Differential Case Preload Adjustment

Place a piece of solder (approx. 10 mm in length, 3 mm in diameter) on the torque converter housing as shown in the figure.

Install the torque converter housing to the transmission case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to the specified torque. Loosen the bolts, and remove the solder. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness (T) of the pressed solder. Select a spacer with a thickness that is within the following value.

1. Standard value: (T+0.045 mm) to (T+0.105 mm)
