As the aluminum case is sealed with liquid type gas-
ket, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equiv-
alent on its mating surfaces when reassembling it.
Also, the case fastening bolts must be tightened to
specified torque by means of the torque wrench and
tightening over or below the specified torque should
be avoided.
The description under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in this
section covers a part of the TYPE 2 manual transmis-
sion and the transfer. The transfer is next to the trans-
mission as well, but their gear boxes are independent
and each of them has its own drain and level / filler
plugs for the oil change or the level check.
For the repair procedure of the transfer unit, refer to
Section 7D.
SECTION 7A
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
(TYPE 1)
CONTENTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The manual transmission consists of the input shaft,
main shaft, countershaft and reverse gear which are
installed in the aluminum case. Its gears are of for-
ward five speeds in synchro mesh and reverse one
speed in constant mesh system.
The main shaft gears are held by the needle bearings
and on them the synchronizer rings and synchronizer
sleeve & hubs are assembled.
The gear shift lever case is located at the upper be-
hind the transmission case and has a cam which pre-
vents direct gear shift from the 5th speed gear to the
reverse gear.

GEAR OIL
INSPECTION AND CHANGE
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and lift
vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check oil level and leakage. If leakage ex-
ists, correct or repair it.
3) Drain old oil and fill new specified oil as shown below by speci-
fied amount (roughly up to level hole).
NOTE:

It is highly recommended to use SAE 75W-90 gear oil.

Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work
than oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and
status of breather hoses.

If water or rust is mixed in drained oil, be sure to check
breather hose and boot of transmission and transfer.
