MAINSHAFT AND GEAR

1.

Measure the clearance “A” at 2 points or more diagonally oppo-
site using a dial indicator. And then calculate mean value.

2.

Measure the clearance “B” at 2 points or more diagonally oppo-
site using a feeler gauge. And then calculate mean value.

Baulk Ring Clearance for Triple Cone Synchronizer

Check the clearance between outer baulk ring, synchronizer cone,
and inner baulk ring as follows.

CAUTION:

The clearances “A”, “B”, and “C” are controlled with outer
baulk ring, synchronizer cone, and inner baulk ring as a set.
Replace them as a set if the clearances are outside the limit
value.

FINAL DRIVE

Check the clearance between side gear and differential case as fol-
lows.
1.

Clean final drive assembly sufficiently to prevent side gear thrust
washer, differential case, side gear, and other parts from sticking
by gear oil.

2.

Put differential case vertically so that side gear to be measured faces upward.

3.

Place the drift and a dial indicator onto side gear. Move side
gear up and down, and measure the clearance.

CAUTION:

There should be no resistance and gears should rotate
freely.

4.

If not within specification, adjust the clearance by changing side
gear thrust washer thickness.

5.

Turn differential case upside down and measure the clearance between side gear and differential case on
the other side in the same way.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Gear, Washer, Shaft, and Case

• Check side gears, side gear thrust washers, pinion mate shaft, pin-

ion mate gears, pinion mate thrust washers and differential case. If
necessary, replace with a new one.

Gear

• Check output gear and reduction gear. If necessary, replace with a new one.

Bearing

Check for bearings damage and rough rotation. If necessary, replace
with a new one.

CAUTION:

When replacing tapered roller bearing, replace outer and inner
races as a set.
