3D-2 FRONT SUSPENSION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The front suspension is the strut type independent suspension. The upper end of a strut is anchored to the body
by a strut support. The strut and strut support are isolated by a rubber mount.
The lower end of the strut is connected to the upper end of a steering knuckle and lower end of knuckle is attached
to the stud of a ball joint which is incorporated in a unit with a suspension control arm. And this steering knuckle
is connected to the tie rod end.
Thus, movement of the steering wheel is transmitted to the tie rod end and then to the knuckle, eventually causing
the wheel-and-tire to move.

As the aluminum case is sealed with liquid type gas-
ket, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equiv-
alent on its mating surfaces when reassembling it.
Also, the case fastening bolts must be tightened to
specified torque by means of the torque wrench and
tightening over or below the specified torque should
be avoided.
The description under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in this
section covers a part of the TYPE 2 manual transmis-
sion and the transfer. The transfer is next to the trans-
mission as well, but their gear boxes are independent
and each of them has its own drain and level / filler
plugs for the oil change or the level check.
For the repair procedure of the transfer unit, refer to
Section 7D.
SECTION 7A
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
(TYPE 1)
CONTENTS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The manual transmission consists of the input shaft,
main shaft, countershaft and reverse gear which are
installed in the aluminum case. Its gears are of for-
ward five speeds in synchro mesh and reverse one
speed in constant mesh system.
The main shaft gears are held by the needle bearings
and on them the synchronizer rings and synchronizer
sleeve & hubs are assembled.
The gear shift lever case is located at the upper be-
hind the transmission case and has a cam which pre-
vents direct gear shift from the 5th speed gear to the
reverse gear.
