A/T Differential Backlash Inspection

A/T Differential Backlash Inspection

1. Install the driveshaft and intermediate shaft into the differential assembly.

2. Carefully clamp the driveshaft (A) in a vise (B).

3. Place the intermediate shaft (C) on a V-block (D), then hold the intermediate shaft with locking pliers (E).

4. Measure backlash of the final driven gear (F) with a dial indicator (G). If the backlash is not within the standard, replace the differential carrier.
