 N±m)
(d) Install the output shaft rear taper roller bearing outer
race.
(e) Install the adjust shim.
HINT: When re±using the output shaft bearing, first
install a shim of the same thickness as before. If
installing a new tapered roller bearing, first select
and install a shim of lesser thickness than before.
