INSTALLATION
1. 2JZ-GE:
INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) Apply grease to the flexible coupling centering bushings.
Grease:
Molybdenum disulfide lithium base, NLGI No.2.
(b) Remove the SST.
(c) Install the propeller shaft to the transmission.
(d) Insert the propeller shaft from the vehicle's rear and con-
nect the transmission and differential.
NOTICE:
Support the center support bearing by hand so that the
transmission and intermediate shaft, and propeller shaft
and differential, remain in a straight line.
(e) Temporarily install the 2 center support bearing set bolts
with the adjusting washers.
HINT:
Use the adjusting washers which were removed.
(f) Align the matchmarks and install the propeller shaft on
the differential with the 3 bolts, washers and nuts.
NOTICE:
Bolts should be inserted from the propeller shaft side.
Torque: 79 N´m (805 kgf´cm, 58 ft´lbf)
(g) If using a new propeller shaft.
(1) w/ Phasemarks:
Install the propeller shaft phasemarks and differen-
tial phasemarks so the their respective alignment
phasemarks match.
If the propeller shaft phasemarks and differential
phasemarks do not align, install the propeller shaft
and differential alignment phasemarks as close to-
gether as possible.
(2) w/o Phasemarks:
Install the propeller shaft.
