(71) Check clutch and brake operation. Operate
clutches and brakes with compressed air applied
through feed holes in case (Fig. 56). Listen for clutch
and brake application. If you do not hear a clutch or
brake apply, disassemble transmission and repair
fault before proceeding.It is necessary to block
the overdrive clutch accumulator feed hole No.
8 (Fig. 56) in order to check direct clutch oper-
ation.
(72) Lubricate and install new O-rings on accumu-
lator pistons (Fig. 57).
(73) Assemble and install accumulator pistons and
springs (Fig. 57).

stalled as shown.
(83) Install new gaskets on oil screen and install
screen on valve body. Tighten screen bolts to 10 Nzm
(7 ft. lbs.) torque.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean the transfer case components thoroughly
with solvent. Remove all traces of sealer from the
case and retainer seal surfaces.Clean the oil pickup screen with solvent and dry it
with compressed air. Also use compressed air to re-
move solvent residue from all oil feed passages and
channels.
Inspect the low range annulus gear (Fig. 28).If
the gear is damaged, replace the gear and front
case as an assembly. Do not attempt to remove
the gear.
Inspect the case halves, extension housing and re-
tainers for cracks, porosity, or damaged sealing sur-
faces. Inspect the shafts, gears, chain and shift
components for wear or damage. Replace the oil
pump as an assembly if any pump part is worn or
damaged.
Inspect all of the transfer case bearings for wear,
roughness, pitting, or galling. Replace worn or dam-
aged bearings as outlined in the assembly section.
TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: The bearing bores in various transfer
case components contain oil feed holes. Be sure re-
placement bearings do not block these feed holes.
(1) Lubricate components with automatic transmis-
sion fluid (or petroleum jelly where indicated) during
assembly.
(2) Remove front output shaft seal from front case.
(3) Remove front output shaft bearing snap ring
(Fig. 29).
(4) Tap old front output shaft bearing out of front
case with plastic mallet. Install new bearing with
Tool Handle C-4171 and Installer Tool 5064 (Fig. 30).
(5) Secure front output shaft bearing in front case
with new snap ring (Fig. 29).
(6) Install new front output shaft seal in front
case.
(7) Press input gear bearing from the front case
with Tool Handle C-4171 and Installer Tool C-4210
(Fig. 31). Then turn front case over.
