REMOVAL
1. Set transfer state as 2WD when 4WD shift switch is at 2WD.
2. Remove the undercovers using power tool.
3. Drain the transfer fluid. Refer to DLN-127, "
Replacement".
4. Remove the center exhaust tube and main muffler. Refer to EX-6, "
Removal and Installation".
5. Remove the front and rear propeller shafts. Refer to DLN-184, "
Removal and Installation" (front), DLN-
184, "Removal and Installation" (rear).
CAUTION:
Do not damage spline, sleeve yoke and rear oi l seal when removing rear propeller shaft.
NOTE:
Insert a plug into the rear oil seal after removing the rear propeller shaft.
6. Remove the A/T nuts from the A/T crossmember. Refer to TM-216, "
Removal and Installation (4WD)".
7. Position two suitable jacks under the A/T and transfer assembly.
8. Remove the crossmember. Refer to TM-216, "
Removal and Installation (4WD)".
WARNING:
Support A/T and transfer assembly using two suitable jacks while removing crossmember.
9. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the following: • ATP switch

• Breather tube (transfer)
• Transfer motor
11. Remove the transfer control dev ice from the extension housing.
12. Remove the transfer to A/T and A/T to transfer bolts.
13. Remove the transfer assembly. WARNING:
Support transfer assembly with su itable jack while removing it.
CAUTION:
Do not damage rear oil seal (A/T).
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten the bolts to specification.
• Fill the transfer with new fluid and check for fluid leakage and fluid level. Refer to DLN-127, "
Replacement".
• Start the engine for one minute. Then stop the engine and recheck the transfer fluid. Refer to DLN-127, "
Inspection".

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
33. Remove the control valve assembly bolts.
34. Remove the control valve assembly.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse any part that has been dropped or damaged.
• Make sure valve is assembled in the proper direction.
• Do not use a magnet because residual magnetism stays
during disassembly.
35. Remove the lip seals from the center case. CAUTION:
There are two kinds of lip seals (lip seal of large inner diam-
eter: 5 pieces, lip seal of small inner diameter: 2 pieces).
Confirm the position before disassembly.
36. Disassemble the control valve assembly with the following procedure. CAUTION:
• Do not reuse any part that has been dropped or damaged.
• Make sure valve is assembled in the proper direction.
• Do not use a magnet because residual magnetism stays during disassembly.
a. Remove all the bolts except for the two shown.
b. Remove the following from the control valve assembly: • Clutch pressure solenoid valve
• Clutch pressure switch
• 2-4WD shift solenoid valve
• Line pressure switch
• Transfer fluid temperature sensor
c. Remove the O-rings from each solenoid valve, switch and termi- nal body.

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 DLN-140, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
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 DLN-140, "
Disassembly
and Assembly".
Control Valve
• Check resistance between the terminals of the clutch pressuresolenoid valve, 2-4WD shift solenoid valve, clutch pressure switch,
line pressure switch and the transfer fluid temperature sensor.
Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (clutch pressure
solenoid valve), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (2-4WD
solenoid valve), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (clutch
pressure switch), DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly" (line
pressure switch) and DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly"
(transfer fluid temperature sensor).
• Check the sliding faces of the control valves and plugs for abnor- mality. If any is found, replace the control valve assembly with a
new one. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
CAUTION:
Replace control valve body together with clutch return spring
as a set. Specification : 0.015 - 0.035 mm (0.0006 - 0.0014 in)

f. With the lower body down, tighten the two bolts shown.
g. Apply ATF to the new O-rings, and install them to each solenoid valve, switch and terminal body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
h. Install the following to the control valve assembly: • Clutch pressure solenoid valve
• Clutch pressure switch
• 2-4WD shift solenoid valve
• Line pressure switch
• Transfer fluid temperature sensor
10. Apply ATF to the new lip seals, and install them to the center case.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse lip seals.
• There are 2 kinds of lip seals (lip seal of large inner diam-eter: 5 pieces, lip seal of small inner diameter: 2 pieces).
Confirm their position for installation.
11. Install the control valve assembly to the center case, and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to DLN-140, "
Disassembly and
Assembly".
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse any part that has been dropped or damaged.
• Make sure valve is assembled in the proper direction.
• Do not use a magnet becau se residual magnetism stays
during assembly.
12. Install the connector assembly into the center case, and secure with a snap ring.
13. Apply ATF to the new O-rings, and install them on the oil strainer.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
14. Install the oil strainer to the control valve assembly.
