TRANSAXLE CLEANING AND CHECK
Clean the gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers, t hrust wash-
ers, oil feeder, shifter mechanism, gear case, and
with solvent. Dry all parts except the bearings with compressed
air. Allow the bearings to either air dry or wipe t
hem dry
with clean shop towels. Inspect the gears, bearings, shafts and thrust wash ers.
Replace the bearings and cups if the rollers are wo rn, chipped,
cracked, flat spotted or brinnelled, or if the bearing cage
is damaged or distorted. Replace the thrust washers if cracked,
chipped, or worn. Replace the gears if the teeth are chipped,
cracked, or wore thin. Inspect the synchronizers. R eplace
the sleeve if worn or damaged in any way. Replace t he stop
rings if the friction material is burned, flaking off, or worn.
Check the condition of the synchronizer keys and sp rings.
Replace these
if worn, cracked, or distorted.

5.If continuity exists, push in on servo switch. Check that
no continuity exists between terminal and the metal

OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK
1. Disconnect the oil temperature sensor connector.
2.Measure the resistance between the oil temperature sen-
sor side connector terminals 1 and 2, and check that
the values are as shown in the table below.
Standard values:
Oil temperature Resistance value

3. If the values are outside the standard values, r eplace
the oil temperature sensor.
