Honda HR-V: CVT Differential Backlash Inspection (CVT)
Inspection
1. Differential Backlash - Inspect
- Install both axles into the differential, then place the axles on
V-blocks (A)
- Check the backlash of the pinion gears (B) using a dial indicator (C).
Standard: 0.05-0.15 mm (0.0020-0.0059 in)
- If the backlash is out of the standard, replace the differential
carrier.
CVT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER BEARING PRELOAD INSPECTION (CVT)
Special Tools Required
Preload Inspection Tool 070AJ-5T0A100
Bearing Driver Attachment, 62 x 68 mm 07746-0010500
Driver Handle, 15 x 135L 07749-0010000
Inspection
NOTE:
- If the transmission housing, the torque converter housing, the
differential carrier, the carrier bearing/bearing outer race, or the thrust
shim is replaced, the bearing preload must be adjusted.
- Apply a light coat of clean transmission fluid on all parts before
installation.
1. Carrier Bearing Preload - Inspect
- Remove the carrier bearing outer race (A), the 68 mm thrust shim (B),
and the oil
guide plate (C) by heating the torque converter housing to about 212 ºF
(100 ºC)
using a heat gun (D).
NOTE:
- Do not heat the torque converter housing more than 212 ºF (100 ºC).
- Let the torque converter housing cool to room temperature before
adjusting the
bearing preload.
- Install the carrier bearing outer race (A), the 68 mm thrust shim (B),
and the oil
guide plate (C).
- Drive the carrier bearing outer race (A) until it bottoms using the 15 x
135L driver
handle and the 62 x 68 mm bearing driver attachment.
- Install the differential assembly (A).

Fig. 2: Torque Converter Housing With Torque Specifications (AWD)
- Install the torque converter housing (A) with the dowel pins (B), and
tighten the
bolts in a crisscross pattern in at least two steps.
- Install the preload inspection tool
- Press the preload inspection tool gradually by tightening the bolt (A)
and fix it.
- Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the
bearings.
- Measure the starting torque of the differential assembly using the
preload inspection tool, a torque wrench (A), and a socket (B).
NOTE: Measure the starting torque at normal room temperature in both
directions.
Standard:
New Bearing: 1.25-1.65 N.m (12.7-16.8 kgf.cm, 11.0-14.6 lbf.in)
Reused Bearing: 0.95-1.35 N.m (9.7-13.8 kgf.cm, 8.4-11.9 lbf.in)
- If the measurement is out of the standard, remove the 68 mm thrust shim,
and measure its thickness, then select a suitable 68 mm thrust shim.
NOTE:
- To increase the starting torque, increase thickness of the 68 mm thrust
shim.
- To decrease the starting torque, decrease the thickness of the 68 mm
thrust shim.
- Do not use more than two thrust shims to adjust the starting torque.
