   1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position the dial indicator tip (C) on the direct extension of the bolt hole center (D). 2. Measure the transfer gear backlash. 3. If the transfer gear backlash is out of the standard, replace the transfer assembly - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(6-Speed A/T) .

   Standard:

   0.06-0.16 mm (0.0024-0.0063 in)

6. All Removed Parts - Install

   1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

   Total Starting Torque Measurement 

7. Transfer Assembly Fluid - Drain - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Fluid Replacement(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Fluid Replacement(6-Speed A/T, KA, KC models)
8. Transfer Assembly - Remove - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(6-Speed A/T)
9. Transfer Assembly - Total Starting Torque Check

   1. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with wood blocks. NOTE: To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use wood blocks or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the bench vise. 2. Rotate the companion flange several turns to seat the tapered roller bearings. 3. Measure the total starting torque at the companion flange (C) using a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E). 4. If the total starting torque is out of the standard, replace the transfer assembly - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Removal and Installation(6-Speed A/T) .

   Standard:

   2.64-4.23 Nm (26.9-43.1 Kgf-cm, 23.4-37.4 lbf.in)

10. All Removed Parts - Install

    1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

    Fluid Leak Check 

11. Transfer Assembly Fluid (Transmission Side) - Leak Check

    1. Check for fluid leaks between the mating faces of the transfer assembly and the transmission. 2. If there is leak, replace the transfer cover oil seal and the O-ring - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly(6-Speed A/T) .

12. Transfer Assembly Fluid (Propeller Shaft Side) - Leak Check

    1. Check for fluid leaks between the transfer companion flange and the transfer oil seal. 2. If there is leak, replace the transfer oil seal and the O-ring - Refer to: Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly(9-Speed A/T), or Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly(6-Speed A/T) NOTE: Do not replace the oil seal with the transfer assembly on the transmission.
