NEED ASAP FSM for RX trans with locking center diff

Featured Replies

Hey guys, I need a FSM for an RX tranny with the center diff lock. Specifically I need torque specs, and what kind of sealant to use on the case and such. If you have one you could sell me or let me borrow, let me know how much you want please. It needs to be for an 87-89 RX. Thanks!

For the case halves it's going to call for a variant of 3-bond which you probably won't be able to source. It's a japanese brand of RTV but for flanged mating surfaces like these I prefer an anerobic sealant such as loctite 515 or 518.

 

What do you need torque specs for? I don't have an FSM for the RX tranny specifically but I do have some that cover various transaxles. There isn't a lot inside these that requires super exact torque - no mechanical locks or gasket crush that I've seen. You should be able to use a standard torque table for the size/pitch of the threads you are working with. Any machinists handbook will have these.

Part 1 & 2 of the EA82 FSM. I believe the breakdown on a FT4WD 5spd is in there somewhere.

 

Thanks Brian, except that whoever scanned those skipped over Section 3 (the transmission section) and went straight to Section 6. FTMFL.
