- Before installing the transmission, make sure the alignment sleeves - A - are correctly positioned on the cylinder block; if necessary, install.
- Before rebuilding the transmission, nuts from the catalytic converter with right front muffler to the exhaust manifold - 1, 2, and 3 - should be removed.
• The catalytic converter with right front muffler does not require rebuilding due to the poor accessibility of the heated oxygen sensor, remove only over the studs so that the seals can be replaced.
- Replace seals between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter with right front muffler.
- Place the catalytic converter with right front muffler on the exhaust manifold and loosely screw on the nuts - 1, 2 and 3 -.
- If an intermediate plate between engine and transmission is installed, re-install it in the same position.
- Before connecting the engine and transmission, turn torque converter and engine drive plate so that one hole and one threaded hole are at the level of the removed starter opening.
- Ensure no lines are kinked when sliding engine and transmission together.
- Attach the transmission to the engine.
• The tightening specifications apply only to lightly greased, oiled, phosphated or blackened nuts and bolts.
• Additional lubricant such as engine or gear oil may be used, but do not use lubricants that contain graphite.
• Do not use any ungreased parts.
• Tightening specification tolerance: 15%.
- Replace seals between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter with left front muffler.
- Install the catalytic converter with left and right front muffler.
- Insert the guide pin on (T40058) so that large diameter - arrow 1 - faces toward engine. The small diameter - arrow 2 - faces the adapter.
- Counter hold the crankshaft with the (T40058) and loosen the torque converter bolts.
• Ignore - arrow -.
- Always use new, original bolts to secure the torque converter to the drive plate.
- Install the six bolts - arrows - for the torque converter into the opening in the starter hand-tight (turn the crankshaft 1/3 turn each time).
- Tighten the bolts for the torque converter to the tightening specification (turn the crankshaft 1/3 turn each time).
- Install starter.
Tag the ATF cooling hoses to avoid mix-ups when re-installing. Refer to => [ ATF Cooling Lines Overview ] Service and Repair.
- Connect the ATF cooling hoses on the ATF cooler and remove the (3094).
