4. Adjust the drive pinion and hypoid driven gear backlash.  Front Differential Assembly > ADJUSTMENT">
5. Using the ST, remove the drive pinion retainer from converter case.

6. Apply lead-free red dye evenly on the both sides of three to four teeth of the hypoid driven gear. Then install the drive pinion retainer and rotate the drive pinion in both directions several times. Remove the drive pinion retainer and check the tooth contact pattern.
If the teeth contact is inappropriate, adjust the backlash or thickness of the shim.  Front Differential Assembly > ADJUSTMENT">
NOTE:
After correction, wipe off the lead-free red dye.

• Correct tooth contact
Check item: Tooth contact surface is slightly shifted toward the toe side under a no-load condition. (When driving, it moves towards the heel side.)

| (B) | Heel side | 
• Face contact
Check item: Backlash is too large.
Contact pattern

Corrective action: Increase thickness of drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion close to hypoid driven gear.

• Flank contact
Check item: Backlash is too small.
Contact pattern

Corrective action: Reduce the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion away from the hypoid driven gear.

• Toe contact (inside contact)
Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.
Contact pattern

Corrective action: Reduce the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion away from the hypoid driven gear side.

• Heel contact (outside end contact)
Check item: Teeth contact area is too small.
Contact pattern

Corrective action: Increase the thickness of the drive pinion shim according to the procedures for moving the drive pinion closer to the hypoid driven gear.

7. Using the ST, loosen the differential side retainer until the mounting groove of the O-ring appears, and then install the O-ring.
NOTE:
• When loosening the differential side retainer, record the number of the turns made.
• Perform this for both left and right differential side retainers.
• Use new O-rings.
• Apply the differential gear oil to O-ring.
