12. INSTALL (ADJUSTING PLATE WASHER AND)
DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER RETAINERS
2JZ–GTE M/T:
(a) Place the adjusting washer to the carrier retainer.
(b) Using SST and hammer, install the carrier retainer with
adjusting washer.
SST 09608–35014 (09608–06020, 09608–06150)
HINT: Do not install a new O–ring and a new oil seal. Install
it after inspect tooth contact pattern.
(c) Tighten the 8 bolts.
Torque: 47 N·m (480 kgf·cm, 35 ft·lbf)
Except 2JZ–GTE M/T:
(a) Using SST and hammer, install the carrier retainer.
SST 09608–35014 (09608–06020, 09608–06180)
(b) Tighten the 8 bolts.
Torque: 22 N·m (225 kgf·cm, 16 ft·lbf)
13. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using dial gauge, measure the backlash of the ring gear and
drive pinion at 3 positions at least.
Backlash (average value):
0.08–0.13 mm (0.0031–0.0051 in.)
NOTICE: The difference between the maximum and mini-
mum measured values must be less than 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.).
HINT: The measured values should be used for reference
when selecting washers, so make a memo of the values.
If the backlash is not within the specification replace the
washer on the ring gear side with one of a different thickness
using the following procedure.
Adjusting washer thickness
