How much does it cost to replace rear differential gears?

How much does it cost to replace rear differential gears?

A typical rear differential repair costs anywhere between $200 and $400. These typical repairs would include your bearing, seals, and fluid changes. Of course, when a gear change is required, that’s when things get pricey. $1,500 is just the minimum you can expect to pay for new gears.

Why is analysis of differential crown gear and pinion important?

Thus, the analysis of such crown gear and pinion makes necessity for strength. The analysis is conducted to verify the best material for the gears in the gear box at high speeds by analyzing von miss stress, deformation and also by considering safety of transmission.

Which is the correct Shim for Pinion position?

Pinion position shim correct. Increase backlash. (1) Decreasing backlash moves the ring gear closer to the pinion. Drive pattern (convex side of gear) moves slightly lower and toward the toe. Coast pattern (concave side of gear) moves lower and toward the toe. (2) Increasing backlash moves the ring gear away from the pinion.

Where can I find differential ring and pinion?

You can also find links to our differential ring and pinion by application data that provide a detailed list of differential components for the most popular differentials, the links are listed below the instruction set. Be sure to ask about our speciality fluids for your differential, we also offer pois fluid.

Which is a part of the differential transmission system?

The two main parts of differential transmission system, one is crown gear which gives allowable speed to turn the vehicle and another is pinion which provides allowable speed and torque for turning the vehicle. Thus, the analysis of such crown gear and pinion makes necessity for strength.

What happens if a pinion seal fails on a differential?

As long as the pinion seal is in place and performing well, the differential will stay in good shape and operate as it is supposed to. A failed pinion seal can result in a minor leak where fluid seeps out, or a major leak that can ruin the differential bearings and gears.

How is a pinion shaft related to a gear train?

The shaft transfers the input of a drive shaft or crank to the rest of the gears to produce the work for which the gear train is designed. A pinion shaft can transfer this drive motion to a linear gear assembly or to a right angle bevel gear set, such as a vehicle differential.

When do you need to replace pinion gear bearings?

Just torque the pinion nut to 150 foot pounds and see if that fixes it. It’s very common for the pinion nut to back off and most of the time torquing the nut is all you need to do. If you do this and you have a noise in the rear end then you may need to replace bearings.

When to call for Pinion yokes and flanges?

At West Coast Differentials. we typically stock yokes and flanges for the differential (pinion) end of the driveshaft. Our specialty is Gear & Axle Parts. As a result, we rarely stock yokes for the transmission or transfer case end. Call before 4 PM and most Pinion Yokes will ship out the SAME DAY!
