SST
(or 36 mm Deep
Socket)

R00054

5. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the drive pinion preload using the backlash of the
drive pinion and ring gear.
SST 09229–55010
Preload (at start):
2JZ–GTE M/T
1.0–1.2 N·m (10–12 kgf·cm, 8.9–10.6 in.·lbf)
Except 2JZ–GTE M/T
0.5–0.8 N·m (5–8 kgf·cm, 4.3–6.9 in.·lbf)

6. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the total preload.
SST 09229–55010
Total preload (at start):
In addition to drive pinion preload
2JZ–GTE M/T
0.4–0.6 N·m (4–6 kgf·cm, 3.4–5.2 in.·lbf)
Except 2JZ–GTE M/T
0.5–0.8 N·m (5–8 kgf·cm, 4.3–6.9 in.·lbf)
If necessary, disassemble and inspect the differential

R00025

7. CONVENTIONAL TYPE ONLY:
CHECK PINION GEAR BACKLASH
Measure the pinion gear backlash while holding one side
gear toward the case.
Backlash:
0.05–0.20 mm (0.0020–0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install the cor-
rect thrust washer.

DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER DISASSEMBLY
HINT: When fastening the differential carrier to an overhaul
stand, etc., fasten it at the 4 places on the ring gear side
shown in the illustration.
