Differentials

There are three ways to find a gear ratio.

1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.

2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement

info.

3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.

There are several types of oil leak sealant for a 1992 Honda Accord. A few of the sealants that can be used are Bar Leak's seal repair, Lucas Oil, and Blue Devil oil leak sealant.

There is no specific pinion nut torque. The pinion nut has to be tightened until the proper pinion preload is established. Pinion preload is what matters

It is GL-5 and the weight is 80/90 gear oil.

how do you remove the transmission and cv axles on a 2004 kia rio ?

Go with Mobil Synthetic Gear Lubricant (LS) 75w-90

There are four ways to find a ratio.

1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.

2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement

info.

3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.

4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion.

if its whiny gears, banana skins,, seriously,, but it wont last long, & its not really that good for the diff.

if its bearings,, lots of grease, but again, only a very temporary fix!

if its the gears, they need to be re-hardened, its often cheaper to get a second hand diff head. or new gears.

if its the bearings, replace them.

Should be 1 1/8..

Simply by jacking both rear wheels off the ground,put it in neutral,handbrake off, and chock the front wheels, and then turn the rear wheel 10 revolutions, and count the number of revolutions the tailshaft makes. For example, if it makes almost 38 revolutions, the diff ratio is 3.78:1. Alternatively, If the diff is out and you can't find a ratio stamped on it,count the teeth on the crownwheel and pinion gears, and calculate the ratio from this.

with the axles out and differential installed add gear lube while you look down the axle tube until it just starts to flow down the tube

This is from the 1987 Ford Econoline Do-it yourself manual FBS-12090-87. Rear Differential with a removable rear cover is 8.8 inch and a non-removable cover is 9 inch.

You must first remove the rear suspension assembly. It's simplest to disconnect the exhaust system at the 3-pointed flange nearest the front of the suspension cage and remove the subframe with the rest of the exhaust still in place through the cage. Disconnect the brake hose, handbrake cable and propshaft bolts on the differential. Very important: Remove the speedo sensor on the back of the diff (difficult) or disconnect cable (under rear seat) and feed cable back out through hole in floor). Support rear subframe on a big jack with spreader (assuming you already have the car on high axle stands or a lift) and undo the 8 bolts securing the 4 rubber subframe mounts. (You will of course have removed the rear wheels, and you'll see the mounts attached to the chassis member). And out she drops. Then to remove the diff you'll need to disconnect the half shafts, the inner fulcrum bearings mounts and then the four wired bolts in the top.

4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.

Pretty serious if it is leaking badly. Depending on different models of vehicle rear differentials, are very expensive to repair and replace. Honestly, if you are mechanically inclined you can grab yourself a gasket and your specified differential fluid at your local autoparts store. Gaskets are usually $8-$20, and the fluid runs from $2.99-$4.99 per quart regular fluid. Make sure you know if your rear end has a limited slip, as special fluid is needed.

It is the gear reduction that happens in the axle. With a 4.10 the pinion turns 4.1 times for every turn of the ring gear. The driveshaft is attached to the pinion and the ring gear turns the axle shafts, Which turn the wheels.

If it's the factory rear, you need to use some sort of vacuum pump to suck the old fluid out, since there is no drain plug on the 55 rears. You then add fluid at the fill plug on the rear of the axle housing until it runs out of the hole. Use 75-90 for light applications, or 80-90, possible higher for heavy duty applications like racing. If you have a posi rear, be sure to use some posi additive.

it depends on if you want speed or torqe. if you want speed you want a larger gear on the motor and a small gear on the axel, if you want torqe it's the opposite.i would recommend a 3 to 1 ratio 3 being the bigger geasr as it isn't to fast or to slow

Yes. I own a 1993. Stock they have a locking diff that only works in super low, but if you remove a pin from the 2wd/4wd gear selector they have a locking differential in every gear of the subtransmission

I also have diff noise in my VX SS, it sounds like bearings to me, maybe wrong. A diff specialist in Brisbane said about $800 if it is bearings, plus a complete service. I am looking for a good second hand diff, they are around $450.

Shift into two-wheel high then turn the wheel locks to the free position. If you have automatic locking hubs, come to a full stop and hold the clutch in, if a manual, then shift to two-wheel high. Put the transmission in gear and roll seven feet backwards.

Airways are for planes, waterways are for boats.

it could but is not likely to the transfer case transfers power to the front diff, not the rear
