MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL(5MT) > Drive Pinion Shaft Assembly

INSPECTION

Disassembled parts should be washed clean first and then inspected carefully.

1. Bearing

Replace the bearings in the following cases.

If the ball bearing, outer race or inner race is damaged or rusted

In case of worn or damaged bearings

In the case that the bearing fails to turn smoothly or makes an abnormal noise when turned, even after gear oil lubrication.

The roller bearing on the rear side of the drive pinion shaft should be checked for smooth rotation before the drive pinion assembly is disassembled. In this case, because a preload is working on the bearing, its rotation feels like it is slightly dragging unlike other bearings.
