TRANSFER 7D-1
The aluminum transfer case directly connected to the
back of the transmission contains the input gear,
countershaft & gear, output rear shaft, output low gear
and output front shaft (for front drive) connected by
way of the hyvo-chain.
The transfer has such a selective mechanism as to
enable the shift control lever to make selection of high
speed (direct connection with transmission output:
main shaft), low speed (speed reduction by input
gear, counter gear and output low gear) or neutral by
way of the reduction sleeve located between input
gear and output low gear, and selection of two-wheel-
drive (high speed only) or four-wheel-drive (high or
low speed) by way of the front drive clutch sleeve lo-cated at the center of the output rear shaft. Also, with
a synchronizer installed to the front drive clutch, it is
possible to change the drive mode between 2WD
(high speed only) and 4WD (high speed only) even
while running.
The front drive shift fork has an auxiliary spring to
make a smooth shift from 4H to 2H possible.
The case has an oil gutter and a plate at synchronizer
to provide proper lubrication even under the strict
conditions of use.
WARNING:
For towing the vehicle for the purpose of repair or
the like, follow the towing instructions in OWN-
ER'S MANUAL.
