(14) Measure and verify differential side gear end
play. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/
MANUAL/DIFFERENTIAL - ADJUSTMENTS).
ADJUSTMENT - DIFFERENTIAL TURNING
TORQUE
NOTE: Differential turning torque should only be
measured with the geartrain out of the transaxle. If
measurement is taken with transaxle assembled, an
inaccurate measurement will result.
NOTE: All differential cover-to-case bolts and exten-
sion housing-to-case bolts must be installed and
torqued to obtain accurate measurement.
(1) If transaxle is assembled, remove geartrain
and leave differential in place. (Refer to 21 - TRANS-
MISSION/TRANSAXLE/MANUAL - DISASSEMBLY)
(2) Install differential cover and torque differential
cover-to-case bolts to 54 N´m (40 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install extension housing and torque extension
housing-to-case bolts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
(4) Place transaxle on work bench so axle center-
line is parallel to the ground.
(5) Install turning torque tool C-4995 to differen-
tial at side opposite extension housing.
(6) Using in. lb./N´m dial indicator, rotate differen-
tial case multiple times and record measurement
(Fig. 131). Differential turning torque should be
within 2.3-3.4 N´m (20-30 in. lbs.). Refer to shim
chart for proper shim selection. If turning torque
measured is less than 2.3 N´m (20 in. lbs.), install a
thicker shim. If turning torque measured is greater
than 3.4 N´m (30 in. lbs.), install a thinner shim.

ADJUSTMENT - DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
END PLAY
Measure side gear end play: Insert feeler gauges
180É apart between differential side gear and thrust
washer as shown in (Fig. 132). Measurement taken
here applies to both sides. Side gear end play should
be between 0.025-0.152 mm (0.001-0.006 in.). If clear-
ance is greater than 0.152 mm (0.006 in.), install a
thicker thrust washer (both sides). If clearance is less
than 0.025 mm (0.001), install a thinner thrust
washer (both sides). Refer to (Fig. 133) for available
side gear shim thicknesses.
If end play measurement indicates a thrust washer
change is necessary, the differential must be disas-
sembled. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANS-
AXLE/MANUAL/DIFFERENTIAL - DISASSEMBLY)
FLUID
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
NOTE: For proper fluid level check intervals, (Refer
to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULES - DESCRIPTION)
The fluid required in this transaxle is Mopart
ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission FluidÐType 9602).
Use of substitute fluids may result in improper
transaxle operation and/or failure.
(1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Remove transaxle fill plug (Fig. 134).(3) Inspect fluid level. Fluid should be within 1/8º
below fill hole. Add MopartATF+4 (Automatic Trans-
mission FluidÐType 9602) as neccessary.
(4) Install fill plug, ensuring it is properly seated.
(5) Lower vehicle.
