ADJUSTMENTS DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD NOTE: Perform all differential bearing preload mea- with the transfer shaft and gear removed. DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT USING (1) Position the transaxle assembly vertically on the support stand, differential bearing retainer side (2) Install Tool L-4436A into the differential and onto the pinion mate shaft (Fig. 204). (3) Rotate the differential at least one full revolu- tion to ensure the tapered roller bearings are fully (4) Using Tool L-4436A and an inch-pound torque wrench, check the turning torque of the differential 205). The turning torque should be between 5 and 18 inch-pounds. (5) If the turning torque is within specifications, remove tools. Setup is complete. (6) If turning torque is not within specifications proceed with the following steps. (a) Remove differential bearing retainer from the transaxle case. (b) Remove the bearing cup from the differential bearing retainer using Tool 6062A. (c) Remove the existing shim from under the cup. (d) Measure the existing shim. sured, install a 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) thinner shim. (f) Install the proper shim under the bearing cup. Make sure the oil baffle is installed properly (g) Install the differential bearing retainer using Tool 5052 and C-4171. Seal the retainer to the t Adhesive Sealant and torque bolts to 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.). wrench, recheck the turning torque of the differential 205). The turning torque should be between 5 and 18 inch-pounds. Shim thickness need be determined only if any of the following parts are replaced: • Transaxle case • Differential carrier • Differential bearing retainer • Extension housing • Differential bearing cups and cones Fig. 204 Tool L-4436 and Torque Wrench 1 - SPECIAL TOOL L-4436–A Fig. 205 Checking Differential Bearings Turning Torque 1 - SPECIAL TOOL L-4436–A 21 - 398 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PT FINAL DRIVE (Continued) |
