M/T Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment

Special Tools Required Driver 07749-0010000 Attachment, 78 x 80 mm 07NAD-PX40100 Preload inspection tool 07YAJ-S3V0100 If any of the items listed below were replaced, the carrier bearing preload must be adjusted. Transmission housing Clutch housing Differential carrier Spacer Carrier bearing and outer race Remove the oil seals from the transmission housing and clutch housing. If you replaced the carrier bearing on the transmission housing side of the carrier, remove and discard the bearing outer race. Heat up the transmission housing to about 100 °C (212 °F) with a heat gun (A), then remove the bearing outer race (B), spacer (C), and 81 mm shim (D). Do not heat the housing in excess of 100 °C (212 °F). |

If you replaced the carrier bearing on the clutch housing side of the carrier, remove and discard the beaing outer race. Heat up the clutch housing to about 100 °C (212 °F) with a heat gun (A), then remove the bearing outer race (B) and spacer (C). Do not heat the housing in excess of 100 °C (212 °F). |

Install the 81 mm shim (A), spacer (B), and bearing outer race (C) in the transmission housing by using the special tools. (Use a new race if you replaced the bearing.) There should be no space between the race, spacer, and housing. |

If you removed the bearing outer race from the clutch housing, use the special tools to install a new bearing outer race (A) and spacer (B). There should be no space between the race, spacer, and housing. With the mainshaft and countershaft removed, install the differential assembly, and bolt the transmission and clutch housing together, and tighten the bolts to 44 N·m (4.5 kgf·m, 33 lbf·ft). NOTE: It is not necessary to use sealing agent between the housings for this adjustment. Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the tapered roller bearings. |

1. At normal room temperature, measure the starting torque of the differential assembly by rotating it in both directions with the special tool and a torque wrench (A).
   Standard: | 3.43−4.51 N·m (35−46 kgf·cm, 30−40 lbf·in.)
1. If the carrier bearing preload is not within the standard, select a 81 mm thrust shim that will provide the correct preload: Compare the bearing preload you got on the first try with the specified preload of 3.43−4.51 N·m (35−46 kgf·cm, 30−40 lbf·in.). If the preload you measured was less than specified, subtract it from the specified preload. If the preload you measured was more than specified, subtract it from the specified preload. For example, with a 2.50 mm (0.098 in.) thrust shim:
   (1) specified | 4.51 N·m (46 kgf·cm, 40 lbf·in.)
   − you got less | 2.55 N·m (26 kgf·cm, 23 lbf·in.)
   | 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 17 lbf·in.) less
   (2) you got more | 5.29 N·m (54 kgf·cm, 47 lbf·in.)
   − specified | 4.51 N·m (46 kgf·cm, 40 lbf·in.)
   | 0.78 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in.) more
   NOTE: Each shim size up or down from standard makes about 0.3−0.4 N·m (3−4 kgf·cm, 2.6−3.5 lbf·in.) difference in preload. In example (1), your preload was 1.96 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 17 lbf·in.) less than standard, so you need a thrust shim five sizes thicker than standard (try the 2.65 mm (0.104 in.) 81 mm thrust shim, and recheck). In example (2), your preload was 0.78 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in.) more than standard, so you need a thrust shim two sizes thinner (try the 2.44 mm (0.096 in.) 81 mm thrust shim, and recheck). 81 mm Shim
