Overhaul
NOTE: To remove and install this component, see automatic transaxle overhaul procedure. Procedures
DISASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLY
1. Carry out the preinspection, before disassembly, referring to the following:
Backlash
a. Measure the backlash of the side gear. Back lash standard is 0.025 - 0.1 mm (0.001 - 0.004 inch) and a maximum of 0.5 mm (0.020 inch).
b. If not specified, replace differential.
2. Disassemble in the order indicated in the illustration, referring to disassembly note.
3. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly indicated in the illustration, referring to assembly procedure.
Disassembly Note
Roll Pin (3)
1. Place the gear case in a vise.
2. Insert a 2.0 mm (0.07 inch) punch into the roll pin hole from the ring gear side, and remove the roll pin.
Bearings (7)
1. Remove the bearing (speedometer drive gear side) from the gear case by using the Special Service Tool (SST).
2. Remove the bearing (ring gear side) from the gear case by using the SST.
Assembly Procedure
1. Set the speedometer drive gear onto the ring gear and gear case.
2. Install a new bearing.
a. Press the new bearing (speedometer drive gear side) onto the gear case by using the SST.
b. Press on the other new bearing (ring gear side) in the same manner.
3. Apply ATF to the thrust washers and pinion shaft.
4. Install the pinion gear and thrust washers into the gear case.
5. Install the pinion shaft.
6. Install the roll pin, and crimp it to prevent it from coming out of the gear case.
7. Apply ATF to the thrust washers.
8. Install the thrust washers and side gears into the gear case, then turn the side gears and align them with the drive shaft holes.
9. Measure the backlash of the side gears as follows:
a. Install the left and right drive shafts in the differential.
b. Support the drive shafts on V-blocks.
c. Measure the backlash of both side gears. Backlash standard is 0.025 - 0.1 mm (0.001 - 0.004 inch) and a maximum of 0.5 mm (0.020 inch).
10. If the backlash is not within the specification, replace the differential.
