FIG. 56—Checking Differential
Torque
High Torque
a. Insufficient lubricant on the
clutch plates.
b.
A clutch plate wedged in be-
tween the case halves.
c. An improperly centered Belleville
spring.
Low Torque
a. Weak Belleville spring.
b.
Improper amount of clutch
plates installed.
Under no circumstances should the
Belleville spring be ground down to
reduce torque. The torque required to
keep the side gear turning with new
clutch plates is 155 to 195 ft-lbs. On
reused clutch plates, the torque re-
quired is 75 ft-lbs minimun.
7.
If the differential bearings have
been removed, press them on as
shown in Figs. 49 and 50.
8. Install the side bearings on the
differential case, and install the case
in the carrier as described in steps 7
through 16 under Assembly and In-
stallation of Conventional Differential
Case. Adjust and check backlash be-
tween the ring gear and pinion as di-
rected under Differential Bearing Pre-
load Adjustments.
ASSEMBLY OF
TRACTION-LOK
DIFFERENTIAL CASE
1.
Lubricate all parts with Ford
Hypoid Lubricant (Ford Part No.
C6AZ-19580-C), during assembly of
differential.
2.
Mount the differential case in a
soft jawed vise and place a side gear
thrust washer and side gear in the
counterbore of the case.

. 57—Center Block and Pre-Load Springs Installation
3.
Install the pinion thrust washers
and place the pinion gears on the side
gear; aligning the holes in the washers
and gears with the holes in the case.
4.
Install the center block so that
the shaft holes are aligned with the
holes in the pinion gears and case.
The center block has two machined
sides and two rough sides.
5.
With a brass drift, drive in the
long pinion shaft from the outside of
the case aligning the lock pin holes in
the shaft with the holes in the case.
The center block should be positioned
so the long shaft is driven through the
rough side and short shafts driven
through the machined side (Fig. 57).
6. With a suitable drift, install the
shaft lock pins. Make sure the pinion
and side gears move freely.
7.
Place the four pre-load springs in
the holes provided in the center block.
8. Position a pre-load plate over the
four springs, making sure the springs
are properly seated. The pre-load
plate straddles the center block over
its narrower or machined width.
9. Mount the differential cover in a
soft jawed vise or holding fixture.
10.
Insert shim(s) of 0.050 total
thickness in the cover cavity.
11.
Install the composite plate (fric-
tion material on one side and steel on
the opposite) on the back side of the
clutch hub with the friction material
against the hub; next, install a friction
plate, then steel, friction, stee, fric-
tion, steel, friction, and lastily a steel
plate (Figures 3 and 58). When new
clutch plates are used, soak the plates
in Ford Hypoid Lubricant (Ford Part
No.
C6AZ-19580-C), or equivalent lu-
bricant, for approximately 30 minutes
before installation.
12.
Place the clutch hub with the
clutch plates into the clutch ear cavi-
ties in the differential cover. Make
sure that the splines on the last fric-
ion plate are engaged on the hub.
13.
Obtain locally a 5/8 inch x
2 1/2 inch or 9/16 inch x 2 1/2
inch bolt, nut and two I 1/2 inch
outside diameter flat washers approx.
1/8 inch in thickness. These parts are
required to compress the clutch pack
in order to obtain the proper shim
selection.
Install a flat washer on the bolt,
and place the bolt through the clutch
hub.
Hold the bolt in position and
turn the cover over. Place a flat wash-
er on the bolt and then install the nut.
Be sure the washers are centered, and
torque the nut 10 to 15 ft-lbs (Fig.
59).
14.
Place the shim template tool
(Ford Tool No. T68P-4946-A) in the
clutch hub. Some clearance should beprocarmanuals.com
