Transfer Assembly Inspection (M/T)

Transfer Assembly Inspection

NOTE: To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and a bench vise.

Transfer Gear Backlash Measurement

1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position the dial indicator tip (C) on the top of the bolt (D).





2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.

Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.0024-0.0063 in)

Total Starting Torque Measurement

3. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with soft jaws.





4. Rotate the transfer companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearings.

5. Measure the starting torque at the companion flange (C) using a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E).






6. If the measurements are out of the standard, disassemble the transfer assembly, and repair it.
