INSPECTION
NOTE: The differential endplay is set during manufacture and need not be checked or adjusted unless transaxle case, differential case, differential ball
bearings, or differential bearing retainer is replaced.
Prior to installing differential into case, remove burrs on transaxle mounting surface to ensure accurate feeler gauge reading during endplay
measurement.
Shim Spacer Tool Installation
1. Install differential assembly and place shim spacer tool No. T83P-4451-BH or equivalent on differential ball bearing outer race. Ensure shim
spacer tool thickness is 0.054-0.055 inch.

Shim Selector Tool Installation
3. Install shim selector tool No. T81P-4551-A or equivalent in the differential bearing retainer. Ensure tool is centered in the differential seal bore.
