O-2. STANDARD SHOP PRACTICES
1. Protect painted surfaces of the body, and
avoid staining or tearing seats. When working
on fenders and seats, be sure to cover them
up with sheets.
2. Disconnect negative terminal connection of
the battery when working on any electrical
part or component. This is necessary for
avoiding electrical shocks and short-circuit-
ing, and is very simple to accomplish: merely
loosen wing nut on negative terminal and
separate cable from terminal post.
3. In raising front or rear car end off the floor
by jacking, be sure to put the jack against
differential portion of axle housing.
NOTE:
Don’t get on the car, get under it or service it in
this state.
Fig. O-3 Front Side
4. To perform service with either front or rear
car end jacked up, be sure to place safety
stands under chassis frame so that body is
securely supported. Refer to below figures
for where to place safety stands. And then
check to ensure that chassis frame does not
slide on safety stands and the car is held
stable for safety’s sake.
WARNING:
Place chocks against both right and left
wheels on the ground from both front and
rear.

42. TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER,
DIFFERENTIAL OIL INSPECTION
AND CHANGE
[I nspectionl
1) Inspect transmission case, transfer case and
differential housing for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that the car is placed level for oil
level check.
3) Remove each level plug of transmission,
transfer and differential (front and rear).
In any of these cases, oil level can be checked
roughly by means of level plug hole. That is,
,if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil
level is found up to hole when level plug is
removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified
amount of specified oil as given in the below
table.
[Change]
Oil change procedure is as follows.
Place the car level and drain oil by removing
drain plug. Pour specified amount of specified
oil as in the below table and tighten drain plug
and filler plug to specified torque.
It is highly recommended to use SAE 75W-90
gear oil.

151. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These automobiles, covered in this manual are four-wheel drive machines and, as such, use three propeller
shafts designated as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.
No, 1 propeller shaft transmits drive from the transmission to the transfer gear box. No. 2 shaft and No. 3
shaft extend from the transfer gear box, the former driving the front axle and the latter the rear axle.
The cross spider in each universal joint is fitted with four needle roller bearings.
