Overhaul (Differential)

Component Location Index

Backlash Inspection





1. Install both axles in the differential, and place the differential assembly on V-blocks (A).
2. Check the backlash of the pinion gears (B) with a dial indicator (C).
STANDARD: 0.08 - 0.15 mm (0.003 - 0.006 inch)
3. If the backlash is out of standard, replace the differential carrier.

Differential Carrier/Final Driven Gear Replacement





1. Remove the final driven gear from the differential carrier. The final driven gear bolts have left-hand threads.
2. Install the final driven gear with the chamfered side on the inner bore (A) facing the differential carrier.
3. Tighten the bolts to 98 Nm (10.0 kgf-cm, 72 ft. lbs.) in a crisscross pattern.

Carrier Bearing Replacement

Special Tools Required
Driver 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100





1. Remove the bearings (A) with a commercially available bearing puller (B), and adapter (C).





2. Install the new bearings with the special tool and a press. Press the bearing on until it bottoms.

Oil Seal Replacement

Special Tools Required
^ Driver 07749-0010000
^ Driver attachment, 78 x 80 mm 07NAD-PX40100
^ Driver attachment, 58 mm 07JAD-PH80101





1. Remove the oil seal (A) from the transmission housing (B).





2. Remove the oil seal (A) from the flywheel housing (B).





3. Install the oil seal in the transmission housing with the special tools.





4. Install the oil seal (A) in the torque converter housing with the special tools.

Carrier Bearing Side Clearance Inspection

Special Tools Required
Driver 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100





1. Install the 80 mm set ring (A) in the transmission housing (B).





2. Install the differential assembly (A) in the transmission housing (B) using the special tool.





3. Install the three dowel pins (A) and the gasket (B) on the transmission housing (C).
4. Place the flywheel housing (D) on the transmission housing.
5. Install the housing bolts (20 bolts), and tighten the bolts in two or more steps to 29 Nm (3.0 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.) in a crisscross pattern.





6. Measure the clearance between the 80 mm set ring and carrier bearing outer race with a feeler gauge.
7. If the clearance is out of standard, remove the 80 mm set ring, and measure its thickness.
8. Select and install a new set ring, then recheck the clearance and make sure it is within the standard.
