A/T Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Inspection
Special Tools Required

Driver handle 15 x 135L
 07749-0010000

Bearing driver attachment 72 x 75 mm

Diff preload inspection attachment

NOTE:
  • If the transmission housing, the torque converter housing, the differential carrier, the carrier bearing and the outer race, or the thrust shim were replaced, the bearing preload must be adjusted.
  • Coat all parts with ATF during installation.
  • Do not use the thrust shim on the torque converter housing.
  1. Remove the bearing outer race (A), the 76.2 mm thrust washer (B), and the 76 mm thrust shim (C) from the transmission housing (D) by heating the transmission housing to about 100 °C (212 °F) using a heat gun (E). Do not heat the transmission housing more than 100 °C (212 °F).
    NOTE: Let the transmission housing cool to room temperature before adjusting the bearing preload.
  1. Install the 76 mm thrust shim (A) in the transmission housing (B). If you replace the 76 mm thrust shim with a new one, use the same thickness shim as the old one.
  1. Install the 76.2 mm thrust washer (C) and the bearing outer race (D) in the transmission housing.
    NOTE: Be sure to install the 76.2 mm thrust washer with the ‘‘41382 RKY'' mark facing downward.
  1. Install the bearing outer race securely so there is no clearance between the bearing outer race, the 76.2 mm thrust washer, the 76 mm thrust shim, and the transmission housing, using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 72 x 75 mm bearing driver attachment.
  1. Install the differential assembly (A) in the torque converter housing (B), and install the gasket (C) and the dowel pins (D) on the torque converter housing.
  1. Install the transmission housing (E) and the transmission hanger (F), then tighten the bolts.
  1. Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the bearings.
  1. Measure the starting torque of the differential assembly in both directions using the diff preload inspection attachment, a torque wrench (A), and a socket (B) at normal room temperature.
    Standard:
    New Bearing:
    2.7−3.9 N·m (28−40 kgf·cm, 24−35 lbf·in.)
    Reused Bearing:
    2.5−3.6 N·m (25−37 kgf·cm, 22−32 lbf·in.)

  1. If the starting torque is out of standard, remove the 76 mm thrust shim and select a 76 mm thrust shim from following the table. Install a new 76 mm thrust shim and recheck. To increase the starting torque, increase the thickness of the 76 mm thrust shim. To decrease the starting torque, decrease the thickness of the 76 mm thrust shim. Changing the 76 mm thrust shim to the next size will increase or decrease starting torque about 0.3−0.4 N·m (3−4 kgf·cm, 2−3 lbf·in.).
