INSPECTION
INSPECTION |
Repair or replace the differential gear in the following cases:
• |
The hypoid
drive gear and drive pinion shaft tooth surface are damaged, excessively
worn, or seized.
|
• |
The roller bearing on the drive pinion shaft has a worn
or damaged roller path.
|
• |
There is damage, wear, or seizure of the differential
bevel pinion, differential bevel gear, washer, pinion shaft, and
straight pin.
|
• |
The differential case has worn or damaged sliding surfaces.

BEVEL PINION GEAR BACKLASH |
Measure the backlash between bevel gear and pinion. If it is not within specifications, install a suitable washer to adjust it.
Note | ||
Be sure the pinion gear tooth contacts adjacent gear teeth during measurement. |
ST1 32005094 MAGNET BASE
ST2 32005095 DIAL GAUGE
Standard backlash:0.13 — 0.18 mm (0.0051 — 0.0071 in)
HYPOID GEAR BACKLASH |
Set the ST1, ST2 and ST3. Insert the needle through transmission oil drain plug hole so that the needle comes in contact with the tooth surface at a right angle and check the backlash.
ST1 32005094 MAGNET BASE
ST2 32005095 DIAL GAUGE
ST3 32005096 PLATE
Backlash:0.13 — 0.18 mm (0.0051 — 0.0071 in)
Note | ||
If the backlash is outside specified range, adjust it by turning the holder in right side case. |
TOOTH CONTACT OF HYPOID GEAR |
Check the tooth contact of hypoid gear as follows: Apply a uniform thin coat of red lead on both tooth surfaces of 3 or 4 teeth of the hypoid gear. Move the hypoid gear back and forth by turning the transmission main shaft until a definite contact pattern is developed on hypoid gear, and judge whether face contact is correct. If it is inaccurate, make adjustment.
• |
Tooth contact is correct.
