Transfer Assembly: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lexus IS 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
- Using a feeler gauge, measure the center differential carrier pinion gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.2 to 0.5 mm (0.008 to 0.020 in.)
If the clearance is greater than the standard clearance, replace the center differential carrier.
- INSPECT CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH DISC SET
- Check whether the sliding surfaces of the disc and flange are worn or burnt.
If necessary, replace them.
- INSPECT TRANSFER DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN SPRING ASSEMBLY
- Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the spring together with the spring seat.
Standard free length:
15.2 to 15.8 mm (0.5984 to 0.6220 in.)
If the free length is shorter than the standard free length, replace the transfer direct clutch return spring.
- INSPECT TRANSFER DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM
- Using a cylinder gauge, measure the inside diameter of the transfer direct clutch drum.
Standard inside diameter:
65.00 to 65.06 mm (2.559 to 2.564 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the standard inside diameter, replace the transfer direct clutch drum.
- INSPECT TRANSFER CENTER SUPPORT
- Using a cylinder gauge, measure the inside diameter of the transfer center support.
Standard inside diameter:
49.9 to 50.1 mm (1.965 to 1.972 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the standard inside diameter, replace the transfer center support.
