available leakage tester to this hole.
3. Apply specified pressure to gear case, and check if the
pressure is maintained without further compression for 10
seconds.
Do not apply pressure to gear case over
specified value.
Doing so can cause damage to oil seal.
4. If the specified pressure cannot be maintained, check oil
seals of drive shaft and propeller shaft and O ring of shift
shaft, and propeller shaft housing and water pump case
lower for damages.
When fully filled with oil, attach upper oil plug first.
Specified Gear Case Maintained Pressure :
0.069 MPa (10 psi) [0.7 kgf/cm
· Rotating propeller shaft while maintaining
pressure and testing with gear oil drained make
it easy to find leakage due to wear of oil seal lip.
· Depressurize gear case and cover oil plug area
with a piece of rag before disconnecting leakage
tester.
