BAG A
TRANSMISSION
We’ve got all the parts in front of us, so let’s build the tranny.
BALL DIFFERENTIAL
The SC10 diff uses metric outdrives and the X Factory 4-Gear transmission uses
the U.S. measurement, so we’ll re-build the whole thing now.
A1)
Hold the outdrive with the T-nut (AE6575) in one hand and insert the Allen
driver through the white protector cap (AE6575) and into the head of the
diff thrust bolt (AE6573). Unscrew the bolt. Use the T-nut to push the bolt
through the diff and out. The white cap will come with it; set it aside for re-
use. Make sure the thrust bearing stays on the diff bolt – and don’t lose
any of the six little balls! Take the thrust balls (AE6574) and washers
(AE6573) off the bolt. Clean the balls, washers, and bolt, and set them all
aside with the cap
.
A2)
Take the rest of the diff apart. Be
sure to remove the T-nut and spring
(AE6582) from the male outdrive.
One diff bearing (XF 6204) should
stay in the diff gear. The other may
fall out or it may stay in the female
outdrive. Whatever…
A3)
Remove the 12 diff balls (XF6500) and bearing
from the gear (AE7664). Clean the balls and
gear and set them aside to air dry. Clean and
re-lube the two diff bearings, using just a drop of
good bearing oil. Set the spring and T-nut aside
with the gear, balls, and bearings. This leaves
the outdrives in front of you. Remove the diff
rings and clean them. Our second diff bearing
wanted to stay in the outdrive, so we removed it
now. The rings will be used in step A4 below. Metric outdrives can be
discarded.
