GENERAL INFORMATION
All gear cases are tagged beneath a cover bolt. This tag is
marked with a production date code, sequence code, and
a ratio code. All gear cases are 4.0:1 ratio.
The die-cast aluminum housings have been assembled
with thread-rolling screws (trilobular). When assembling
with these screws, start the screws carefully into the
housing; then use the following torque values.
Size New Housing

Front Drive Actuator

NOTE: The actuator is not a serviceable compo-
nent. If it is defective, it must be replaced.
NOTE: The actuator will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The front drive actuator is located on the right side of the
front drive input housing. With the engine stopped and
the ignition switch in the ON position, a momentary
"whirring" sound can be heard each time the drive select
switch is shifted. If no sound is heard, see the Electrical
System section. If the actuator runs constantly or makes
squealing or grinding sounds, the actuator must be
replaced.
