Known issues on the 1998 SLX. One recall is on federal record for this model year: the power train transfer case (4-wheel drive), where transfer gearbox flange nuts that were not properly installed can loosen and let the propeller shaft separate, rendering the vehicle inoperative. Owners have filed 6 complaints and 9 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system.
From a routine service interval to a transfer case teardown or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1998 SLX.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE TRANSFER GEARBOX FLANGE NUTS WERE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, CAUSING THE NUTS TO LOOSEN.
Consequence
IF THE FLANGE NUTS LOOSEN, THE PROPELLER SHAFT CAN SEPARATE, RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPEATIVE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FRONT AND REAR FLANGE NUTS AND, IF FOUND LOOSE, TIGHTEN TO SPECIFIED TORQUE AND SECURED STAKED AT TWO PLACES.
