TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
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.
4. Install selected adjusting shim and then differential side bearing
outer race.
REVERSE IDLER GEAR END PLAY
●When adjusting reverse idler gear end play, select adjusting
shim for reverse idler gear. To select adjusting shim, measure
clearance between transaxle case and reverse idler gear.
●Calculate dimension "Q" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the
following procedure to satisfy specification of end play for
reverse idler gear.
Adjusting Shim
CAUTION:
Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.

Assembly and Disassembly (RS5F51A)ECS008CA
PRE-INSPECTION
●Check the clearance between side gear and differential case as
follows.
1. Clean final drive assembly sufficiently to prevent side gear thrust
washer, differential case, side gear, and other parts from sticking
by gear oil.
2. Upright the differential case so that the side gear to be measured faces upward.
3. Place final drive adapter and dial indicator onto side gear. Move
side gear up and down, and measure the clearance.
CAUTION:
There should be no resistance and gears should rotate
freely.
4. If not within specification, adjust the clearance by changing
thrust washer thickness.
5. Turn differential case upside down, and measure the clearance
between side gear and differential case on the other side in the
same way.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove mounting bolts.Then, separate the final gear from differential case.
2. Using a drift and puller, remove differential side bearing (clutch
housing side).
3. Using a drift and puller, remove differential side bearing (tran-
saxle case side).

4. Using a pin punch, pull out lock pin and pinion mate shaft.
5. Rotate pinion mate gears, and remove pinion mate gears, pinion
mate thrust washers, side gears, and side gear thrust washers
from differential case.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Gear, Washer, Shaft and Case
●Check side gears, side gear thrust washers, pinion mate shaft,
pinion mate gears, pinion mate thrust washers and differential
case. If necessary, replace with a new one.
Bearing
●Check for bearing damage and rough rotation. If necessary,
replace with a new one.
CAUTION:
When replacing tapered roller bearing, replace outer and inner
races as a set.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply gear oil to sliding area of differential case, each gear, and thrust washer.
2. Install side gear thrust washers and side gears into differential
case.
3. While rotating pinion mate thrust washers and pinion mate
gears, aligning them diagonally, install them into differential
case.

5. Measure end play of side gears following procedure below.
Then select side gear thrust washer.
a. Upright the differential case so that its side gear to be measured
face upward.
b. Place final drive adapter and dial indicator onto side gears.
c. Move side gears up and down to measure end play, and select
thrust washer so that it satisfies standard.
CAUTION:
●There should be no resistance and gears should rotate
freely.
●Place differential case upside down. Be sure to measure
end play for opposite side-gears likewise.
Thrust washer
CAUTION:
Only one thrust washer can be selected.
6. Using a pin punch, drive a lock pin into the pinion mate shaft.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the lock pin.
