sert input shaft into holder by lightly tapping it by
hand.8) Install the snap ring to input shaft holder.
NOTE:
Select a suitable snap ring so that clearance be-
tween snap ring and bearing is held within 0 to 0.12
mm (0 to 0.0047 in).

9) Install the O-ring to input shaft holder.
E: INSPECTION
Disassembled parts should be washed clean first
and then inspected carefully.
1) Bearings
Replace the bearings in the following cases:
 Bearings whose balls, outer races and inner rac-
es are broken or rusty.
 Worn bearings
 Bearings that fail to turn smoothly or make noise
when turned after gear oil lubrication.
 Bearings having other defects
2) Bushing (each gear)
Replace the bushing in the following cases:
 When the sliding surface is damaged or abnor-
mally worn.
 When the inner wall is abnormally worn.

3) Gears
 Replace the gears with new ones if their tooth
surfaces are broken, damaged, or excessively
worn.
 Correct or replace if the cone that contacts the
baulk ring is rough or damaged.
 Correct or replace if the inner surface or end face
is damaged.
4) Baulk ring
Replace the ring in the following cases:
 When the inner surface and end face are dam-
aged.
 When the ring inner surface is excessively or
partially worn down.
 When the contact surface of the synchronizer
ring insert is scored or abnormally worn down.
5) Shifting insert key
Replace the insert if deformed, excessively worn,
or defective in any way.
6) Oil seal
Replace the oil seal if the lip is deformed, hard-
ened, damaged, worn, or defective in any way.
7) O-ring
Replace the O-ring if the sealing face is deformed,
hardened, damaged, worn, or defective in any way.
8) Gearshift mechanism
Repair or replace the gearshift mechanism if ex-
cessively worn, bent, or defective in any way.
9) Measure the clearance between snap ring and
ball bearing using thickness gauge.
Clearance:
0 — 0.12 mm (0 — 0.0047 in)
If the measurement is not within specification, se-
lect a suitable snap ring.F: ADJUSTMENT
1) Place transmission main shaft assembly and in-
put shaft on transmission main case without shim.
2) The proper number of shim can be determined
as follows:
D = A−(B+C)
A: Main case length (353 mm (13.90 in)
B: Input shaft complete length
C: Main shaft assembly length
NOTE:
The thickness of shim is 0.45 to 0.55 mm (0.0177 to
0.0217 in).

from vehicle. Transmission Assembly.>
2) Remove the transfer case with extension case
assembly. Case and Extension Case Assembly.>
3) Remove the transmission case. 62, REMOVAL, Transmission Case.>
4) Remove the drive pinion shaft assembly.
NOTE:
Use a hammer handle, etc. to remove if too tight.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Remove the differential assembly.
2) Alignment marks/numbers on hypoid gear set:
The upper number on driven pinion is the match
number for combining it with hypoid driven gear.
The lower number is for shim adjustment. If no low-
er number is shown, the value is zero. The number
on hypoid driven gear indicates a number for com-
bination with drive pinion.3) Place the drive pinion shaft assembly on right
hand transmission main case without shim and
tighten the bearing mounting bolts.
4) Inspection and adjustment of ST:
NOTE:
 Loosen the two bolts and adjust so that the scale
indicates 0.5 correctly when the plate end and the
scale end are on the same level.
 Tighten the two bolts.
