Removal Procedure





1. Remove the shift control knob.





2. Remove the sound insulator foam block from the console.





3. Remove the bolts (2) securing the shift control assembly to the shift control adapter plate.
4. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.





5. Remove the exhaust system.





6. Remove the propeller shaft (6).
7. Support the transmission with a suitable jack.





8. Remove the transmission support.
9. Lower the transmission assembly to gain access to the top of the transmission.





10. Remove the shift control assembly from the transmission. Remove the shift control assembly from the vehicle.
11. Disconnect the following electrical connectors:
^ Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
^ Backup lamp switch
^ Vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
^ Reverse lockout solenoid
^ Gear select/skip shift solenoid
^ Oxygen sensor wiring harness





12. Remove the bolts securing the transmission to the clutch housing.
13. Carefully separate the transmission approximately 3.8 LC (1.5 inches) from the clutch housing.





14. Remove the bolts (1, 2) securing the concentric slave cylinder to the transmission. Graphic shows transmission removed for clarity. Additional clearance between the transmission and clutch housing may be achieved by continuing to separate the transmission from the clutch housing as the bolts are being removed.





15. Remove the transmission. Ensure that the concentric slave cylinder does not bind on the input shaft during removal.

Installation Procedure





1. Partially install the transmission until the concentric slave cylinder bolts can be installed.





2. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Install the concentric slave cylinder bolts (1, 2). Graphic shows transmission removed for clarity.

Tighten the concentric slave cylinder bolts to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).

3. Install the transmission until flush with the clutch housing.





4. Tighten the transmission to the clutch housing bolts.

Tighten the transmission to clutch housing bolts to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.).
