Disassembly and Assembly of Differential

COMPONENTS








PREPARATION FOR DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE NEUTRAL START SWITCH
2. REMOVE SPEEDOMETER DRIVEN GEAR
3. REMOVE SPEED SENSOR
4. REMOVE OIL PAN
5. REMOVE VALVE BODY
6. REMOVE OVERDRIVE UNIT




a. Remove the eleven bolts and tap the overdrive case with a plastic hammer to remove it.




b. If the intermediate shaft did not come out with the overdrive case, remove it from the transmission case.




7. REMOVE OVERDRIVE CLUTCH APPLY GASKET AND OVERDRIVE BRAKE GASKET
8. REMOVE PARKING LOCK PAWL BRACKET AND ROD
9. REMOVE PARKING LOCK PAWL
10. REMOVE MANUAL SHAFT AND LEVER

DISASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENTIAL




1. REMOVE CARRIER COVER
2. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the total preload, and note the measurement value.




3. MEASURE BACKLASH OF SIDE GEAR
Measure each side gear backlash while holding one pinion toward the case.

Standard backlash: 0.05- 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)




4. REMOVE LH BEARING RETAINER
a. Remove the six bolts.
b. Tap the retainer with a plastic hammer to remove it.
c. Remove the O-ring from the retainer.

5. REMOVE RH SIDE BEARING CAP
Remove the two bolts and the side bearing cap.




6. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CASE, OUTER RACE AND ADJUSTING SHIM
Remove the differential case, the outer race and the adjusting shim from the case.




7. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque meter, measure the drive pinion preload.

Preload (at starting):
Reused bearing 5 - 8 kg.cm (4.3 - 6.9 in.-lb, 0.5 - 0.8 N.m)

The total preload measured in step 2 minus the drive pinion preload equals 1.5 - 2.0 kg.cm (1.3 - 1.7 in.lb, 0.1 - 0.2 N.m).

If the result is not within this specification, the side bearing preload is bad.
