Reverse Check Mechanism: Construction
The reverse check sleeve is bolted to the transfer case. The reverse accent shaft is inserted in the reverse check sleeve. On the smaller-diameter side of this reverse accent shaft, the reverse check cam is loosely mounted so that it can rotate, and the reverse check sleeve holds the reverse check cam in place with its stepped part.
The reverse return spring, which is inserted in the reverse accent shaft presses the shaft to the left. Further, the reverse check spring is placed in between the reverse check cam and reverse check sleeve, which forces the reverse check cam to the left and in the direction of rotation. Both springs are held down with the reverse check plate that is attached to the reverse check sleeve with the snap ring. The reverse accent shaft has a groove for reverse accent, in which the ball and reverse accent spring are put through a hole drilled in the reverse check sleeve.
