(8) Verify that a preload condition does not exist. Use Special Tool L-4508 and an inch-pound torque CAUTION: Step (1) MUST be repeated every time a (9) Recheck input shaft turning torque. Repeat step (8) until the proper bearing turning torque is obtained. DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT (1) Remove bearing cup and existing shim from differential bearing retainer. (See Differential Bearing (2) Select a gauging shim which will give 0.025 to 0.254mm (.001 to .010 inch) end play. SUGGESTION: (3) Oil differential bearings with SAE 5W-30 engine oil and install differential assembly in transaxle case. t Gasket Maker, Loctite 518, or equivalent to extension flange. (4) Position transaxle with bell housing facing down on workbench with C-clamps. Position dial indicator. (5) Apply a medium load to differential with Tool C-4995 and a T-Handle, in the downward direction. Roll differential assembly back and forth a number of (6) The shim required for proper bearing preload is total of gauging shim thickness, plus end play, Fig. 2 Checking Input Shaft Bearing Turning Torque INPUT SHAFT SHIM CHART Fig. 3 Checking Differential Bearing End Play to De- termine Shim Thickness Ä TRANSAXLE 21 - 33 |
