Differential
The
F5MCl
differential assembly is similar to previous
trans-
axles, except the vehicle speed sensor drive gear is mounted
on the differential case. The ring gear is an open center design
and is bolted to the differential case. The pinion gear of the
output shaft is in constant mesh with the ring gear which pro-
vides torque to the differential.
The differential case transfers torque from the ring gear to
the differential side gears. The differential case is mounted
between the front and rear case housings and supported by
two tapered roller bearings. The outer bearing races are pressed
into the front and rear transaxle case housings. The outer
race mounted in the front transaxle case uses a selectable
shim behind it for differential bearing preload adjustment.
The differential allows the wheels to turn at different speeds
while the same amount of torque is applied to both. The differen-
tial contains two sets of gears, the pinion gears and the side
gears. The pinions are meshed with the side gears and turn
on the pinion shaft which is held in the case by a roll pin.
The side gears are splined to the halfshafts and transfer torque
to the wheels. The side gear clearance must be adjusted by
using selectable side gear thrust washers.
