*1: For further details, MA-11, "SAE Viscosity Number" .
*2: Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
*3: For Canada, NISSAN Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), DEXRON
TM III or MERCONTM or equivalent ATF may also be used.
*4: Available in mainland U.S.A. through your NISSAN dealer.
*5: For further details, see “Air conditioner specification label”.
*6: For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0° C (32° F).
*7: DEXRON
TM III, MERCONTM or equivalent may also be used. Outside the continental United States and Alaska contact a NISSAN
dealership for more information regarding suitable fluids, including recommended brand(s) of DEXRONTM III or MERCONTM Auto-

Checking Transfer FluidELS0010I
FLUID LEAKAGE AND FLUID LEVEL
1. Make sure that fluid is not leaking from the transfer assembly or around it.
2. Check fluid level from the filler plug hole as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking fluid level.
3. Install the filler plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to
the specified torque. Refer to TF-110, "
OVERHAUL" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Changing Transfer FluidELS0010J
DRAINING
1. Stop engine.
2. Remove the drain plug and gasket and drain the fluid.

specified limit near the filler plug hole.
CAUTION:
Carefully fill fluid. Fill up for approximately 3 minutes.
3. Leave the vehicle for 3 minutes, and check fluid level again.
4. Install the filler plug with a new gasket to the transfer. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer to TF-110,
"OVERHAUL" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking Propeller ShaftELS0010L
Check the front and rear propeller shafts for damage, dents, and cracks. Check the joints for looseness and
any damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
Checking Final Drive OilELS0010M
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the rear final drive oil must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-6,

PEDAL STROKE

When parking brake pedal is operated with the specified force, make sure the stroke is within the specified
number of notches. Check by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.
INSPECTION

Make sure the components are attached properly, checking for looseness or backlash.

Check parking brake pedal assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.

Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.

Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary. Refer to DI-32, "Wir-
ing Diagram — WARN —" .
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove lower driver instrument panel. Refer to IP-13, "Instrument Lower Cover LH" .
2. Partially engage parking brake pedal to access adjusting nut.
3. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen
cable sufficiently. Then, disengage the parking brake pedal.
4. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
5. Remove the rotor and measure inner diameter at widest point
using Tool.
6. Transfer measurement less 0.6 mm to the parking brake shoes
and adjust accordingly.
7. Using wheel nuts, secure the disc to the hub to prevent it from
tilting.
8. Rotate disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
9. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg,
11 0 l b ) .
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke to
specification.
c. With parking brake pedal completely disengaged, make sure
there is no drag on the parking brake.Pedal stroke : 3 − 4 notches [under force of 196 N (20.0 kg, 44.1 lb)]

REMOVAL
1. Put matching marks on the front propeller shaft flange yoke and
the companion flange of the front final drive as shown.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the flange
yoke and companion flange of the front final drive.
2. Remove the bolts and then remove the front propeller shaft from
the front final drive and transfer.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Inspect the propeller shaft run out. If run out exceeds the limit,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.

While holding the flange yoke on one side, check axial play of
the joint as shown. If the journal axial play exceeds the specifi-
cation, replace the propeller shaft assembly.

Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is
detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Refer to PR-3, "NVH Troubleshooting Chart" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always install new ones.
