Tapered Roller Bearing Preload Adjustment
NOTE: lf any of the items listed below were replaced,
the tapered roller bearing preload must be adjusted.
a Transmission housing
a Clutch housing
a Ditferential carrier
a Tapered roller bearing and bearing outer race
a Thrust shim
1 . Remove the bearing outer race, the thrust shim, and
the 79.5 mm shim from the transmission housing
(see page 15-14).
CAUTION: Do not reuse the thrust shim if the bea.-
ing outer race was driven out-
2. First try the same size 79,5 mm shim that was
removeo.
CAUTION: Do not use more than two shims,

3.Install the thrust shim and 79.5 mm shim, then drive
the bearing outer race in the transmission housing
{see page 15-'14).
NOTEI
a Install the bearing outer race squarely.
a Check that there is no clearance between the
bearing outer race, thrust shim and transmission
housing.
With the mainshatt and countershaft removed, in-
stall the dillerential assembly, and torque the clutch
housing and transmission housing.

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.

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.

Tapered Roller Bearing Preload Adjustment
lf any of the items listed below were replaced, the
tapered roller bearing preload must be adjusted,
. Transmission housing
. Clutch housing
. Limited slip diffsrential assembly
. Tapored roller bearing and bearing outer race. Thrust shim
. 79,5 mm shim
Remove the bearing outer race, the thrust shim, and
the 79,5 mm shim from the transmission housing.
Replace the thrust shim and the 79.5 mm shim if
they were dsmaged when the bearing outer race
was driven out.
First try the same size 79.5 mm shim that was
removeo.
HOUSING
Install the thrust shim and only one 79.5 mm shim
in the transmission housing, then drive in the bear-
Ing our€r race.
Noto these items during rassembly:
. Install the bearing outer race squarely.. Check that there is no clearance between the
bearing outer race, shims and transmission
housing,
With the mainshatt and countershaft removed,
installthe differential assemblv. Assemble the clutch
housing and transmission housing without a sealing
a9ent, and torque the case bolts.
