Montero V6-3.8L SOHC (2005)
2. Insert special tool MB990939 between the differential carrier and the differential case, and then rotate the companion flange by hand (once in the
normal direction, and then once in the reverse direction) while applying a load to the drive gear so that the revolution torque [approximately 2.5 -
3.0 Nm (22.1 - 26.6 inch lbs.)] is applied to the drive pinion.
CAUTION: If the drive gear is rotated too much, the tooth contact pattern will become unclear and difficult to check.
3. Check the tooth contact condition of the drive gear and drive pinion.
NOTE: Check the tooth contact pattern to confirm that the adjustments of the pinion height and backlash have been done properly. Continue to
adjust the pinion height and backlash until the tooth contact pattern resembles the standard pattern. If, even after adjustments have been made, the
correct tooth contact pattern cannot be obtained, it means that the drive gear and the drive pinion have become worn beyond the allowable limit.
Replace the gear set.
