Caution
Denting or scratching these components will reduce the ability of the transaxle to shift properly.
When handling these components or the valve body that contains them, be careful not to drop or
hit them.
1. Disassemble in the order indicated in the table.
2. Neatly arrange the removed parts to avoid confusing the similar parts.
Warning
Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes.
Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air.
05-17B41

3. Clean the removed parts with cleaning solvent, then use compressed air to dry them. Use compressed air to
clean out all holes and passages.

Caution
Denting or scratching these precisely machined components will reduce the ability of the
transaxle to shift properly. When handling these components or the valve body that contains
them, be careful not to drop or hit them.
Using a magnet in this procedure could magnetize the valve body inner components, reducing the
ability of the transaxle to shift properly. Do not use magnets or magnetized tools when carrying
out maintenance on these components.
Note
If a valve does not slide out under its own weight, place the valve body open-side down and tap on the
valve body lightly with a plastic hammer.
Warning

Precaution
General notes
1. Select the adjustment shims, referring to Bearing Preload.
2. If the drive plates or 2-4 brake band are replaced with new ones, soak the new part in ATF for at least two hours
before installation.
3. Before assembly, apply ATF to all seal rings, rotating parts, O-rings, and sliding parts.
4. All O-rings, seals, and gaskets must be replaced with the new ones included in the overhaul kit.
5. Use petroleum jelly, not grease, when assembling again.
6. When it is necessary to replace a bushing, replace the subassembly that includes that bushing.
7. Assemble the housing within 10 minutes after applying sealant, and allow it to cure for at least 30 minutes after
assembly before filling the transaxle with ATF.
Warning
Although the stand has a self-locking brake system, there is a possibility that the brake may not
hold when the transaxle is held in a lopsided position on the stand. This would cause the transaxle
to turn suddenly, causing serious injury. Never keep the transaxle tilted to one side. Always hold
the rotating handle firmly when turning the transaxle.

Cleaning Precautions
1. Clean the surface of the transfer using steam and cleaning fluids when disassembly.
Warning
Always wear safety glasses when using compressed air since the foreign material could be blown
by the compression air and damage your eyes.
2. Clean removed components with cleaning fluids and use compressed air to blow off the oil. Clean the oil holes
and passages with compressed air.

TRANSFER DISASSEMBLY [GF4AX-EL]
ezf051727500104
Before Service Precautions

To prevent the foreign material from entering the transfer, perform disassembly and servicing in a clean, dustfree environment.
Inspect the each part while disassembling.
Disassemble with bare hand or using vinyl gloves. To prevent foreign material from entering the transfer, do not
use cotton work gloves or rag.
When disassembling areas of the transfer that are made of light alloy, tap lightly with a plastic hammer. Do not
use a flathead screwdriver.
Warning
The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism. However, if the transfer is tilted, the
self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. This could cause the transfer to rotate
accidentally, resulting in injury. Therefore, make sure that the transfer is not tilted when it is on the
engine stand. When turning the transfer, grasp the rotation handle firmly.

TRANSFER ASSEMBLY [GF4AX-EL]
ezf051727500105
Before Service Precautions

Assemble with bare hand or using vinyl gloves. To prevent the foreign material from entering the transfer, do not
use cotton work gloves or rag.
Apply sufficient gear oil to the sliding surfaces and O-rings, and be careful not to damage when assembling.
Replace the transfer with a new one if the case alignment surface is damaged. Be careful not to damage it
since it may cause oil leakage.
When installing silicone sealant, clean off the old sealant adhering to the sealing area and clean the sealing
area with the cleaning fluids.
After installing a seal, leave the parts alone for 2 h or more. Do not add oil or operate the vehicle during this
time.
Warning
The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism. However, if the transfer is tilted, the
self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. This could cause the transfer to rotate
accidentally, resulting in injury. Therefore, make sure that the transfer is not tilted when it is on the
engine stand. When turning the transfer, grasp the rotation handle firmly.

Assembly Procedure
2. Install the transfer to the SST.

buj0517a360
3. Using a press, assemble the locknut side bearing

inner race (side) to the ring gear shaft.
4. Using a press assemble the ring gear to the ring
gear shaft.
buj0517a361
5. Using a press, assemble the ring gear side

bearing inner race (side).
buj0517a362
6. Using the SSTs, assemble the bearing outer

race.
buj0517a363
05-17B83

7. Using the SSTs, adjust the drive pinion height as
follows:
(1) Install the SSTs to the removed spacer and
bearing.
(2) Assemble the spacer, bearing and SSTs.
Using an O-ring, secure the SST.
(3) Assemble the bearing, SSTs, companion
flange, washer, and nut.
(4) Tighten the nut to the companion flange to
where it can still be rotated by hand.
buj0517a364
(5) Place the SSTs on the plate surface and set

the dial gauge to 0.
buj0517a365
(6) Position the SST (49 0727 570) on the driver

pinion model.
(7) Attach the dial gauge head to where the
carrier bearing outer race (side) is installed
and measure lowest position. Also, measure
the value of where the side bearing outer race
(side) is installed on the opposite side.
buj0517a366
(8) Add the values for the both sides measured in

Step 7 and divide by 2. From this value,
subtract the value listed on the drive pinion
end (if not written, it is 0) divided by 100, and
then add 1.47. This is the pinion height
adjustment value.
buj0517a367
05-17B84

Note
If the value measured in Step 7 and 8 is -1.47 mm {-0.0579 in} and 1.45 mm {0.0571 in}, and the drive
pinion end value is 2, the formula would be (-1.47)+ (-1.45)/2-2/100+1.47=-0.01. Therefore, a spacer 0.01
mm {0.0004 in} thinner than the old one would be used. Since spacer thickness varies by 0.015 mm
{0.0020 in}, select the spacer nearest the required size and assemble.
