Transfer Assembly Reassembly
NOTE:
^ While reassembling the transfer assembly:
^ Check and adjust the transfer gear tooth contact. Measure and adjust the transfer gear backlash.
^ Check and adjust the tapered roller bearing starting torque.
^ Coat all parts with ATF during reassembly.
^ Replace the tapered roller bearing and the bearing outer race as a set if either part is replaced.
^ Replace the transfer drive gear and the transfer driven gear shaft as a set if either part is replaced.
Outline Of Assembly
1. Select the 35 mm thrust shim.
Perform this procedure if the transfer driven gear shaft or the tapered roller bearing on the transfer driven gear shaft is replaced.
2. Preassemble the parts to check and adjust transfer gear backlash and transfer gear tooth contact.
3. Disassemble the parts, then assemble the transfer driven gear shaft and its related parts.
4. Measure and adjust the starting torque of the transfer driven gear shaft tapered roller bearing.
5. Assemble the transfer shaft and its related parts.
6. Measure and adjust the total starting torque.
35 mm Thrust Shim Selection
1. Select the 35 mm thrust shim if the transfer driven gear shaft or the tapered roller bearing on the transfer driven gear shaft is replaced.
Calculate the thickness of the 35 mm thrust shim using the formula below.
FORMULA: A/100 - B/100 + C = X
A: Number on the existing transfer driven gear shaft
B: Number on the replacement transfer driven gear shaft
C: Thickness of the existing 35 mm thrust shim
X: Thickness needed for the replacement 35 mm thrust shim
NOTE: The number on the transfer driven gear shaft is shown in 1/100 mm.
X = A/100 - B/100 + C = 2/100 - (-1)/100 + 1.05 = 0.02 + 0.01 + 1.05 = 1.08 (mm)
Select 35 mm thrust shim thickness of 1.08 mm (0.043 inch). If the tapered roller bearing on the transfer driven gear shaft is replaced.
Measure the thickness of the replacement bearing and the existing bearing, and calculate the difference of the bearing thickness. Adjust the thickness of the existing 35 mm thrust, shim by the amount of difference in bearing thickness, and select the replacement 35 mm thrust shim.
Transfer Gear Backlash Inspection And Transfer Gear Tooth Contact Inspection
2. Install the 35 mm thrust shim on the transfer driven gear shaft, then install the tapered roller bearing using the special tools and a press.

6. Install the companion flange, conical spring washer, and locknut on the transfer driven gear shaft. Do not install the O-ring and the back-up ring on the transfer gear shaft in this step.
7. Secure the transfer housing in a bench vise with soft jaws, then install the special tool on the companion flange. To prevent damage to the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the vise.
8. Tighten the locknut while measuring the starting torque so the starting torque is within 0.98 - 1.39 Nm (10.0 - 14.2 kgf.cm, 8.68 - 12.3 inch lbs.).
NOTE:
^ Coat the threads of the locknut, and the shaft with ATF before installing the locknut.
^ Do not stake the locknut in this step.
STARTING TORQUE: 0.98 - 1.39 Nm (10.0 - 14.2 kgf.cm, 8.68 - 12.3 inch lbs.)
9. Install the transfer shaft in the transfer housing, then install the tapered roller bearing, transfer shaft collar, 25 mm thrust shim, transfer drive gear, conical spring washer, and locknut on the transfer shaft.
NOTE:
^ Coat the threads of the locknut, and the shaft with ATF before installing the locknut.
^ Do not stake the locknut in this step.
10. Put a 14 mm Allen wrench in the gear side of the transfer shaft, then secure the Allen wrench in a bench vise.
11. Tighten the transfer shaft locknut.
NOTE:
^ The transfer shaft locknut has left-hand threads.
^ Do not stake the locknut in this step.
12. Temporarily install the transfer cover A without the O-ring.

14. Set a dial indicator on the companion flange, then measure the transfer gear backlash.
STANDARD: 0.06 - 0.16 mm (0.02 - 0.06 inch)
15. If the measurement is not within the standard, remove the transfer shaft locknut and replace the 25 mm thrust shim. Select and install a new 25 mm thrust shim, then recheck the measurement. Do not use more than two 25 mm thrust shims to adjust the transfer gear backlash.
16. Apply Prussian Blue to both sides of the transfer gear teeth lightly and evenly.
17. Rotate the companion flange in both directions until the transfer gear rotates one full turn in both directions.
18. Check the transfer gear tooth contact pattern.
19. If the transfer gear tooth contact is incorrect, adjust the transfer gear tooth contact with a 35 mm or 25 mm thrust shim.
NOTE:
^ To select a 35 mm thrust shim.
^ Do not use more than two 35 mm shims to adjust the transfer gear tooth contact.
^ To select the 25 mm thrust shim.
^ Do not use more than two 25 mm shims to adjust the transfer gear tooth contact.
- Toe Contact
Use a thicker 35 mm thrust shim to move the transfer driven gear shaft toward the transfer drive gear. Because this movement causes the transfer gear backlash to change, move the transfer drive gear away from the transfer driven gear shaft to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:
- Increase the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim.
- Reduce the thickness of the 68 mm thrust shim by the amount of increased thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim.
- Heel Contact
Use a thinner 35 mm thrust shim to move the transfer driven gear shaft away from the transfer drive gear. Because this movement causes the transfer gear backlash to change, move the transfer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:
- Reduce the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim.
- Increase the thickness of the 68 mm thrust shim by the amount of reduced thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim.
- Flank Contact
Use a thinner thrust shim to move the transfer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft. Flank contact must be adjusted within the limits of the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash exceeds the limits, adjust as described under Heel Contact.
- Face Contact
Use a thicker thrust shim to move the transfer drive gear away from the transfer driven gear shaft. Face contact must be adjusted within the limits of the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash exceeds the limits, adjust as described under Toe Contact.
20. Remove the parts on the transfer shaft, and remove the transfer shaft from the transfer housing.
