13. Apply the specified gear oil to each part. Insert each part in differential case (B) as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Be particularly sure to apply oil to the contact surfaces and sliding surfaces.
Gear oil: MITSUBISHI Genuine Gear Oil Part Number 8149630EX or equivalent.
B. Screw installation. (1)
1. Align the mating marks (the same numeral on each case) of differential case (A) and differential case (B).
2. Tighten the screw so that the cases are in close contact.
NOTE: If, even though the screw is tightened, the end surfaces of case (A) and case (B) do not come into close contact, probably the
thrust washer and spring plate are not fit correctly into the groove, so reassemble.
C. Differential preload inspection for limited slip differential. (-)
Required Special Tools or equivalents:
MB990989: Base.
MB990992: Tool C.
1. After assembly, in order to check the frictional force of the clutch plate, use special tools MB990989, MB990992 to measure the starting
torque.
NOTE: Measure the starting torque after rotating slightly. When measuring the torque, do so at the beginning of movement.
Standard value:
When a new clutch plate is used: 39 - 74 Nm (29 - 54 ft. lbs.)
When the current clutch plate is reused: 25 - 74 Nm (18 - 54 ft. lbs.)
2. If the starting torque is not within the standard value, disassemble the differential case assembly and repair or replace the parts.
