14. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring
gear in contact.
SST 09229-55010
Total preload (at starting)
Drive pinion preload plus
2JZ-GTE M/T0.4 - 0.6 N´m (4 - 6 kgf´cm, 3.5 - 5.2 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If the measured preload is less than the specification, replace
the washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with a thicker
one.
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with thinner one.
HINT:
Changing the washer thickness by 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) will
change the total preload by approx. 0.1 N´m (1 kgf´cm, 0.9
in.´lbf).
15. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at 3 different positions on the ring gear
with red lead primer.
(b) Hold the companion flange firmly and rotate the ring gear
in both directions.
(c) Inspect the tooth contact pattern.

NOTICE:
When driving out the mount cushion, be careful not to
touch the member with the SST. Align the SST straight so
that the bolt of the SST is parallel with the center line of the
mount cushion. When installing the bolts to the LH and RH
differential mount cushions, make sure the bolts are
passed through the correct holes in the SST, as shown in
the illustration.
3. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT CUSHION
Using SST, install the cushion so that the marks are positioned,
as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:
Do not make a mistake with left and right sides or top and
bottom. Set the SST after temporarily installing the differ-

cushion is aligned straight in relation to the member, check
that the SST is fully in contact with all of the cushion.
