Differential Assembly Starting Torque
1. Install differential assembly (1) to transaxle case and tighten case bolts to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Transaxle housing bolts: 30 Nm (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft. lbs.)

2. Measure differential assembly starting torque, using special tool. If starting torque exceeds specified value, replace shim in the following so as starting torque to be in standard value.

Starting torque of differential assembly 0.7 - 1.2 Nm (0.07 - 0.12 kgf-m, 0.506 - 0.868 ft. lbs.)

Special Tool (A): 09928-06020

Differential Gear Thrust Play
1. Hold differential assembly with soft jawed vice and set special tools as shown.

Special Tool
(A): 09900-20607
(B): 09900-20701





2. Measure differential gear thrust play. If thrust play exceeds specified value, replace differential assembly.

Differential gear thrust play
Standard: 0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0024 - 0.0087 inch)
