Backlash between Differential Pinion and LSD Side Gear
1. Assemble the pinion gear (1), (6) and pinion shaft (2) without
differential side gear (13).
2. Assemble the LSD side gear (4) without belleville washers
(cupped spring washer) (11), steel plates (9), LSD discs (12)
and LSD shim (8).
3. Put the fuse (3) on the LSD side gear (4).
4. Assemble the differential case (7) and differential case cover
(5).
5. Turn the LSD side gear using the yoke shaft to clash the fuse.
6. Disassemble the differential case cover and measure the
thickness of fuse.
7. If the backlash exceeds the allowable limit, adjust with shim
(10).
8. Adjust the backlash properly by repeated above procedure.
