Usage:

Remove Output Transfer Drive

Tools Required:

NOTE: The following photographs show the removal/installation procedure for a typical output transfer drive assembly. The procedure is similar for 'C' trucks and the D400 - where there are differences, these are noted and specific instructions are given.

1. Stop the truck in the straight ahead position and apply the parking brake. Move the gear lever to the Neutral position and stop the engine. Remove the key and place suitable warning notices to prevent personnel starting the engine and operating the controls. Use the hand lever on the suspension control valve to fully lower the front suspension.

2. With the oil warm, remove the drain plug (1) and allow the oil to drain into a suitable container (C Truck - 35 litres) (D400 - 105 litres).

3. Remove the transmission compartment grille (2).

4. Release the retaining clips (3) from the access door struts (4).

8. D400: Disconnect the torque converter lock up oil line (8) from the transfer gearbox.

9. D400: Disconnect the transmission control cables (9) from the rear of the transmission control group housing.

10. Trucks fitted with supplementary steering: Remove the supplementary steer hoses (10 and 11) from the diverter valve (12) to the pipes (13) and (14). Plug the ports on the diverter valve and cap the hoses to prevent contamination.

11. Trucks fitted with supplementary steering: Remove both pipe assemblies (13) and (14) from the supplementary steer pump.

12. Trucks fitted supplementary steering: Remove the supplementary steer pump (15).

13. Remove the bolts that secure the transmission drive shaft (16). Remove the drive shaft. D400 (early trucks) - Disconnect the wires (17) from the magnetic pick-up. Mark the wires to ensure correct reconnection.

14. Remove the bolts that secure the spider (18). Remove the spider.

15. Remove the cotter pin (19) and the clevis pin (20) from the differential lock actuator.

16. Remove the bolts securing the output transfer drive rear output yoke to the centre drive shaft (21). Slide the centre drive shaft backward.

17. D400 - Remove the bolts securing the torque converter valve group (22) to the transmission mounting bracket. Disconnect the valve group oil supply line (24). Move the valve group to allow clearance when the transmission and output transfer drive assembly is hoisted out of the compartment. Remove the oil filler tube assembly (25). Disconnect the remaining oil lines (26) and (27) from the front of the transmission. Disconnect the oil cooler return line (23).

18. C Trucks - Disconnect the oil lines (28-34) from the front of the transmission. Mark the oil lines to ensure correct reconnection. Plug the ports and cap the hoses to reduce oil spillage and prevent contamination.

NOTE: On current trucks it is not necessary to remove the left and right hand mounting brackets.

22. Remove the bolts securing the upper transmission mounting assembly (39). Remove the mounting assembly. Remove the torque converter selector valve (40) to provide more clearance.

NOTE: Place a wooden plank or similar form of protection at the rear of the transmission compartment. This will prevent damage to any components when the upper transmission mounting assembly is removed and the transmission/output transfer drive assembly pivots backwards.

23. Place a suitable hoisting sling around the assembly as shown and connect the sling to a hoist.

24. Early trucks: If necessary, disconnect the steering line pipe connections (41), also ...

------ WARNING! ------

It is important that the complete assembly is securely supported by the hoist and sling during the following procedure. This will prevent the assembly from moving downward when finally released from the truck frame, thus avoiding the possibility of injury or damage.

--------WARNING!------

3. Position the left and right hand mounting brackets (1) against the output transfer drive. Install the lower bolts and washers (2) initially and fully tighten to a torque setting of 360±47 Nm (265±35 lb.ft.).

NOTE: On current trucks the transmission and output transfer drive assembly can be installed with the left and right hand mounting brackets in position.

4. Position the assembly so that the pivot pins (3) can be installed through the right and left hand mounting brackets (1). Install the pivot pins. Be sure the slot in each pin is facing towards the front of the truck.

5. Install the bolts (4) and washers and tighten to a torque setting of 360±47 Nm (265±35 lb.ft.).

6. Install the locating ring (5). Use tool 6V3133 Spanner Wrench to tighten the locating ring until it just touches the face of the mounting bracket (1). Measure the gap (6) on each side of the truck and adjust the locating rings until both dimensions are equal to within 2mm.

7. Lock the locating ring (5) in position by using a punch to indent the ring lip into the slot in each pivot pin (3).

8. Check the alignment of the transmission to the front axle. The centre lines of the transfer drive output shaft and the front differential input shaft must be within 1.5mm (0.06 inch) measured sideways. Measure by placing a straight edge across the machined surfaces of the respective yokes.

Shims (7) are installed between the bearing cap (8) and the front suspension frame (9). If adjustment is necessary remove shims from under one bearing cap and install the same shims under the bearing cap on the other side. Before carrying out adjustment slacken clamp bolts (10). Tighten fully after adjustment.

16. C Truck - Connect the oil lines (16-22) to the transmission housing using new seals.

17. D400 - Install the torque converter valve group (23) to the transmission mounting bracket (24). Connect the valve group oil supply line (26). Install the oil filler tube assembly (28) using a new gasket. Install the remaining oil lines (25 and 27) to the front of the transmission and the oil cooler return line (29) using new seals.

18. Slide the centre drive shaft (30) forward and connect it to the output yoke. Tighten the bolts to a torque setting of 135±14 Nm (100±10 lb.ft.).

19. Position the differential lock actuator shaft on the differential selector shaft and install clevis pin (31). Insert a new cotter pin (32) making sure that sufficient washers are installed under the cotter pin to take up all free play on the clevis pin.

20. Install the spider (33) connecting the front drive axle to the output transfer drive.

21. Install the transmission drive shaft (34). C Trucks:

The transmission drive shaft should have between 4 and 10mm sliding allowance between the male and female parts. Measure the distance between the machined faces of the two spider and bearing assemblies with the shaft fully compressed. Install the drive shaft then adjust the top transmission mounting until the distance between the same two faces is 4-10mm greater than the fully compressed dimension.

D400:

A clearance of 5-6mm should exist between the rear face of the input yoke and the face of the cage of the transmission input transfer gear. The clearance is obtained by adjusting the top transmission mounting. The above clearance is for a truck on wheels. If supported on stands the clearance should be 3-4mm.

Note for all trucks:

The method of adjusting the top transmission mounting depends on the arrangement fitted. On early trucks adjustment is achieved by fitting washers under the head of the bolt which passes through the mounting. On later trucks adjust the number of shims between the mounting block and the truck frame.

22. C trucks - Install the selector cable (35) to the cam housing (36). Install the cover (37) with a new gasket if necessary. Refer to "Transmission Control Linkage Adjustment - C Trucks" if adjustment is required.
