retighten it as before.
CAUTION:
Replace gasket with a new one.

2) Rotating parts should be coated with oil prior to assem-
bly.
3) All disassembled parts, if to be reused, should be rein-
stalled in the original positions and directions.
4) Gaskets and lock washers must be replaced with new
ones.
5) Liquid gasket should be used where specified to pre-
vent leakage.
6) Fill transmission gear oil through the oil level gauge
hole up to upper point level gauge.
C: INSPECTION
Disassembled parts should be washed clean first and then
inspected carefully.
1) Bearings
Replace bearings in the following cases:
Bearings whose balls, outer races and inner races are
broken or rusty.
Worn bearings
Bearings that fail to turn smoothly or make abnormal
noise when turned after gear oil lubrication.
B3M0038A
The ball bearing
3on the rear side of the drive pinion shaft


2should be checked for smooth rotation before the drive
pinion assembly is disassembled. In this case, because a
preload is working on the bearing, its rotation feels like it is
slightly dragging unlike the other bearings.
Bearings having other defects

3-1SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. General

Symptom and possible cause Remedy
4. Broken differential (case, gear, bearing, etc.)
Abnormal noise will develop and finally it will become impossible to continue to run due to broken pieces obstructing the gear
revolution.
(a) Insufficient or improper oil Disassemble differential and replace broken components and
at the same time check other components for any trouble,
and replace if necessary.
(b) Use of vehicle under severe conditions such as excessive
load and improper use of clutchReadjust bearing preload and backlash and face contact of
gears.
(c) Improper adjustment of taper roller bearing Adjust.
(d) Improper adjustment of drive pinion and hypoid driven
gearAdjust.
(e) Excessive backlash due to worn differential side gear,
washer or differential pinionAdd recommended oil to specified level. Do not use vehicle
under severe operating conditions.
(f) Loose hypoid driven gear clamping bolts Tighten.
5. Differential and hypoid gear noises
Troubles of the differential and hypoid gear always appear as noise problems. Therefore noise is the first indication of the
trouble. However noises from the engine, muffler, tire, exhaust gas, bearing, body, etc. are easily mistaken for the differential
noise. Pay special attention to the hypoid gear noise because it is easily confused with other gear noises. There are the
following four kinds of noises.
(1) Gear noise when driving: If noise increases as vehicle speed increases it may be due to insufficient gear oil, incorrect
gear engagement, damaged gears, etc.
(2) Gear noise when coasting: Damaged gears due to maladjusted bearings and incorrect shim adjustment
(3) Bearing noise when driving or when coasting: Cracked, broken or damaged bearings
(4) Noise which mainly occurs when turning: Unusual noise from differential side gear, differential pinion, differential pinion
shaft, etc.
(a) Insufficient oil Lubricate.
(b) Improper adjustment of hypoid driven gear and drive
pinionCheck tooth contact.
(c) Worn teeth of hypoid driven gear and drive pinion Replace as a set.
Readjust bearing preload.
(d) Loose roller bearing Readjust hypoid driven gear to drive pinion backlash and
check tooth contact.
(e) Distorted hypoid driven gear or differential case Replace.
(f) Worn washer and differential pinion shaft Replace.

1. Precaution
When disassembling or assembling the automatic
transmission, observe the following instructions.
1) Workshop
Provide a place that is clean and free from dust. Principally
the conventional workshop is suitable except for a dusty
place. In a workshop where grinding work, etc. which pro-
duces fine particles is done, make independent place
divided by the vinyl curtain or the equivalent.
2) Work table
The size of 1 x 1.5 m (40 x 60 in) is large enough to work,
and it is more desirable that its surface be covered with flat
plate like iron plate which is not rusted too much.
3) Cleaning of exterior
(1) Clean the exterior surface of transmission with
steam and/or kerosene prior to disassembly, however it
should be noted that vinyl tape be placed on the air
breather or oil level gauge to prevent infiltration of the
steam into the transmission and also the cleaning job
be done away from the place of disassembly and
assembly.
(2) Partial cleaning will do, depending on the extent of
disassembly (such as when disassembly is limited to
some certain parts).
4) Disassembly, assembly and cleaning
(1) Disassemble and assemble the transmission while
inspecting the parts in accordance with the Diagnostics.
(2) During job, don’t use gloves. Don’t clean the parts
with rags: Use chamois or nylon cloth.
(3) Pay special attention to the air to be used for clean-
ing. Get the moisture and the dust rid of the air as much
as possible. Be careful not to scratch or dent any part
while checking for proper operation with an air gun.
(4) Complete the job from cleaning to completion of
assembly as continuously and speedily as possible in
order to avoid occurrence of secondary troubles
caused by dust. When stopping the job unavoidably
cover the parts with clean chamois or nylon cloth to
keep them away from any dust.
(5) Use kerosene, white gasoline or the equivalent as
washing fluid. Use always new fluid for cleaning the
automatic transmission parts and never reuse. The
used fluid is usable in disassemble and assemble work
of engine and manual transmission.
(6) Although the cleaning should be done by dipping
into the washing fluid or blowing of the pressurized
washing fluid, the dipping is more desirable. (Do not rub
with a brush.) Assemble the parts immediately after the
cleaning without exposure to the air for a while. Besides
in case of washing rubber parts, perform the job quickly
not to dip them into the washing fluid for long time.
