Rotational Torque Measurement

Special Tools

KM-6037 Adapter





1. Install the front differential assembly (13) into the transmission case assembly (17).




2. Install the torque converter housing (10) onto the transmission case assembly.




3. Temporally tighten the 15 torque converter housing bolts (801, 802, 813). Torque the bolts uniformly.

Tighen bolts to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).





4. Rotate the differential in both directions to snug the bearing down.
5. Using KM-6037 and a torque meter, measure the preload (at starting) of the side bearings.

* Starting Torque (New Bearing) 0.78-1.37 N.m (6.90-12.13 lb in)
* Starting Torque (Reused Bearing) 0.39-0.69 N.m (3.45-6.11 lb in)


6. If the preload is not within specification, remove the differential from the transaxle case. Re-select adjusting shim. Refer to Shim Size Specifications (Shim Size Specifications) .
