Differential assembly starting torque

Install differential assembly (1) to transaxle case and tighten case bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque

Transaxle housing bolts: 30 N.m (3.0 kg-m, 22 lb-ft)
Measure differential assembly starting torque, using special tool. If starting torque exceeds specified value, replace shim in the following so as starting torque to be in standard value.
Starting torque of differential assembly

0.7 - 1.2 N.m (0.07 - 0.12 kg-m, 0.506 - 0.868 lb-ft)

Special tool

(A): 09928-06020
