The output transfer gears are used to connect the transmission to the differential. The output shaft of the transmission is connected to gear (2) of the output transfer gears. Yoke assembly (15) is connected to the lower drive shaft. The lower drive shaft is connected to the differential.
Gear (2) meshes with gear (6). Gear (6) meshes with gear (12). Gear (12) and yoke assembly (15) are splined to shaft (10) .
Power flows from the transmission output shaft to drive gear (2). Power then flows from drive gear (2) to idler gear (6). Power flows from idler gear (6) to driven gear (12) to shaft (10). At shaft (10), power flows from the yoke assembly (15) through the lower drive shaft to the differential.
Shims (3) are used to make an adjustment to the end play (bearing preload) of gear (2). Shims (11) are used to make an adjustment to the end play (bearing preload) of gear (6). For the proper adjustment procedures, refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Transfer Gear (Ouput) - Adjust".
Output Transfer Gear Lubrication
The output transfer gears get lubrication from oil that is thrown inside the transfer case. Since the transfer gear case is also the reservoir for the transmission circuit, all return oil flows to the bottom of the case. The movement of the gears in the oil causes oil to be thrown on all the components.
