Adjustment
ADJUSTMENTFriction Disc and Friction Plate End Play
End play of friction disc and friction plate can be calculated by using following equation and should be adjusted within following range. Adjustment can be made by selecting friction disc having two different thicknesses.
End play E: 0.05 - 0.15 mm (0.0020 - 0.0059 inch)
E = A - (B + C)
A: Length of differential case contact surface to differential case inner bottom.
B: Total thickness of friction discs, friction plates, spring disc and spring plate in differential case on one side.
C: Length of differential case contact surface to back side of side gear.
1. Measure values of "A".
Standard length A: 49.50 - 49.55 mm (1.9488 - 1.9508 inch)
2. Measure thickness of each disc and plate.
Total thickness "B": 19.24 - 20.26 mm (0.7575 - 0.7976 inch)
3. Measure values of "C".
a. Attach a dial indicator to the base plate.
b. Place differential case B on the base plate, and install a master gauge on case B. Then adjust the dial indicator scale to zero with its tip on the master gauge.
c. Install pinion mate gears, side gears and pinion mate shaft in differential case B.
d. Set dial indicator's tip on the side gear, and read the indication.
Example:
E = A - D = A - (B + C) = 0.05 to 0.15 mm
A = 49.52 mm
B = 19.45 mm
C = 29.7 mm
D = B + C
49.15 (D) = 19.45 (B) + 29.7 (C)
E = A - D
0.37 (E) = 49.52 (A) - 49.15 (D)
From the above equation, end play of 0.37 mm exceeds the specified range of 0.05 to 0.15 mm.
Select suitable discs and plates to adjust correctly.
