1.Place the differential assembly on V-blocks and in-
stall both axles.
Check backlash of both pinion gears.
Standard (New): 0.05-O.15 mm (0.002-0.006 inl
3. lf backlash is out of tolerance, replace the differen-
tial carrier.

NOTE: Check the bearings for wear and rough rotation.
lf the bearings are OK, removal is not necessary.
1. Remove the ball bearings using a bearing puller.

Tap on the transmission housing side of the differen-
tial assembly with the special tool to seat the
dilferential assembly in the torque converter housing.
Measure the clearance between the thrust shim and
outer race of the ball bearing in the t.ansmission
housing.
STANDARD: O-0.15 mm {0-O.OO6 in}
lf out of limits, select a new thrust shim from the
following table:
THFUST SHIM, 80 mm
NOTE: It the thrust shim-to-ball bearing outer race
clearance measured in step 5 is less than the specifi-
cation, it is not necessa.y to pertorm steps 7 and 8.
Remove the transmission housing.
ReDlace the 2.50 mm (0.098 in) thrust shim with
the one oJ the correct thickness selected in step 6.
Install the transmission housing (see section 14).
