7. INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR
(a) Using ATF and a heater, heat the front differential
ring gear to 90 to 110
C (194.0 to 230.0 F)
NOTICE:
Do not overheat the ring gear to 110
C (230.0F)
or more.
(b) Clean the contract surface of the front differential
case.
(c) Align the matchmarks, and install the front
differential ring gear case quickly.
NOTICE:
Do not install the bolts while the ring gear is hot.
(d) Tighten the 14 bolts.
Torque: 95 N*m (969 kgf*cm, 70 ft.*lbf)
NOTICE:

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
(a) The Electronic Controlled Automatic Transaxle
(ECT) is an automatic transaxle that electronically
controls shift timing using the Engine Control
Module (ECM). The ECM detects electrical signals
that indicate engine and driving conditions, and
controls the shift point based on driver habits and
road conditions. As a result, fuel efficiency and
power transaxle performance are improved.
Shift shock is reduced by controlling the engine and
transaxle simultaneously.
In addition, the ECT has the following features:
• Diagnostic function.
• Fail-safe function when a malfunction occurs.
