REAR PLANETARY GEAR INSPECTION
MEASURE PLANETARY PINION GEAR THRUST
CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear
thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.16±0.56 mm (0.0063±0.0220 in.)
Maximum clearance:
0.61 mm (0.0240 in.)
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the
planetary gear assembly.
NO.2 ONE±WAY CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL ONE±WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install the No.2 one±way clutch into the outer race, facing
the flange side of the No.2 one±way clutch toward the
shiny side of the outer race.
(b) Install the 2 retainers and snap rings to both sides.

2. INSTALL PLANETARY GEAR INTO NO.2 ONE±WAY
CLUTCH
Install the planetary gear into the No.2 one±way clutch,
facing the inner race of the rear planetary gear toward the
black side of the No.2 one±way clutch outer race.
3. CHECK OPERATION OF NO.2 ONE±WAY CLUTCH
4. INSTALL THRUST WASHER
(a) Coat the thrust washer with petroleum jelly.
(b) Align the tab of the washer with the hollows of the carrier.
RING GEAR FLANGE REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE RING GEAR FLANGE
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring.
(b) Remove the flange from the ring gear.
2. INSTALL RING GEAR FLANGE
(a) Position the flange into the ring gear.
(b) Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.

DIFFERENTIAL CASE DISASSEMBLY
1. REMOVE SIDE BEARING
Using SST, remove the 2 side bearings.
SST 09608±16011, 09550±40010
2. REMOVE RING GEAR
(a) Place matchmarks on both the differential case and ring
gear.
(b) Remove the 12 bolts.
(c) Using a plastic hammer, tap out the ring gear.
3. CHECK SIDE GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial gauge, measure the backlash of each side
gear while holding one pinion toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 ± 0.20 mm (0.0020 ± 0.0079 in.)

(d) Check the side gear backlash.
Measure the side gear backlash while holding one pinion
gear toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05±0.20 mm (0.0020±0.0079 in.)
Refering to the table below, select thrust washers which
will ensure that the backlash is within specification. Try to
select washers of the same size for both sides.
Thrust washer thickness
mm (in.)
Thickness mm (in.)Thickness mm (in.)
1.60 (0.0630)1.70 (0.0670)
1.80 (0.0709)
If the backlash is not within specification, install a thrust
washer of a different thickness.
(e) Using a pin punch and hammer, drive the lock pin through
the case and hole in the pinion shaft.
(f) Stake the differential case.
2. INSTALL RING GEAR
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear to about 100°C (212°F) in an oil bath.
NOTICE: Do not heat the ring gear above 110°C (230°F).
(c) Carefully remove the ring gear from the oil bath.
(d) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with cleaning
solvent.
(e) Quickly install the ring gear on the differential case.
Install the 12 bolts.
HINT: Align the matchmarks on the differential left case
and contact the ring gear.
(f) Tighten the set bolts uniformly a little at a time.
Torque the bolts.
Torque: 124 N´m (1,260 kgf´cm, 91 ft´lbf)

(b) Coat the bearing with petroleum jelly and install it onto the
front side of the forward clutch.
HINT: There are 2 different thickness bearings for adjust-
ment of the input shaft thrust play.

(c) Coat the thrust washer with petroleum jelly and install it
with the oil groove facing upward onto the direct clutch
drum.
(d) Mesh the hub of the forward clutch flukes with the direct
clutch discs.
HINT: Be careful that the bearing and thrust washer do not
get out of place.
(e) Install the direct clutch and forward clutch into the case.
HINT: Hold the direct clutch toward the forward clutch to
prevent the thrust washer from getting out of place.
25. INSTALL OIL PUMP INTO CASE
(a) Coat a new O±ring with ATF and install it to the oil pump.
