Transfer Assembly Backlash Inspection On Vehicle (M/T)

Transfer Assembly Backlash Inspection on Vehicle

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and make sure it is securely supported.

2. Shift the transmission into neutral.

3. Make reference marks (A) across the No. 1 propeller shaft (B) and the transfer companion flange (C).





4. Separate the No. 1 propeller shaft from the transfer assembly.

5. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B), then measure the transfer gear backlash.









6. If the measurement is not within the standard, remove the transfer assembly Transfer Assembly Removal (M/T), and inspect the transfer assembly Transfer Assembly Inspection (M/T).

7. Check for fluid leaks between the mating surfaces of the transfer assembly and the transmission.

8. If there is a leak, remove the transfer assembly from the transmission Transfer Assembly Removal (M/T), and replace the O-ring. Also check for fluid leaks between the mating surfaces of the transfer housing and transfer holder. If there is a leak, remove the transfer holder, and replace the O-ring.

9. Check for fluid leaks between the transfer companion flange and the transfer oil seal.

10. If there is a leak, remove the transfer assembly from the transmission Transfer Assembly Removal (M/T), and replace the transfer oil seal and the O-ring on the transfer output shaft. If the oil seal and the O-ring replacement is required, you will need to check and adjust the transfer gear tooth contact, the transfer gear backlash, the tapered roller bearing starting torque, and the total starting torque.
