LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair or
fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level check of
normal operating temperature. The checking procedure itself is the
same as that described previously. If the fluid level is between FULL
COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And when the fluid
temperature has reached the normal operating temperature, check
fluid level again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain A / T
fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

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.

DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT) 7E-1
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the front axle.
4WD control system controls drive force to be trans-
mitted to front axles or not. The reduction ratio varies
depending on transmission or engine type.The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.
