Final gear
1. Heat final gear to about 100°C (212°F) in oil bath.
2. Clean mating surfaces of final gear and differential case.
3. Install final gear (1) to differential case (2).
4. Install new 4 final gear set bolt lock plates and 8 bolts and tighten bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Final gear bolts (a): 97 Nm (9.7 kgf-m, 70.0 ft. lbs.)
5. Clamp bolts with lock plate securely.
6. Install differential assembly to transaxle case and tighten case bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Transaxle housing bolts: 30 Nm (3.0 kgf-m, 22.0 ft. lbs.)
7. Measure differential assembly starting torque by using special tool.
Special tool
(A): 09928-06050
Starting torque of differential assembly 0.8 - 1.4 Nm (0.08 - 0.14 kgf-m, 0.58 - 1.01 ft. lbs.)
NOTE:
^ If starting torque exceeds specified value, reselect shim on both transaxle case and housing.
^ Starting torque changes about 0.3 - 0.4 Nm (0.03 - 0.04 kgf-m, 0.22 - 0.29 ft. lbs.) with each shim thickness.
