0B-24 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
FINAL INSPECTION
Seats
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at
any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of
front seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
Seat Belt
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
If ªREPLACE BELTº label on front seat belt is visible,
replace belt.
Check that seat belt is securely locked.
Battery Electrolyte Level Check
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is
between the upper and lower level lines on the case.
If battery is equipped with built-in indicator, check bat-
tery condition by the indicator.
Accelerator Pedal Operation
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting
caught or interfered by and other part.
Engine Start
Check engine start for readiness.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each select lever position. The starting mo-
tor should crank only in ªPº (Park) or ªNº (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, place the shift le-
ver in ªNeutral,º depress clutch pedal fully and try to
start.
Exhaust System Check
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
Clutch (For Manual transmission)
Check for the following:

Clutch is completely released when depressing
clutch pedal.

No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and
accelerating.

Clutch itself is free from any abnormal condition.
Gearshift or Select Lever (Transmission)
Check gear shift or select lever for smooth shifting to
all positions and for good performance of transmis-
sion in any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also
check that shift indicator indicates properly according
to which position select lever is shifted to.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, make
sure that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting se-
lect lever to ªPº range position and release all brakes.
Brake
[Foot brake]
Check the following:

that brake pedal has proper travel,

that brake works properly,

that it is free from noise,

that braking force is applied equally on all wheels,

and that brake do not drag.
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and
brake lever is pulled all the way.
WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe
place where no man or no running vehicle is
seen so as to prevent any accident.
WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be
sure to have enough room around the vehicle.
Then, firmly apply both the parking brake and
the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator
pedal. If the engine starts, be ready to turn off
the ignition promptly. Take these precautions
because the vehicle could move without warn-
ing and possibly cause personal injury or
property damage.

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.

DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Before attempting to repair the transfer or related components for any reason other than mechanical failure, the
condition and probable causes should be identified.
Transfer failures are revealed by shifting difficulties such as excessive shifting effort, gear clash, or gear grinding.
When any of these conditions occur, the following inspections should be made before disassembling the transfer.
1) Check transfer oil level for insufficient or incorrect oil. Refer to ªTransfer and Differential Oil Inspection and
Changeº in SECTION 0B ªMAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATIONº.
2) Check transfer mountings for wear or looseness.
3) Check gearshift control lever for distortion or excessive wear.
After performing the above inspections, refer to following diagnosis table.
