Differential Case

C59 MANUAL TRANSAXLE: DIFFERENTIAL CASE:

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR BACKLASH





(a) Fixing the front differential pinion from the front differential case side. Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of the front differential side gear.
Standard backlash:
0.05 to 0.20 mm (0.0020 to 0.0079 in.)
If backlash is out of specification, install proper side gear thrust washers.
2. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION THRUST WASHER





(a) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the front differential pinion thrust washer.
Minimum thickness:
0.92 mm (0.0362 in.)
If the clearance is below the minimum, replace the front differential pinion thrust washer.
3. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL PINION SHAFT NO. 1





(a) Using a micrometer, measure the the outer diameter of the front differential pinion shaft No. 1.
Minimum outer diameter:
16.982 mm (0.6686 in.)
If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the front differential pinion shaft No. 1.
