M/T Differential Backlash Inspection

  1. Place the differential assembly on V-blocks (A), and install the intermediate shaft (B) and the left driveshaft (C).
  1. Measure the backlash of both pinion gears (B) with a dial indicator (C). When the backlash is not within the standard, check the differential carrier condition, and replace it if necessary.
    Standard (New):
    0.05−0.15 mm (0.002−0.006 in.)
