release bearing with solvent. Apply a light coat of multipurpose
grease to release bearing sliding surface. Apply a very light coating
of grease to input shaft splines. DO NOT allow grease or dirt on
clutch disc or pressure plate surfaces.
3) To install remaining components, reverse removal
procedure. Refill all fluids to proper levels. Adjust all control
cables, clutch pedal height and free play. See CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS. See Fig. 1.
Removal (4WD Models)
1) Remove switch panel from rear console. Remove suspension
control switch or hole cover. Disconnect rear console harness
connector. Remove side panel. Remove rear console assembly. Remove
shift lever knob(s). Remove floor console harness connector. Remove
front console assembly.
2) Move transmission lever to Neutral position and transfer
lever to 4H (4WD high range) position. Remove control lever boot
retainer and boot. Remove transmission and transfer control lever
assemblies. Remove control lever bushing (transmission), gaskets and
stopper plates.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove skid plate and front
exhaust pipe. Drain transmission and transfer case fluid. Index mark
front and rear drive shaft flanges. Remove front and rear drive
shafts.
4) Remove drive shaft dust seals. Disconnect HI/LO and
2WD/4WD detection switch connectors. Disconnect back-up light switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock detection switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock operation switch
connector. Disconnect 4WD operation detection switch.
5) Disconnect speedometer cable. Remove clutch slave cylinder
heat shield. Remove clutch slave cylinder (without disconnecting
hydraulic line) and wire aside. Remove starter and starter cover.
Remove heat shield, both transmission stays and bellhousing lower
cover.
6) Support transmission with transmission jack. Remove
transfer case roll stopper and bracket. Remove crossmember and engine
mounting rear insulator. Remove transfer case protector bracket and
mass damper. Remove remaining bellhousing bolts. Pull toward rear of
vehicle to free transmission input shaft from clutch. Lower
transmission/transfer assembly from vehicle.
7) If reusing pressure plate, mark pressure plate to flywheel
for installation reference. Insert a clutch alignment tool to prevent
pressure plate and clutch disc from dropping. Loosen pressure plate
bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping pressure
plate flange during removal. Remove pressure plate and clutch disc.

1997-98 DRIVE AXLES
Mitsubishi Differentials & Axle Shafts - Front
Montero, Montero Sport
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Front axle assembly consists of a differential carrier,
housing tube, inner shaft and drive axles. See Figs. 1 and 2. A full-
floating axle design is used. Drive axles are flexible assemblies made
up of a shaft and an inner Birfield Joint (BJ) and an outer Double
Offset Joint (DOJ).

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: See TROUBLE SHOOTING - BASIC PROCEDURES article in the
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING section.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
AXLE SHAFTS R & I
Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels and undercover.
Ensure hub is in free-wheeling position. Place transfer case in 2H
position. Remove drive hub cover, snap ring and shim from axle shaft.
See Fig. 3 . Remove brake calipers and support aside.
2) Disconnect tie rod assembly. Support lower control arm
with jack. Separate ball joints from knuckle. Remove knuckle and front
hub assembly. Using flat-blade pry bar, carefully remove left axle
shaft from differential carrier. DO NOT damage oil seal. On right axle
shaft, remove axle shaft-to-inner shaft flange retaining bolts. Remove
right axle shaft.
CAUTION: Replace circlips on BJ/DOJ splined shaft end.
Installation
1) Install right axle shaft on inner shaft flange. Install
new circlip on DOJ side of left axle shaft. Carefully install left
axle shaft into differential. DO NOT damage oil seal.
2) Reinstall knuckle with front hub assembly. To complete
installation, reverse removal procedure. Install shim and snap ring.
Check axle end play. See Fig. 4. End play should be .016-.028" (.4-.7
mm). If end play is not within specification, install correct shim.
