OPERATION
The Transfer Unit provides the power to the rear
wheels through a hypoid ring gear and pinion set.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SEAL IDENTIFICATION
For accurate seal diagnosis, repair seal name and
location is critical. Refer to (Fig. 1), (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3)
and (Fig. 4) for correct seal name and location.
FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing fluid leaks on the Power Transfer
Unit two weep holes are provided to diagnose certain
seal leaks. These holes are located on the bottom side
of the assembly (Fig. 5).
If fluid leak is detected from either weep hole, seal
replacement is necessary.Do not attempt to repair
the leak by sealing weep holes,they must be kept
clear of sealants for proper seal operation.
If fluid is leaking from weep hole A (Fig. 5) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal needs
to be replaced. If the fluid leaking is red in color
(transmission fluid) this indicates that the Transmis-
sion differential carrier seal should be replaced. If
the fluid leaking is light brown (gear lube) this indi-
cates that the Power Transfer Unit input seal should
be replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.

If fluid is leaking from weep hole B (Fig. 5) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal is
leaking. If the fluid leaking is red in color (transmis-
sion fluid) this indicates that the input shaft end seal
should be replaced. If the fluid leaking is light brown
(gear lube) this indicates that the half shaft inner
seal and P.T.U. input shaft cover seal should be
replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.
Before condemning any seal or gasket be sure that
the rear rocker arm cover on the engine is not the
cause of the oil leak. Oil leaking from the rocker arm
cover is easily mistaken for a leaking Power Transfer
Unit.

(4) Place end cover onto P.T.U. case and install
bolts. Tighten bolts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.) in the
sequence shown in (Fig. 29). Retighten first bolt after
all other bolts are tight.
(5) Reinstall P.T.U. assembly.
(6) Check and fill fluids as required.
INPUT SHAFT COVER SEAL
REMOVAL
The power transfer unit input shaft cover seal is
the larger of the two seals located on the inside of
the end cover. The differential bearing cup must be
removed to service this seal.
(1) Remove P.T.U. end cover bolts (Fig. 30).
(2) Gently tap on end cover ears to separate cover
from case (Fig. 31).
(3) Use special tool No. 6514 and remove the dif-
ferential bearing race located in the end cover (Fig.
32). The race must be removed to gain access to the
seal.2
(4) Use special tool No. 7794-A to remove seal (Fig.
33).

The NV T850 transaxle is available with the 2.4L
Gas and 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine options. Unique
gearing tailored to the performance characteristics of
each engine provides optimum driveability, gradabil-
ity, and acceleration. The gear ratios are as follows:
GEARRATIO (2.4L

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Since transaxles use unique gear ratios for
each of the two engine applications, it is imperative
that the transaxle is properly identified, and the cor-
rect transaxle assembly number is used when
ordering service parts.The transaxle model, assembly part number, build
date, and final drive ratio (FDR) can be found on a
metal tag fastened to the transaxle case on the bell-
housing (Fig. 2). A barcode label is also glued to the
transaxle bellhousing, and it too includes the trans-
axle part number.

INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The intermediate shaft assembly (Fig. 227) is part
of the transaxle geartrain, meshes with and is driven
by the input shaft, drives the differential via an inte-
grated pinion gear, and consists of the following com-
ponents:
²Intermediate Mainshaft
²1st Speed Gear
²2nd Speed Gear
²3/4 Cluster Gear
²5th Speed Gear
²Reverse Gear
²1/2 Synchronizer
²5/R Synchronizer
The intermediate shaft is supported by a caged
roller bearing at the front of the transaxle, and a
sealed roller bearing at the rear of the transaxle.DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not re-use snap rings when servicing
the intermediate shaft assembly. Discard upon dis-
assembly and install new ones provided with avail-
able snap ring service kit.
NOTE: Depending on date of transaxle manufacture,
some intermediate shafts will utilize a needle bear-
ing under the 2nd and 5th Speed Gears.
(1) Install intermediate shaft assembly to arbor
press table with bearing splitter P-334 under the
reverse gear.
