5. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of the ring gear
and drive pinion at 3 points (minimum) and check that the aver-
age value is within the specification.
Backlash (average value)
ALL0.08 - 0.13 mm (0.0031 - 0.0051 in.)
NOTICE:
The difference between the maximum and minimum mea-
sured values must be less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.).
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the ring
gear backlash (See page SA-74).
6. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the preload of backlash between the drive pinion and
ring gear.
SST 09229-55010
Preload (at starting)
2JZ-GTE M/T1.0 - 1.2 N´m (10 - 12 kgf´cm, 8.9 - 10.6 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
7. CHECK 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, 3.4 - 5.2 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential.
8. CONVENTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL ONLY:
CHECK PINION GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the pinion gear backlash while
holding one side gear toward the case.
Backlash: 0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the correct
thrust washer (See page SA-74).
9. CHECK TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN

3. INSTALL RING GEAR ON DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Clean the contact surfaces of the differential case, the
threads of the ring gear and differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear in boiling water.
(c) Carefully remove the ring gear from the boiling water.
(d) After the moisture on the ring gear has completely evapo-
rated, quickly install the ring gear to the differential case.
HINT:
Align the matchmarks on the ring gear and the differential case.
(e) Temporarily tighten the 2 bolts so that the bolt holes in the
ring gear and differential case are not misaligned.
(f) After the ring gear has cooled sufficiently, install new ring
gear set bolts to which thread lock has been applied.
Thread lock:
Part No. 08833-00100, THREE BOND 1360 K or equiv-
alent.
NOTICE:
New ring gear set bolts should be used in every case.
(g) Torque the set bolts uniformly and a little at a time.
Torque: 64 N´m (650 kgf´cm, 47 ft´lbf)
(h) Tighten the bolts an additional 60 - 90 °.
