Differential

A/T Differential

A/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) using a dial indicator (C).

Standard: 0.05-0.15 mm (0.002-0.006 in.)

3. If the backlash is out of standard, replace the differential carrier.

Differential Carrier and 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 a new final driven gear on the differential carrier in the direction shown. Tighten the bolts to 101 N-m (10.3 kgf-m, 74.5 lbf-ft) 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) using the commercially available bearing puller (C).





2. Install a new bearing using the 40 mm I.D. driver and a press. Press the bearing on until it bottoms.





Oil Seal Replacement

Special Tools Required
^ Drive 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 a new oil seal flush with the transmission housing using the driver and the oil seal driver attachment.





4. Install a new oil seal in the torque converter housing using the driver and the oil seal driver attachment.





Carrier Bearing Side Clearance Inspection

Special Tools Required
^ Driver, 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100
^ 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 the torque converter housing.





2. Install the differential assembly (C) in the torque converter housing, and put the spacer (D) on the differential.
3. Install the differential assembly securely using the 40 mm I.D. driver and the 30 mm I.D. attachment in the torque converter housing, so there is no clearance between the bearing, the spacer, and the torque converter housing.





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).





6. Install the gasket (E) and the 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 N-m (4.5 kgf-m, 33 lbf-ft) in a crisscross pattern in two or more steps.
8. Measure the clearance between the 90 mm thrust shim and the spacer using 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.
