DIFFERENTIAL BACKLASH

[pajerokid]

alfred::: ano effect pag nag 140 ako na oil? :?:

[pajerokid]

Have you peeps experienced that knocking sound whenever you release the clutch? :?: Say hello to diff backlash! :D

Anyway, what is one supposed to do to rectify this situation, short of replacing the rear diff :?:

Both my RAV4 (SX) and Paj show symptoms of this.

As always, comments and ideas are greatly appreciated :wink:

Yup, nangyari na sa akin ang ganyan with my old Sentra Series 2. While driving sa expressway nag-knock then clash ang gears. Nag-leak pala tranmission oil ko at iyon kumatok transmission. Palit kami bago ng time na iyon. Check mo transmission/gear oil level mo baka mababa or you may need to change it. I hope this helps. Goodluck.

thanks! im thinking of changing the gear oil to 140 viscosity from 90. Ok kaya?

[roydok]

Maganda din ang less viscosity oil for smoother shifting.

Check your crossjoints first. Your rides are relatively new. Unless you always drive like a rabbit. Keep your gear oil at 90. :mrgreen:

[roydok]

Nadinig ko sa ilan na medyo daw stiff ng kaunti ang shifting. Pero I doubt this.

[pajerokid]

if thats true then k siguro thicker oil for diffs which are rather worn out, dont you thnk? :D

[pajerokid]

update lang:::

To my pleasant surprise, the sound i was hearing WASNT backlash! :shock::shock::shock: During my overhaul, the clutch was found missing a spring and was therefore replaced. Hayun!!! Nawala ang tunog :D:D:D

Now if only the same can be done to out RAV...... (this ones definitely backlash )

[afrasay]

Thicker oil means heavier load. Like comparing evaporated and condensed milk.:wink:

Alfred::: pare kaya kaya ni Ferdie mag diff overhaul? yung i-re-realign yung gears? Balak ko sanag ipa-ayos yung rav4 e.

[afrasay]

Di pa siguro diff yan. Your RAV is not even 5yrs. old. Full time 4WD yan di ba? So maraming puwedeng panggalingan ng backlash. Yun na-overhaul namin ay the usual RWD lang. Adjustment lang or pag putol ang ehe. Looks like Casa ang punta mo (not the one in Ongpin, ha:mrgreen

[pajerokid]

alfred::: nyehehehhe!

Differential itself o differential oil?

Pwede DIY ang pag palit ng differential oil. Drain plug/ and fill plug lang ang tatanggalin. Pag na drain na lahat ng oil, ibalik lang yung drain plug then punoin mo ng differential oil hanggang sa level ng fill plug(tutulo pag umabot na sa level). Then balik mo yung fill plug.

Differential mismo sir. Wala kasi akong jack stands. Kung sisilipin parang kaya naman tangalin, pero para sigurado sa my alam na. Baka my idea ka sir mga magkano inaabot ang ganitong labor? Thanks.
