NOTE:
If the transmission was disassembled, the differential carrier tapered roller bearing preload must be adjusted.
Apply a light coat of clean transmission fluid on all parts before installation.

1. Differential Carrier Tapered Roller Bearing Outer Race - Install (Transmission Housing Side)
1.
Install the spacer (A).
2.
Install the differential carrier tapered roller bearing outer race (B) until it bottoms using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 62 x 64 mm bearing driver attachment.

2. Differential Carrier Tapered Roller Bearing Outer Race - Install (Torque Converter Housing Side)
1.
Install the oil guide plate (A) and the 68 mm thrust shim (B).
2.
Install the differential carrier bearing outer race (C) until it bottoms using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 62 x 68 mm bearing driver attachment so there is no clearance between the bearing outer race, the 68 mm thrust shim, the oil guide plate, and the torque converter housing.

3. Differential Assembly - Install

4. Torque Converter Housing - Install
1.
Install the torque converter housing (A) with the dowel pins (B), and tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern in at least two steps.

5. Differential Carrier Tapered Roller Bearing Preload - Inspect
1.
Install the preload inspection tool.
2.
Press the preload inspection tool gradually by tightening the bolt (A).
3.
Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the bearings.
4.
Measure the starting torque using the preload inspection tool, a torque wrench (A), and a socket (B).
NOTE: Measure the starting torque at normal room temperature in both directions.
Standard:
New Bearing:
1.25?1.65 N·m (12.7?16.8 kgf·cm, 11.0?14.6 lbf·in)
Reused Bearing:
0.95?1.35 N·m (9.7?13.8 kgf·cm, 8.4?12.0 lbf·in)
5.
If the measurement is out of the standard, remove the 68 mm thrust shim, and measure its thickness, then select a suitable 68 mm thrust shim.
NOTE:
To increase the starting torque, increase thickness of the 68 mm thrust shim.
To decrease the starting torque, decrease the thickness of the 68 mm thrust shim.
Do not use more than two thrust shims to adjust the starting torque.
