TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
Dismounting and remounting of transfer and transmission together
as a unit is described in Section 7A for Manual Transmission or 7B1
for Automatic Transmission, but it is also possible to dismount and
remount transfer assembly by itself as described below.
DISMOUNTING
IN ENGINE ROOM
1) Disconnect negative (±) cable from battery.
2) Remove distributor assembly (if equipped).
3) Place wood block between engine and dash panel so that it
serves as stopper when engine, transmission and transfer unit
hangs down as rear mounting member is removed.
CAUTION:
Make sure to use wood block to prevent contact which
may occur between dash panel and CMP sensor case
(G16), CMP sensor (J20) or intake manifold (H25), and fan
and shroud.
IN CABIN
1) Remove console box.
2) Remove shift lever of transmission and transfer.
ON LIFT
1) Drain transfer oil.
2) Remove rear propeller shaft.
3) Remove front propeller shaft.
4) Disconnect exhaust center pipe.
5) Disconnect speed sensor coupler.
6) Place transmission jack and remove mounting member.
7) Lower transmission jack gradually and check to ensure that
wood block serves as stopper between engine and dash panel.
8) Remove bolts for gear shift lever case.
9) Pull off breather hose.

DIFFERENTIAL (REAR) 7F-1
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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the rear axle. It is set in the con-
ventional type axle housing.
The reduction ratio and differential case vary depend-
ing on transmission or engine type.
