3-2 TORQUE TRANSFER MECHANISM
(1) Remove the drain plug to discharge the gear oil.
(2) Fit the drain plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
(3) Remove the filler plug and add the specified gear oil
up to the bottom end of the filler plug hole.
Specified gear oil:
MITSUBISHI GENUINE DIA QUEEN SUPER AYC
FLUID
Quantity used: 0.70
0
0.05dm3{0.700
0.05}
(4) Fit the filler plug and tighten it to the specified torque.
4. FLUID LEVEL CHECK
(1) Remove the maintenance lid located in the luggage
compartment.
(2) If the vehicle has been run, leave it for 5 min. or more
in an ordinary temperature (10
C to 30
C) to allow the
accumulator internal pressure to drop.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is less than 10
C or less,
allow more time to leave the vehicle to stand idle.
(3) Check that the fluid level in the oil reservoir is in the
range between MAX and MIN.
(4) If the fluid level is lower than MIN, add the specified
fluid.
Specified fluid: MITSUBISHI DIA QUEEN ATF-SPII
(5) Reinstall the maintenance lid.
5. BLEEDING
(1) Lift up the vehicle.
(2) Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
(3) Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
(4) After air has been completely discharged, tighten the
bleeder screw.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9 Nm {0.9 kgf
m}
(6) Perform steps (2) through (5) for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
counterclockwise.

REAR AXLE – LSD Case Assembly 27-47
ASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AINSTALLATION TO DIFFERENTIAL CASE B
Before starting the assembly procedure, perform the following
steps to adjust dimensional differences (clutch plate friction
force) in the axial direction of the components inside the
differential case and axial clearance of the differential side
gear.
(1) Place friction discs (two each) and friction plates (three
each) one on top of another as illustrated and, using
a micrometer, measure the thickness of each of the right
and left assemblies. Select different discs and plates so
that the difference between the right and left assemblies
falls within the specified range.
Standard value: 0 – 0.05 mm
NOTE
If a new part is used, note that the friction disc comes
in two thicknesses: 1.6 mm and 1.7 mm.
(2) Measure the thickness of each of the right and left spring
plates.
(3) Assemble the pressure ring internal parts (pinion shaft
and pressure ring), friction plates, and friction discs and,
using a micrometer, measure the overall width.
NOTE
When taking measurements, press the assembly from
both sides so that the pinion shaft makes a positive contact
with the groove in the pressure ring.
(4) Find value (A) which is the thickness measured in step
(3) added to the thickness of two spring plates.
(5) Find dimension (B) between the spring plate faying
surfaces when differential case A and B are assembled
together.
B = C + D – E
(6) If the clearance between the spring plate and differential
case (B – A) is outside the specified range, change the
friction discs and make adjustments.
Standard value: 0.06 – 0.25 mm
(7) Coat each part with the specified gear oil and mount
it in the specified direction and order into differential case
B.
Gear oil: DIA QUEEN LSD GEAR OIL
NOTE
Apply a careful coat of gear oil to the contacting and
sliding surfaces.

REAR AXLE – LSD Case Assembly 27-48
BSCREW TIGHTENING
(1) Align the alignment mark on differential case A with that
on differential case B.
(2) Tighten the screws connecting differential case A and
B a uniform amount little by little in the diagonal order.
NOTE
If tightening the screws does not bring the two cases
properly together, spring plates are not probably
assembled properly. Reassemble from the start.
CLSD DIFFERENTIAL TORQUE CHECK
(1) Using the special tool, check for differential torque.
Standard value:
When new clutch plate is
installed Nm {kgf
m}When existing clutch plate is
reused Nm {kgf
m}
5 – 19 {0.5 – 1.9}2 – 19 {0.2 – 1.9}
NOTE
Before measuring the differential torque, first turn the
gears so they snug each other, then take measurements
during rotation.
(2) If the measurement falls outside the specified range,
disassemble the differential case assembly and repair
or replace defective parts.
INSPECTION
1. DIFFERENTIAL CASE INTERNAL PARTS
CONTACT/SLIDING SURFACE CHECK
(1) Clean the disassembled parts with cleaning oil and dry
them with compressed air.
(2) Check each plate, disc, and pressure ring for the following:
A. Friction and sliding surfaces of friction discs, friction
plates, and spring plates.
Replace a defective part with heat discoloration and
excessive wear with a new one, as it degrades locking
performance.
NOTE
If the inner periphery of the friction face shows traces
of harsh contact, it is because of the spring tension
of each plate, disc and other part. Do not confuse
this with abnormal wear.
B. Inner periphery and outer periphery protrusions of
friction discs, friction plates, and spring plates.
Replace a cracked or damaged part with a new one.
C. Friction and sliding surfaces between pressure rings
and friction discs.
