This transmission consists of one forward gear and one

Three-element, single-stage,
reverse gear. The forward-reverse changeover is Type
two-phase
accomplished by a powershift mechanism that uses

hydraulically controlled multiple-disc clutches. The
same transmission parts, except for the torque F (Forward) a→cd→e
converter, clutch valve, output flange, and universal R (Reverse) b→e
joints, are used in all the 1 to 3.5 ton class trucks. The

Removal and Installation
Removal
(1) Remove the engine and transmission as an assembly
from the truck.
Note: Removal and installation procedures for the engine
and transmission are covered in the “GROUP 5
POWER TRAIN.” Drain oil out of the transmission
housing when removing the engine and
transmission.
(2) Remove the bolts securing the flexible plate through
the access hole in the torque converter housing.
(3) Separate the torque converter and transmission
assembly from the engine.
Installation
(1) Couple the torque converter and transmission assembly
to the engine. To do this, push the torque converter
toward the transmission as far as it goes so that the
distance between the end surface of the torque
converter housing and the flywheel connecting surface
of the flexible plate is 50 mm (1.97 in.).
(2) Connect the flexible plate to the flywheel with the bolts
through the access hole in the torque converter
housing.
Note: Tighten the bolts evenly and progressively. Avoid
giving strain to the flexible plate.

Suggestions for Reassembly

(1) Applying grease
(a) Apply grease to the lips of the oil seals in the
transmission housing.
(2) Installing oil pump assembly
(a) Place the torque converter housing with its wating
flange facing down.
(b) Install the relief valve and spring into the torque
converter housing.
(c) Apply grease to the O-ring and install it into the
torque converter housing. Then, install the oil
pump assembly.
(3) Installing transmission housing
(a) Reinstall the transmission housing while hoisting it
in the same procedure during disassembly. Pay
attention that the input shaft is not yet stable at the
center line.
(4) Installing torque converter
(a) Install the torque converter by aligning its splines
with the splines on the stator shaft and input shaft
of the transmission and the grooves in the oil pump

drive gear.
(1.97 in.)
(b) After the torque converter is installed, check the
distance between the end surface of the torque
converter housing and the flywheel fitting surface
of the flexible plate referring to the specification
below.

(c) Secure the torque converter temporarily by tying

part of the flexible plate to the torque converter
housing using suitable wires until the assembly is
fixed to the engine.

(5) Shim adjustment

(a) Thrust the clutch pack, the input shaft and the
support bearing toward the torque converter and
measure the concave dimension between the
contact surface of the servo case and the outer edge
of bearing 1.
(b) Calculate the shim 2 thickness required as follows:
Concave dimension 1 - 4.8 mm (0.18912 in.)
= shim thickness.
Example; (5.1 mm - 4.8 mm = 0.3 mm)
[0.20094 in. - 0.18912 in. = 0.01182 in.]
(c) Insert the calculate shims 2 between the bearing
supporting clutch pack and servo case and
assemble servo case. (This clearance axially is 0.3
to 0.4 mm [0.01182 to 0.01576 in.])

(6) Refilling transmission with oil

(a) Refill the transmission with oil only after the
transmission is installed in the truck and the engine
is ready to be started.
(b) Check the oil level using the level gauge.
(c) Start and run the engine at an idling speed for
about 3 minute and then stop the engine.
(d) Wait for about 30 second after stopping the engine,
and then start the checking procedure.

Inspection and Adjustment
Oil Pressure Measurement

(1) Transmission oil level check
(a) Check the transmission fluid level with the level
gauge.
(b) Start and run the engine at an idling speed for
about 3 minutes, and then stop the engine.
(c) Wait for about 30 second after stopping the engine,
and check the level.
(d) The checking procedure must be completed within
5 minutes after the engine has stopped.
(2) Engine warm-up
(a) Warm up the engine to raise the temperature of the
transmission oil.
(3) Engine speed measurement
(a) After the engine is warmed up, measure the idling
speed and maximum no-load speed according to
the engine service manual. Make the necessary
adjustments if either or both of the speeds do not
meet the specifications.
(4) Preparation for oil pressure measurement
(a) Stop the engine after checking and adjusting the
engine speeds.
(b) Raise the front wheels completely clear of the
ground either by jacking up the front axle housing b
or placing a wood block under the outer mast and
tilting the mast forward.
(c) Block the rear wheels.
Note: The front wheels turn during the clutch pressure

The clutch (inching) mechanism is linked to the brake

pedal. Depressing the brake pedal cuts the pressure acting
on the transmission before the brakes take effect, bringing
the transmission to a neutral condition.
A faulty inching mechanism may create such problems as
failure in clutch disengagement and partial clutch
engagement. This in turn may cause an abnormal increase
in the transmission temperature, as well as braking
malfunctions and clutch plate seizures. Be sure to make all
the following adjustments carefully so that these problems
may be avoided.
(1) Adjusting brake pedal
(a) Adjust the brake pedal height A (from the floor
plate top surface to the brake pedal top surface) to
the following standard value by turning the stopper
bolt 1 and then lock it with the lock nut.
Brake pedal height A 191 mm (7.52 in.)
(b) Remove the clearance between the push rod pin of

the brake master cylinder 2 and the piston (zero
clearance).

(c) Turn the push rod of the brake master cylinder

until the clearance b in the detail B adjusted to the
range indicated below.

(2) Adjusting inching pedal

(a) Adjust the height A of the inching pedal (from the
floor plate top surface to the inching pedal top
surface) to the following standard value with the
stopper bolt 3.
Inching pedal height A 191 mm (7.52 in.)
(b) Adjust the clearance c between the bolt and linkage in

the portion C to the following value and lock it firmly
with the nut.

Inching Valve Adjustment

Start by:
(a) Blocking the rear wheels, then raising the front wheels 4
following the procedure described in the preceding oil
pressure measurement section;
(b) Connecting an oil pressure gauge to the oil pressure tap
(position D in the illustration);
(c) Confirm that the inching rod 1 projects completely.
A
The projection A of the inching rod (initial condition) 2
is 48±0.5 mm (1.77±0.02 in.)
(d) Connect the inching cable 2 to the inching lever pin 3.
(e) Adjust the play of the inching cable to 0.5 to 1.5 mm
(0.02 to 0.060 in.) and secure the cable by inching
cable locking nut (outer) 4. Be sure to observe the
lower limit (0.5 mm [0.02 in.]) to prevent 3 1
