51. Front Differential Carrier Installation




Front Differential Carrier Installation




1. Install new fluid passage gaskets.




2. Install the front differential gear assembly (1) to the transmission case.




3. Install the thrust bearing (2) to the output gear assembly (3).




4. Coat the thrust needle roller bearing (2) with ATF WS.
5. Calculate the end play value using, end play value = Dimension F - Dimension E - Thrust bearing thickness 2.5 mm (0.0984 in) - output carrier thrust bearing race thickness. Use values of Dimensions E and F that were measured when installing the cylindrical roller bearing and underdrive planetary gear.

End Play - 0.198-0.693 mm (0.0077-0.0272 in)

6. Select an appropriate output carrier assembly bearing race which satisfies the specified value, then install it.

* Formula value less than 7.339 mm (0.2889 in) - 3.5 mm (0.138 in)
* Formula value 7.339 mm (0.2889 in) or more - 3.8 mm (0.150 in)
* Inside bearing diameter - 53.0 mm (2.087 in)
* Outside bearing diameter - 78.2 mm (3.079 in)
* Inside bearing race diameter - 52.1 mm (2.051 in)
* Outside bearing race diameter - 75.5 mm (2.972 in)
