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.

4WD CONTROL SYSTEM
When the 4WD switch is turned ON by shifting the transfer shift lever, ECM (PCM) (G16 and J20 engine models)
or 4WD controller (H25 engine model) actuates (energizes) the air pump assembly. Then positive pressure is sent
from the air pump assembly to the actuator installed to the differential case and causes the axle lock clutch and
the free axle hub in the differential case to be engaged, resulting in the 4WD mode. Only when running in the 4WD
mode, front axles are joined to differential case, and they become free when 2WD mode is used (or when transfer
shift lever is shifted to N position), thereby reducing the power loss.

7E-4 DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT)
Components and Functions
ComponentFunction
4WD switch
When the transfer shift lever is shifted to 4L or 4H position, this switch turns ON
and causes the 4WD control system to turn ON, unless it is shifted to N or 2H
within 1 second.
ECM or PCM
When the 4WD switch turns ON [unless it turns OFF within 1 second], this com-
ponent actuates the pump assembly. If the pressure in the air pump assembly
fails to increase higher than the set level even after the pump motor has run more
than 10 seconds, this component stops the motor to protect it.
Air pump assembly

Pump motor

Release valve

Pressure switchThe air pump assembly consists of a pump motor, release valve and a pressure
switch.
Pump motor:
Produces positive pressure which actuates the actuator.
Release valve:
Closes when transfer shift lever is shifted to 4H or 4L so that the positive pressure
is applied to the actuator, and opens when N or 2H to release the pressure to the
atmosphere.
Pressure switch:
Turns ON and OFF depending on the pressure level in the pump assembly
(whether higher or lower than the set pressure level). ECM or PCM detects the
pressure level through this switch.
Differential case assembly

Free axle hub

Axle lock clutch

ActuatorThe free axle hub, axle lock clutch and actuator are installed in the differential
left case. The positive pressure produced in the air pump assembly is applied
to the actuator which then pushes the axle lock clutch to be engaged with the free
axle hub. In this state, the drive force is transmitted to the front axle, resulting in
the 4WD mode.
When the actuator is free from the positive pressure [when it is under the atmo-
spheric pressure], the axle lock clutch is pushed back by the return spring force
and cannot be engaged with the free axle hub, resulting in the 2WD mode.
ª4WDº indicator lampIt lights up when 4WD control system is in the 4WD mode.
