INSPECTION
Input Shaft Bearing and Release Bearing
Check bearing for smooth rotation and replace it if abnormality is
found.
Clutch Disc
Measure depth of rivet head depression, i.e. distance between rivet
head and facing surface. If depression is found to have reached
service limit at any of holes, replace disc assembly.
Rivet head depth
Standard: 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
Service limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 in.)
Clutch Cover
1) Check diaphragm spring for abnormal wear or damage.
2) Inspect pressure plate for wear or heat spots.
3) If abnormality is found, replace it as assembly. Do not disas-
semble it into diaphragm and pressure plate.
Flywheel
Check surface contacting clutch disc for abnormal wear or heat
spots. Replace or repair as required.

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.
