Dodge Intrepid - Transfer System Inspection

TRANSFER SYSTEM
INSPECTION
The need to replace the transfer chains because of
excessive wear is unlikely. If chain length is sus-
pected to be long, perform the following procedure to
measure the chain length:
(1) Insert a screwdriver into the 18 mm hole with
the screwdriver ABOVE the chains (Fig. 394).
(2) Pry the chains down at the center of the
chains.
(3) Butt a scale against the snubber and mark the
scale at the bottom of the chains (Fig. 395).
(4) Insert a screwdriver into the 18 mm hole with
the screwdriver BELOW the chains (Fig. 396). An
assistant may be needed to perform this step.
(5) Pry the chains up at the center of the chain.
(6) Butt a scale against the snubber and place a
second mark on the scale at the bottom of the chains
(Fig. 397).
(7) Measure the distance between the two marks
placed on the scale (Fig. 398). If the two marks on
the scale are more than one inch apart, replace the
drive chains.
