Overhaul (Differential)
A/T DifferentialA/T Differential Component Location Index:
Backlash Inspection
1. Install both axles into the differential, and place the axles on V-blocks (A).
2. Measure the backlash of the pinion gears (B) with a dial indicator (C).
Standard: 0.05 - 0.15 mm (0.002 - 0.006 inch)
3. If the backlash is out of standard, replace the differential carrier.
Differential Carrier, Final Driven Gear Replacement
1. Remove the final driven gear (A) from the differential carrier (B). The final driven gear bolts have left-hand threads.
2. Install the final driven gear on the differential carrier in the direction shown. Tighten the bolts to 101 Nm (10.3 kgf-m, 74.5 ft. lbs.) in a crisscross pattern in two or more steps.
Carrier Bearing Replacement
Special Tools Required
^ Driver 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100
NOTE: Check the bearing for wear and rough rotation. If the bearing is OK, removal is not necessary.
1. Place a collar (A) on the differential carrier, and remove the carrier bearing (B) with the commercially available bearing puller (C).
2. Install the new bearing with the special tool and a press. Press the bearing on until it bottoms.
Oil Seal Replacement
Special Tools Required
^ Driver 07749-0010000
^ Oil seal driver attachment 07JAD-PH80101
1. Remove the oil seal from the transmission housing.
2. Remove the oil seal from the torque converter housing.
3. Install the new oil seal flush with the transmission housing with the special tools.
4. Install the new oil seal in the torque converter housing with the special tools.
Carrier Bearing Side Clearance Inspection
Special Tools Required
^ Driver 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100
^ Driver attachment 30 mm I.D. 07746-0030300
1. Install the spacer (A) in the torque converter housing with the spacer tab (B) into the guide. Do not install the spacers mix-up in the transmission housing and torque converter housing.
2. Install the differential assembly (C) in the torque converter housing, and put the spacer (D) on the differential.
3. Drive the differential assembly securely in the torque converter housing so there is no clearance between the bearing, spacer, and housing with the special tool.
4. Install the 90 mm thrust shim (A) in the transmission housing (B). If you replace the 90 mm thrust shim with a new one, use the same thickness as the old one.
5. Align the spring pin (A) on the selector control shaft (B) with the transmission housing groove (C) by turning the control shaft with the detent plate (D).
NOTE: Do not squeeze the end of the selector control shaft tips together when turning the control shaft.
6. Install the gasket (E) and three dowel pins (F) on the torque converter housing (G).
7. Place the transmission housing (H), and install the mounting bolts (19 bolts). Tighten the bolts to 44 Nm (4.5 kgf-m, 33 ft. lbs.) in a crisscross pattern in two or more steps.
8. Measure the clearance between the 90 mm thrust shim and the spacer with a feeler gauge.
9. If the clearance is out of standard, remove the 90 mm thrust shim, and measure its thickness.
10. Select and install a new thrust shim. Recheck the clearance and make sure it is within the standard.
