NOTE:
When the vehicle is left unattended for an extended period of time, water may accumulate in the fuel
tank.
To prevent water condensation:
1) Top off the fuel tank or drain the fuel completely.
2) Drain water condensation from the fuel filter.
Refilling the fuel tank:
Refill the fuel tank while there is still some fuel left in the tank.
Protecting the fuel system against freezing and water condensation:
1) Cold areas
In snow-covered areas, mountainous areas, skiing areas, etc. where ambient temperatures drop
below 0°C (32°F) throughout the winter season, use an anti-freeze solution in the cooling system.
Refueling will also complement the effect of anti-freeze solution each time the fuel level drops to about
one-half. After the winter season, drain water which may have accumulated in the fuel filter and fuel
tank in the manner same as that described under affected areas as below.
2) Affected areas
When water condensation is notched in the fuel filter, drain water from both the fuel filter and fuel tank
or use a water removing agent (or anti-freeze solution) in the fuel tank.
Observe the instructions, notes, etc., indicated on the label affixed to the anti-freeze solution (water
removing agent) container before use.

2-8DIAGNOSTICS
1. Fuel System

1. Clutch System
Condition Possible cause and testing Corrective action
1. Clutch slip-
pageIt is hard to perceive clutch slippage in the early stage, but pay attention to the following symptoms.
(a) Engine revs up when shifting.
(b) High speed driving is impossible; especially rapid acceleration impossible and vehicle speed does not increase in
proportion to an increase in engine speed.
(c) Power falls, particularly when ascending a slope, and there is a smell of burning of the clutch facing.
Method of testing: Put the vehicle in stationary condition with parking brake fully applied. Disengage the clutch and
shift the transmission gear into the first. Gradually allow the clutch to engage while gradually increasing the engine
speed. The clutch function is satisfactory if the engine stalls. However, the clutch is slipping if the vehicle does not
start off and the engine does not stall.
(a) No clutch pedal play Readjust.
(b) No release lever end play Readjust.
(c) Clutch facing smeared by oil Replace.
(d) Worn clutch facing Replace.
(e) Deteriorated diaphragm spring Replace.
(f ) Distorted pressure plate or flywheel Correct or replace.
(g) Defective release bearing holder Correct or replace.
(h) Defective pedal and cable system Correct or replace.
2. Clutch
drags.As a symptom of this trouble, a harsh scratching noise develops and control becomes quite difficult when shifting
gears. The symptom becomes more apparent when shifting into the first gear. However, because much trouble of the
this sort is due to defective synchronization mechanism, carry out the test as described after.
Method of testing: Refer to DIAGNOSTIC DIAGRAM on page after.
It may be judged as insufficient disengagement of clutch if any noise occurs during this test.
(a) Excessive clutch pedal play Readjust.
(b) Excessive clutch release lever play Readjust.
(c) Worn or rusty clutch disc hub spline Replace clutch disc.
(d) Excessive deflection of clutch disc facing Correct or replace.
(e) Seized crankshaft pilot needle bearing Replace.
(f ) Malfunction of pedal and cable system Correct or replace.
(g) Cracked clutch disc facing Replace.
(h) Sticked clutch disc (smeared by oil or water) Replace.
3. Clutch chat-
ters.Clutch chattering is an unpleasant vibration to the whole body when the vehicle is just started with clutch partially
engaged.
(a) Improper clutch cable routing Correct.
(b) Adhesion of oil on the facing Replace clutch disc.
(c) Weak or broken torsion spring Replace clutch disc.
(d) Defective facing contact or excessive disc Replace clutch disc defection.
(e) Warped pressure plate or flywheel Correct or replace.
(f ) Loose disc rivets Replace clutch disc.
(g) Loose engine mounting Retighten or replace mounting.
(h) Improper adjustment of pitching stopper Adjustment.

2-10DIAGNOSTICS
1. Clutch System

1. Manual Transmission and
Differential
Symptom and possible cause Remedy
1. Gears are difficult to intermesh.
The cause for difficulty in shifting gears can be classified into two kinds: one is malfunction of the gear shift system and the
other is malfunction of the transmission. However, if the operation is heavy and engagement of the gears is difficult, defective
clutch disengagement may also be responsible. Check whether the clutch is correctly functioning, before checking the gear
shift system and transmission.
(a) Worn, damaged or burred chamfer of internal spline of
sleeve and reverse driven gearReplace.
(b) Worn, damaged or burred chamfer of spline of gears Replace.
(c) Worn or scratched bushings Replace.
(d) Incorrect contact between synchronizer ring and gear
cone or wearCorrect or replace.
2. Gear slips out.
(1) Gear slips out when coasting on rough road.
(2) Gear slips out during acceleration.
(a) Defective pitching stopper adjustment Adjust.
(b) Loose engine mounting bolts Tighten or replace.
(c) Worn fork shifter, broken shifter fork rail spring Replace.
(d) Worn or damaged ball bearing Replace.
(e) Excessive clearance between splines of synchronizer hub
and synchronizer sleeveReplace.
(f) Worn tooth step of synchronizer hub (responsible for slip-
out of 3rd gear)Replace.
(g) Worn 1st driven gear, needle bearing and race Replace.
(h) Worn 2nd driven gear, needle bearing and race Replace.
(i) Worn 3rd drive gear and bushing Replace.
(j) Worn 4th drive gear and bushing Replace.
(k) Worn reverse idler gear and bushing Replace.
3. Unusual noise comes from transmission.
If an unusual noise is heard when the vehicle is parked with its engine idling and if the noise ceases when the clutch is
disengaged, it may be considered that the noise comes from the transmission.
(a) Insufficient or improper lubrication Lubricate or replace with specified oil.
(b) Worn or damaged gears and bearings Replace.
NOTE: If the trouble is only wear of the tooth surfaces, merely
a high roaring noise will occur at high speeds, but if any part
is broken, rhythmical knocking sound will be heard even at
low speeds.

2. INHIBITOR SWITCH
The inhibitor switch allows the back-up lights to turn on
when the select lever is in the R range and the starter
motor to start when the lever is in the N or P range. It also
monitors the input signal electronically controlled for each
range and turns on the corresponding range light on the
instrument panel.
When light operation, driving condition or starter motor
operation is erroneous, first check the shift linkage for
improper operation. If the shift linkage is functioning
properly, check the inhibitor switch.

(1) Disconnect cable end from select lever.
(2) Disconnect inhibitor switch connector.
(3) Check continuity in inhibitor switch circuits with
select lever moved to each position.
CAUTION:
Also check that continuity in ignition circuit does not
exist when selector lever is in R, D, 3, 2 and 1 ranges.

If“tight-corner braking”occurs when the steering wheel is
fully turned at low speed:
1) Determine the applicable trouble code and check the
corresponding duty solenoid C (transfer) for improper
operation.
2) If the solenoid is operating properly, check transfer
clutch pressure.
3) If oil pressure is normal but“tight-corner braking”
occurs:
Check the transfer control valve for sticking, and the trans-
fer clutch facing for wear.
