(b) Hold the differential case RH by vice. Install the center dif-
ferential pinion and pinion thrust washer to the differential
spider and install them to the differential case RH.
NOTICE:
When holding the differential case RH by vise, be sure to
place an aluminum sheet between them and use a mini-
mum force.
(c) Pressing and holding the differential spider toward the dif-
ferential case RH, measure the pinion's backlash with a
dial indicator as illustrated.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specified value, refer to the table
below and select a thrust washer which will ensure that the
backlash is within the specified value.
Thrust washer thickness: mm (in.)

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL
HINT:
Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal
operating temperature.
Fluid temperature: 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking
brake.
(b) With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed,
shift the shift lever into all positions from P to L position,
and return to P position.
(c) take out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
(d) Put it back fully into the pipe.
(e) take it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT posi-
tion.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings,
FIPGs, oil seals, plugs and/or other parts.
