DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
●When adjusting differential side bearing preload, select adjust-
ing shim for differential side bearing. To select adjusting shim,
measure clearance “L” between transaxle case and differential
side bearing outer race.
●Calculate dimension “L” (thickness of adjusting shim) using the
following procedure to satisfy specification of preload for differ-
ential side bearing.
Adjusting Shim
CAUTION:
Up to 2 adjusting shims can be selected.
1. Using depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension
"L
1 " between clutch housing case end face and mounting face
of adjusting shim.
2. Install outer race onto differential side bearing on final gear side.
Holding lightly the outer race horizontally by hand, rotate final
gear five times or more (for smooth movement of bearing roller).
3. Using depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the fig-
ure, measure dimension "L
2 " between differential side bearing
outer race and transaxle case end face.Preload: 0.15 - 0.21 mm (0.0059 - 0.0083 in)
