Installation

1. Flush the ATF cooler.





2. Install the torque converter securely with a new O-ring on the mainshaft, and install two 14 x 20 mm dowel pins in the torque converter housing.





3. Set the extension shaft, apply Super High Temp Urea Grease to the shaft splines.
4. Remove the used grease, then fill the opening of the drive pinion and extension shaft with Super High Temp Urea Grease, as shown.
5. Place the transmission on a jack, and raise to the engine assembly level.





6. Attach the transmission on the engine, then install the transmission housing mounting bolts.
7. Install the torque converter cover mounting bolt on the torque converter housing side.





8. Install the mid mount spacer and transmission mid mounts while raising the transmission with a jack.





9. Tighten the bolts using an offset wrench and a torque wrench as shown.





NOTE: When tightening the bolts using an offset wrench and a torque wrench, the tightening torque value differs from torque specification according to a torque wrench. Before tightening the bolts, calculate actual torque value by following formula.





10. Install the mid mount nuts.





11. Install the transmission housing mounting bolts and 26 mm shim.





12. Install a new set ring on the extension shaft groove.
13. Install the extension shaft.





14. Fill the opening of the extension shaft and 33 mm sealing bolt with Super High Temp Urea Grease (P/N 08798 - 9002) as shown.
15. Apply liquid gasket to the 33 mm sealing bolt threads.
16. Shift the transmission into the P position by rotating the control shaft.





17. Install the 33 mm sealing bolt.





18. Connect the ATF cooler hoses to the joint pipes.
19. Install the transmission mount bracket and transmission mount.





20. Install the A/T gear position switch harness bracket, then connect the A/T gear position switch connector.
21. Install the shift cable holder on the transmission rear cover.
22. Install the control lever with a new lock washer to the control shaft.

CAUTION: Take care not to bend the shift cable.





23. Install the shift cable cover.
24. Install the exhaust manifold brackets.
25. Install the exhaust pipe A.





26. Install two bolts of the exhaust pipe A stay to the transmission rear cover.





27. Attach the torque converter to the drive plate with eight bolts and torque: Rotate the crankshaft as necessary to tighten the bolts to 1/2 of the specified torque, then to the final torque, in a crisscross pattern. After tightening the last bolt, check that the crankshaft rotates freely.
28. Install the torque converter cover.





29. Install the transmission ground cable.
30. Connect the transmission sub-harness connector.





31. Install the control box, then connect the connector
32. Install the lower heat shield cover.





33. Install the battery base and the upper heat shield.
34. Install the engine ground cable and ignition coil wire on the upper heat shield cover.
33. Connect the ignition coil wire connector.





36. Install the battery and battery hold-down bracket.
37. Refill the transmission with ATF.
38. Connect the battery positive (+) and negative (-) cables to the battery terminals.
39. Set the parking brake. Start the engine, and shift the transmission through all gears three times. Check the shift lever operation and the A/T gear position indicator operation.
40. Let the engine reach operating temperature (the cooling fan comes on) with the transmission in the N or P position, then turn it off and check ATF level.
41. Road test.
42. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter the customer's radio station presets.
