NOTE:
Apply oil to the oil seal lips.
3) Install a new O-ring.
E: INSPECTION
•Check each component for scratches, damage
or other faults.
•Measure the backlash, and then adjust it to be
within specification.
<Ref. to 5AT-89, ADJUSTMENT, Front Differential
Assembly.>
F: ADJUSTMENT
1) Using the ST, screw-in the retainer until resis-
tance is felt.
NOTE:
Screw in the RH side slightly deeper than the LH
side.

2) Remove the oil pump cover.
3) Remove the liquid gasket from the mating sur-
face completely.
4) Install the oil pump cover to converter case, and
secure them with tightening four bolts evenly.
NOTE:

6) Tighten the LH retainer by rotating the shaft until
resistance is felt. Then loosen the retainer RH.
Keep tightening the retainer LH, and loosening the
retainer RH until the pinion shaft no longer be
turned. This is the “zero” state.
7) After the “zero” state is established, back off the
retainer LH 3 notches and secure it with the lock
plate. Then back off the retainer RH and retighten
until it stops. Rotate the drive pinion 2 or 3 times.
Tighten the retainer RH further 1-3/4 notches. This
sets the preload. Finally, secure the retainer with its
lock plate.
NOTE:
Turning the retainer by one tooth changes the
backlash approx. 0.05 mm (0.0020 in).
8) Turn the drive pinion several times using ST1,
and check to see if the backlash is within the spec-
ification using ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST5.

3. General Description
A: CAUTION
•SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the TCM.
CAUTION:
•All air bag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
tric test equipment to check these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when performing diagnostics or
servicing the TCM.
•MEASUREMENT
When measuring the voltage and resistance of the
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order
to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more
than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.
Tightening torque:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
3. ATF LEVEL
Make sure that ATF level is the specified amount.
<Ref. to 5AT-26, INSPECTION, Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid.>
