Differential and Drive Pinion (Part 2)

ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE




1. CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Measure the backlash of one side gear while holding one pinion toward the case.

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

If the backlash is out of specification, install the correct thrust washer to the side gears.

2. DISASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE




a. Drive Out the pinion shaft lock pin from the side on which the ring gear is installed.




b. Remove the pinion shaft from the case.
c. Remove the two pinions, two side gears and four thrust washers.

3. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE




a. Install the removed thrust washers to the side gears.




b. Install the side gears with thrust washers, pinion thrust washers and pinion gears.
c. Install the pinion shaft.




d. Check the side gear backlash.
Measure the side gear backlash while holding one pinion gear toward the case.

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




e. Refering to the table below, select thrust washers which will ensure that the backlash is within specification. Try to select washers of the same size of both sides.
f. If the backlash is not within specification, install a thrust washer of different thickness.




g. Install the lock pin.
1. Using a hammer and punch, drive the lock pin through the case and hole in the pinion shaft.
2. Stake the differential case.

ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD




1. REMOVE RING GEAR FROM DIFFERENTIAL Differential And Drive Pinion (Part 1)

2. REPLACE LH ADJUSTING SHIM




a. Remove the LH oil seal.




b. Using SST, press out the outer race and shim.

SST 09350-32013 (09351-32130, 09351-32150)




c. Place 2.40 mm (0.0945 in.) shim onto the transaxle case.
d. Using SST, press the outer race into the transaxle case.

SST 09350-32013 (09351-32111, 09351-32130)




3. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE
a. Install the differential case to the transaxle case.
b. Install the transaxle housing and tighten the bolts.

Torque: 300 kg.cm (22 ft.lb, 29 N.m)

NOTE: Each bolt length (mm) is indicated in the image.

4. ADJUST DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
a. Rotate the differential in both directions to snug the bearing down.




b. Using SST and a torque meter, measure the preload of the side bearing.

SST 09564-32011

Preload (at starting):
New bearing 8 - 14 kg.cm (6.9 - 12.2 in.lb, 0.8 - 1.4 N.m)
Reused bearing 4 - 7 kg.cm (3.5 - 6.1 in.lb, 0.4 - 0.7 N.m)




If the preload is not within specification, remove the differential from the transaxle case.

Reselect LH adjusting shim.

NOTE: The preload will change about 3 - 4 kg.cm (2.6 - 3.5 in.lb, 0.3 - 0.4 N.m) with each shim thickness.




5. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL
a. Remove the transaxle housing.
b. Remove the differential from the transaxle case.




6. INSTALL RING GEAR TO DIFFERENTIAL CASE Differential And Drive Pinion (Part 1)
