INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shift Rod Components

Check the working face of the shift rod and fork for wear, partial
wear, bending and other abnormality. If any is found, replace
with a new one.

Measure the clearance between the shift fork and sleeve. If it is
out of specification, replace it with a new one.

Planetary Carrier

Measure the end play of each pinion gear. If it is out of specifica-
tion, replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.

Check the working face of each gear and bearing for damage,
burrs, partial wear, dents and other abnormality. If any is found,
replace the planetary carrier assembly with a new one.
Sun Gear

Check if the oil passage of the sun gear assembly is clogged.
For this, try to pass a 3.6 mm (0.142 in) dia. pin through the oil
passage as shown.

Check the sliding and contact surface of each gear and bearing
for damage, burrs, partial wear, dents, and other abnormality. If
any is found, replace the sun gear assembly with a new one.
Internal Gear

Check the internal gear teeth for damage, partial wear, dents
and other abnormality. If any is found, replace the internal gear
with a new one.
Gears and Drive Chain

Check the gear faces and shaft for wear, cracks, damage, and
seizure.

Check the surfaces which contact the sun gear, clutch drum,
clutch hub, press flange, clutch piston and each bearing for
damage, peel, partial wear, dents, bending, or other abnormal
damage. If any is found, replace with a new one.Pinion gear end play : 0.1 - 0.7 mm (0.004 - 0.028 in)

Bearing

Make sure the bearings roll freely and are free from noise, pit-
ting and cracks.
Main Oil Pump
1. Check the inner and outer circumference, tooth face, and side-
face of the inner and outer gears for damage or abnormal wear.
2. Measure the side clearance between the main oil pump housing edge and the inner and outer gears.
3. Make sure the side clearance is within specification. If the mea- surement is out of specification, replace the inner and outer
gears with new ones as a set. Refer to TF-165, "
Main Oil Pump"
.
Sub-oil Pump
1. Check the inner and outer circumference, tooth face, and side-
face of the inner and outer gears for damage or abnormal wear.
2. Measure the side clearance between the sub oil pump housing edge and the inner and outer gears.
3. Make sure the side clearance is within specification. If the mea- surement is out of specification, replace the inner and outer
gears with new ones as a set. Refer to TF-165, "
Sub-oil Pump" .
Control Valve

Check resistance between the terminals of the clutch pressure
solenoid valve, 2-4WD shift solenoid valve, clutch pressure
switch, line pressure switch and the transfer fluid temperature
sensor. Refer to TF-90, "
COMPONENT INSPECTION" (clutch
pressure solenoid valve), TF-94, "
COMPONENT INSPECTION"
(2-4WD solenoid valve), TF-107, "COMPONENT INSPECTION"
(clutch pressure switch), TF-110, "COMPONENT INSPECTION"
(line pressure switch) and TF-104, "COMPONENT INSPEC-
TION" (transfer fluid temperature sensor).
