Rear Differential Assembly: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- To prevent silicone sealant from hardening, adhere the rear cover to the differential carrier within 3 min after silicone sealant is applied.
- Allow the sealant to set at least 30 min or more after installation before filling the differential with differential oil.
- Assemble in the order indicated in the table.
