Pressure Testing
a While testing, be careJulot the rotating front wheels.
a Make sule litts, iacks, and safety stands are placed
properly (see section 1).
CAUTION: Befoie testing, be sure the transmission fluid
is filled to the proper level.
'1. Raise the vehicle {see section 'll.
2. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop the engine and connect a tachometer.
3. Connect the special tool to each inspection hole(s).
TOROUE: 18 N.m l1-8 kgt.m, 13lbf.ftl
CAUTION: Connect the A/T pressure gauge secure-
ly, be sure not to allow dust and olher foreign pani-
cles to enter the inspection hole.

ters shown above.
4. Start the engine, and measure the respective pres
sures as follows.
a Line Pressure
a Clutch Pressure
a Clutch Low/High Pressure
a Throttle B Pressure
5. Install a new sealing washer and the sealing bolt in
the inspection hole and tighten to the specified
torque.
TOROUE:18 N.m (1.8 kgf.m, 13lbf.ft)
NOTE: Do not reuse old sealing washers; alwaysreplace washers.
Line Pressure Measurement
-1. Set the parking brake, and block both rear wheels
securely.
-2. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm
3. Shift to S or @ position.
4. lMeasure line pressure.

Limited Slip Differential (B18C5 engine)
Description (cont'd)
When roundang a curve
When the vehacle rounds a curye, tne differential allows the outer wheel to rotate a little faster than the inner wheel.
when this takes p|ace. the short and |ong pinion gears rotate, and wa|k around the side gears in the directions
shown. lf, for example. the right shaft is rotated in a counterclockwise direction with the differential carrier held sta-
tionary, the force is transmitted through the right side gear, short pinion gears and long pinion gears to the left side
gear, causing the left shaft to rotate in a clockwise direction. This allows the outer wheel to turn more times than the
inner wheel when the vehicle goes around a turn.
PINION GEARILONG)
When limiting differential action
The limited slip differential acts to limit the differential action when either wheel slips on ice or snow or on turn. This
is done by using the friction created between each gear and differential carrier:"''
(1) The pinions are forced against the differential carrier by the force as they are- rotated and repelled outward.
(2) The ends of the pinion gears are held firmly against the differential carrier due to the side thrust from the heli-
callY cut gears.
CARRIEB
TTFT SHAFT
RIG}IT SHAFT
With the pinion gears locked, the torque applied to the slipping wheel is reduced 8nd the torque delivered to the
other wheel is increased.

Operational Check
Set the parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
With the engine off, shift the transmission into lstgear,
Rotate either front wheel bv hand and check that
the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction.
lf the opposite tront wheel does not rotste, or if voucannot spin the front wheels at all, the limited slip
differential is faulty and should be roplaced.
Rotating Torque Check
Setting parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in proper locations (see section 1).
With the engine off, shift the transmission into
Neutral.
Measure the rotating torque with a beam-type
torquo wrench in the direction shown, Rotate the
torque wrench morg than two complete turns and
take the maximum reading.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear and measure
the rotating torque again.
Calculate the rotating torque:

Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the
rotsting lorque is lower than the service limit.

Intermediate Shaft
Removal
Drain the transmission oil or fluid {see section 13 or
14t.
Remove the left driveshaft (see page 16-3).
Bemove the three dowel bolts.
Remove the intermediate sh8ft from the differential.
CAUTION: Hold the intermediate shaft horizontal
until it is clear ot th6 difforantirl to prevont damage
to thc ditf€rential oil seal.
7. Install the knuckle on the lower arm.
NOTE: Wipe off the grease before tightening the
nut at the ball joint.
CAUTION:
. Be careful not to damago the ballioint boot.
. Torque the castle nut to tho low€r torque speci-
tication, then tighten it only lar onough to align
th6 slot whh tho pin hols. Do not align the nut
by loosening.
