Transfer Clutch: Adjustment

  1. WITHOUT VTD 
    1. Measure distance L from end of extension case and rear drive shaft with ST.

      ST 398643600 GAUGE

      L = Measured value - 15 mm

      (L = Measured value - 0.59 in)

      Fig 1: Measuring Distance L
      G02053127
    2. Measure the distance "l" from the transmission case mating surface to the reduction drive gear end surface with ST1 and ST2.

      l = Measured value - 50 mm

      (l = Measured value - 1.97 in)

      ST1 398643600 GAUGE

      ST2 499577000 GAUGE

    3. Calculation equation:
      NOTE: Add 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) and 0.25 mm (0.0098 in) thick shims to area "T". Calculate formula 2 to determine "H". The calculated "H" refers to the shim thickness range. Select shims of suitable thicknesses within the calculated "H" range.

      T = (L + G) - l - H

      T: Shim clearance

      L: Distance from end of extension case to end of rear drive shaft

      G: Gasket thickness [0.45 mm (0.0177 in)]

      l: Height from end of transmission case to end of reduction drive gear

      H: Thrust needle bearing thickness

      0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.0020 - 0.0098 in)

  2. WITH VTD 
    1. Install the rear drive shaft into the reduction drive gear and center differential assembly.

      G02053130
    2. Measure the distance "l" from the transmission case mating surface to the reduction drive gear end surface with ST.

      l = Measured value - 50 mm

      (l = Measured value - 1.97 in)

      ST 398643600 GAUGE

      Fig 5: Measuring Distance l (Using ST)
      G02053131
    3. Calculation equation:
      NOTE: Add 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) and 0.20 mm (0.0079 in) thick shims to area "T". Calculate formula 2 to determine "H". The calculated "H" refers to the shim thickness range. Select shims of suitable thicknesses within the calculated "H" range.

      (0 to 4 teeth)

      T = (L + G) - l - H

      T: Shim clearance

      L: Distance from end of extension case to end of rear drive shaft

      G: Gasket thickness [0.45 mm (0.0177 in)]

      l: Height from end of transmission case to end of reduction drive gear

      H: Shim thickness

      0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.0020 - 0.0098 in)
