Installing

Installing

Installation of transmission is the reverse of removal. The following points must also be observed:

Before installing:
- Clean threads in drive shaft flange using a tap.
- Clean ATF lines.
- Insert torque converter in transmission
- Make sure bushings are correctly seated.

Note: If the bushings get stuck in the transmission housing, they must be removed and new bushings must be installed on the engine.

For 2.7L 5V turbo engines





Item A = bushings





- Position 3282 transmission support.
Use 3282/19 adjustment plate to position the 3282 transmission support for Automatic Transmission 01V.
The symbols on the adjustment plate indicate the necessary mounts and the arrow points toward front of vehicle.
- Place transmission onto transmission support.





- Secure transmission on 3282 transmission support using bolt -A-.
- Move transmission into position between the lowered subframe and vehicle floor.
The subframe is lowered approximately 150 mm at rear for this step.
- Align transmission properly to engine.





- Press the lever/shift rod -2- at transmission completely toward rear (toward right in illustration) until park position is engaged.
- Shift selector lever into "P" and carefully press up ball head of selector lever cable on lever/shift rod -2- using a pair of pliers.

Note: Do not deform lever/shift rod when pressing up or else shifting cannot be precisely adjusted any more.

Note:
^ Place intermediate plate onto bushings.
^ Make sure that wires do not get pinched as transmission is docked at engine.

- Install connecting bolts for engine/transmission.

Note: Some bolts also have a bracket or a Ground (GND) connection attached.





- Install bolts of torque converter through opening -A- in engine flange to the clutch disc (turn crankshaft 1/3 rotation each time).
- Insert plug into opening -A- in engine flange.
- Install subframe, observe tightening sequence and alignment with master bore hole.
- Only perform vehicle alignment if necessary.
- Install transmission supports at left and right with transmission bearing





- Remove bolt -A- after transmission is bolted to engine.
- Apply corrosion protection to contact surface between bolt -A- and oil pan.
- Bolt on ATF lines
- Bolt drive axles to transmission flanges.
- Bolt drive shaft to transmission flange
- After connecting battery, enter anti-theft code for radio.
- Check adjustment of selector lever cable.
- Check transmission fluid in final drive with transmission installed.
- Then check ATF level and top off.
- Fully close power windows to stop.
- Then activate all power window switches ("up") for at least one second to activate automatic window raising/lowering.
- Set clock to correct time.
