DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
o Once wheel (tire) on one side got stuck
in mud, sand, etc. and started slipping,
do not drive wheels at high speed. lt
would allow stucked wheel to go down
deeper and cause excessive wear to clutch
of LSD.
o Be sure to use only specified gear oil for
LSD.
o Change LSD oil at specified interval.
WARNlNG:
Do not drive wheel(s) (tire) when wheel on
one side is jacked up (i.e., jacked wheel off
i ttre ground but wheel on the other side on
I ,n" ground). Vehicle may start in motion.

ON VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE SERVICE
When checking level of LSD oil or changing it,
use the same manner as conventional type dif-
ferential except specif ic type of oil as given below.
For check interval and practical procedures,
rcfcr tO SECTION OB Of "VITARA SERVICE
MANUAL".
NOTE:
o lt is absolutely necessary to use LSD gear oil
for LSD.
o Use of 80W-90 LSD gear oil is recommended
when it is anticipated that ambient tempera-
ture goes down below 0"C (32"F) depending
on area or season.

1 . Check that match mark is stamped on each
differential case (right and left). lf not, put
such marks. (Refer to Fig. 7E-4.\
2. Loosen differential case screws by turns
evenly and a little at a time.
NOTE:
When it is hard to loosen screws, try loosening
thern while aoplying pressure (no more than
400 kg, 882 lb) to cases by using special tool
and hydraulic press.
Note that applied pressure should never exceed
400 kg (882 lb).

Plates, Shims and Pressure Rings
o Each plate and shim has either 4 (outside) or
6 (inside) lugs. Check them for crack, nick
and any other damage' lf nick is found, correct
it with oil stone. Replace part with uncorrect-
able nick or any other defect with new one'
o Check rubbing or sliding surface of each plate
and shim for excessive wear and faulty condi-
tion caused by heat such as discoloration.
lf discoloration or excessive wear is noted,
replace with new Part.
o Check sliding surface of pressure ring against
outer plate for nick and damage. Try to correct
defective part by using oilstone and compound
on surface plate. lf uncorrectable, replace
with new part.
NOTE:
There may be a sign as if something had struck
hard on inside of rubbing or sliding surface of
each plate, shim and pressure ring' As it is
caused by spring force of shims, do not take it
as abnormal wear.

REASSEMBLING OF LSD CASE
ASSEMBLY
1. Before installing parts in differential case,
measure them and check clearance between
outer shim and differential case as described
below and then adjust it as necessary.
1) Take measurements "A", "B" and "C" of
differential case (right and left) and obtain
dimension "D" by using equation given
below.
'D" =" A" + "8" - "C"

7E.8 DIFFERENTIAL
2) Put inner and outer shims (one each on the
same side) or outer shims together as shown
below and measure thickness "E" of each
set (right and left) by using micrometer.
Then comparing thickness of both sets,
meke their difference as small as possible
by selecting shims.
NOTE:
One new shim (whether outer or inner) is 1.7 mm
(0,067 in.) thick. Use this data as referencewhen
using new one.
3) Put inner and outer plates (one each on the
same side) together as shown below and
measure thickness of each set (right and
left) by using micrometer.
Then comparing thickness of both sets,
select inner and outer plates combination
so that their thickness difference is within
fol lowing specification.
NOTE:
o There are two types of plate (whether inner
or outer); one is 1.7 mm (0.067 in.) thick and
the other 1.8 mm (0.071 in.). Use these data
as reference when using new plate.
o There is no difference between both sides of
each plate.
Thickness difference STD
between right and I O - 0.05 mm
left sets I tO - 0.002 in.)
Fis.7E-13
4) lnstall pressure rings, differential pinion
shaft, pinions, side gears and plates as shown
below and measure width "F". Then add
"F" and "E" (thickness of inner and outer
shims together) on both sides. Sum is dimen-
sion "G".
NOTE:
r When taking measurement "F", make sure
that V-shaped groove in pressure ring is in
close contact with pinion shaft.
o For accurate measurement, check to make
sure no oil is on each part.
