Fig. 68 Obtaining Differential Case Depth
Fig. 69 Measuring Overall Width
Assemble differential carrier in reverse numbered sequence shown noting the following:
1. Before assembly, use the following method to adjust clearance between spring plates and differential cases and to adjust endplay of side gear when
installing internal components.
a. Obtain differential case depth (A) by subtracting dimension (D) from dimension (C) then adding dimension (B) as shown. This represents
distance between clutch plate contact surface when case halves are assembled.
b. Stack spring plates on each other to make left and right sets. Measure and record thickness of left (Ll) set, and right (Lr) set.
NOTE: Select left and right sets to minimize difference in thickness.
c. Measure thickness of friction discs and friction plates. Record left (Kl) and right (Kr) measurements.
NOTE: Select left and right sets to minimize difference in thickness.
d. Obtain thickness difference (X) between right and left clutch plate sets as follows. X = (Lr + Kr) - (Ll + Kl).
e. If difference is more than 0.0020 inch, replace components as necessary.
f.
Assemble pressure rings and their inner parts, friction plates and friction discs together. Measure overall width (E).
g. Obtain clearance (Y) between clutch plate set and differential case as follows. Y = A - (E + Lr + Ll).
h. If clearance (Y) is not 0.0024-0.0098 inch, change friction discs.
2. Place each part in differential case as shown.
3. After assembly, check rotation torque, as outlined above.
