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.

JOINT ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE:
When doing operations which involve the removal and
installation of the propeller shaft, always check the joint.
Make adjustments if necessary.
1. STABILIZE PROPELLER SHAFT AND DIFFERENTIAL
(a) Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize
the center support bearing and flexible couplings.
(b) Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize
the differential mounting cushion.
2. CHECK JOINT ANGLE OF NO.2 JOINT AND NO.3
JOINT
(a) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the inter-
mediate shaft and propeller shaft.
SST 09370-50010
HINT:
The SST should be directly underneath the tube.
(b) Using the SST, measure the installation angle of the dif-
ferential.
HINT:
Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the posi-
tion, as shown in the illustration.

C: Differential installation angle
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it
with the center support bearing adjusting washer and differen-
tial adjusting shim.

3. HOW TO READ THIS CHART
Take measurements, then calculate the No.2 and No.3 joint
angle.
Make the calculated values on the chart and read the coordi-
nates.
Replace the adjusting washer and shim in accordance with the
coordinates read and adjust the joint angles.
Example
Measurements (Installation angle):
Intermediate shaft: 1°50'
Propeller shaft: 2°14'
Differential: 2°15'
Joint angle:
No.2: 1°50' - 2°14' = -24'
No.3: 2°14' - 2°15' = -1'
Adjustment:
Center support bearing
Standard parts: 4 mm - 2 mm = 2 mm
Use adjusting washers which are 2 mm (0.079 in.)
thicker.
Differential
Use adjusting shims which are 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
thicker.

HINT:

Maintain the same thickness for the adjusting washers
and adjusting shims on both the left and right sides.

If a washer and shim of the exact thickness are not avail-
able, use the parts which are the nearest in thickness.
NOTICE:
Check the joint angle once again after making the adjust-
ment.
