M/T Differential Carrier Bearing Preload Adjustment

Preload Inspection Tool 070AJ-0020101
cardiagn.com
NOTE: If any of the items listed below were replaced, the carrier bearing preload must be adjusted.
Transmission housing
Clutch housing
Differential carrier
Spacer
Carrier bearing and bearing outer race
1. Differential Carrier Bearing Preload - Adjust
1. Install the 81 mm shim, the 46 x 81 x 1 mm spacer, and the 50 x 81 x 18 mm bearing outer race into the transmission
housing, and install the 46 x 80 x 1 mm spacer and the 45 x 80 x 21 mm bearing outer race into the clutch housing, if they are
removed.
NOTE:
The tapered roller bearing and the bearing outer race compose the carrier bearing are always should be a set. Do not
combine the other one.
Note the thickness size of the used 81 mm shim.
2. Install the differential carrier with the tapered roller bearing, and assemble the transmission housing and the clutch housing
using the 10 mm flange bolts by specified tightening torque.
NOTE: It is not necessary to use sealing agent between the housings for this procedure.
3. Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the carrier bearings.
1 of 3 1/16/2019 12:50 PM
4. At normal room temperature, measure the starting torque of the differential assembly by rotating it in both directions using the
preload inspection tool, a torque wrench (A), and a socket (B).
5. If the carrier bearing preload is not within the standard, select an 81 mm shim that will provide the correct preload:
cardiagn.com
Compare the bearing preload you got on the first try with the specified preload of 3.5－4.5 N·m (35－46 kgf·cm, 30－40
lbf·in).
If the preload you measure was less than specified, subtract it from the specified preload.
If the preload you measure was more than specified, subtract the specified preload from the preload you measure.
Standard: 3.5－4.5 N·m (35－46 kgf·cm, 30－40 lbf·in)
6. Subtract the appropriate thrust shim thickness from the middle of the standard preload: 4.0 N·m (41 kgf·cm, 36 lbf·in).
NOTE:
Each shim size up or down from standard makes about 0.3－0.4 N·m (3－4 kgf·cm, 2.6－3.5 lbf·in) difference in preload.
Assemble only one 81 mm shim. Do not install two or more 81 mm shim combined.
Example 1 (measured preload was less than the standard):
Measured preload: 2.1 N·m (21 kgf·cm, 18 lbf·in) with a 2.50 mm (0.0984 in) thrust shim:
Standard 4.0 N·m (41 kgf·cm, 36 lbf·in)

－Measurement 2.1 N·m (21 kgf·cm, 18 lbf·in)
1.9 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 18 lbf·in) less
The subtracted preload was 1.9 N·m (20 kgf·cm, 18 lbf·in) less than the standard, so you need a shim five sizes thicker than
in measured (try the 2.65 mm (0.1043 in) 81 mm shim, and recheck).
Example 2 (measured preload was more than the standard):
Measured preload: 4.8 N·m (49 kgf·cm, 43 lbf·in) with a 2.50 mm (0.0984 in) thrust shim:
Standard 4.8 N·m (49 kgf·cm, 43 lbf·in)

－Measurement 4.0 N·m (41 kgf·cm, 36 lbf·in)
0.8 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in) more
The subtracted preload was 0.8 N·m (8 kgf·cm, 7 lbf·in) more than the standard, so you need a shim two sizes thinner than in
measured (try the 2.44 mm (0.0961 in) 81 mm shim, and recheck).

M/T Differential Operation Check 9506 http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/sm/1/2/Contents/enu/61TBAD/R...
M/T Differential Operation Check
NOTE: The helical type limited slip differential (LSD) distributes optimum power between the two driving axles according to the
difference in torque as demanded by the driving wheels. Under no circumstances should the engine be started with either
wheel raised off the ground, such as when adjusting wheel balance or when transporting the vehicle in the event of an
accident.
1. M/T Differential Operation - Check
1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Raise the vehicle on a lift. Make sure it is securely

supported, and allow all four wheels to rotate freely.
3. Shift the transmission into low gear.
cardiagn.com
4. Rotate either front wheel by hand, and check that the other
wheel rotates in the opposite direction.
5. Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the opposite

front wheel does not rotate, or if you can not spin the front
wheels at all.
