Transmission Installation
Transmission Installation1. Flush the ATF cooler.
2. Install the starter (A) on the torque converter housing (B).
3. Install the torque converter assembly (c) on the mainshaft (D) with a new O-ring (E).
4. Install the 14 mm dowel pins (F) in the torque converter housing.
5. Place the transmission on a jack, and raise it to the engine level.
6. Attach the transmission to the engine, then install the rear mount/bracket (A) with the mount/bracket bolts (B) and the transmission housing mounting bolt (C).
7. Install the transmission housing mounting bolts.
8. Install the transmission mount bracket (A). Tighten the bolt (B) loosely, and tighten the nuts (C) to the specified torque, then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
9. Install new set rings (A) on the left and right driveshafts (B).
10. Install the right and left driveshafts. While installing the driveshafts in the differential, be sure not to allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the transmission.
NOTE:
^ Clean the areas where the driveshafts contact the transmission (differential) with solvent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed air.
^ Turn the right and left steering knuckle fully outward, and slide the driveshafts into the differential until you feel its set ring engage the side gear.
11. Support the subframe (A) with the special tool, and lift it up to the body.
12. Loosely install the four subframe mounting bolts (A) and the 10 x 1.25 mm bolts (B).
13. Align the reference marks (A) with the center of the bolt heads (B), then tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
14. Install the rear mount bolts.
15. Remove the transmission jack from the transmission.
16. Attach the torque converter to the drive plate (A) with eight bolts (B). Rotate the crankshaft pulley as necessary to tighten the bolts to 1/2 of the specified torque, then to the final torque, in a crisscross pattern. After installing the last bolt, check that the crankshaft rotates freely.
17. Install the torque converter cover (c) and engine stiffeners (D).
18. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt as necessary.
19. Install the control lever (A) with the shin cable (B) on the control shah- (C). Do not bend the shim cable excessively.
20. Secure the shin cable holder (D) with the bolts on the transmission.
21. Install the lock bolt (E) with a new lock washer (F), then bend the lock washer tab against the bolt head.
22. Install the shin cable covers (G).
23. Connect the ball joints (A) to the lower arms (B), and install the castle nuts (C) and spring clips (D).
24. Connect the ball joint pins (E) to the lower arms, and install the nuts (F). Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench (G) in the top of the ball joint pins, and tighten the nuts.
25. Install the exhaust pipe A (D17A2 engine model) or exhaust pipe B (D17A1 engine, not shown).
26. Connect the secondary H02S connector, and install the harness on its clamp.
27. Install the splash shield.
28. Install the front mount (A). Tighten the mount bolt (B) loosely, and tighten the mounting bolts (C) to the specified torque, then tighten the mount bolt to the specified torque.
29. Connect the primary HO2S connector (D), and install it on its bracket (E). Install the harness (F) on its clamp (G).
30. Remove the engine hanger and the special tool from the engine.
31. Connect the connectors to the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. shin solenoid valves A and B (c), and countershaft speed sensor (D), then install the harness clamps on the clamp brackets.
32. Connect the ATF cooler hoses (A) to the ATF cooler lines (B).
33. Connect the transmission range switch connector (A), and install it on its bracket (B). Install the harness clamp on the clamp bracket.
34. Install the VSS connector (c), then install the harness clamp on the clamp bracket.
35. Connect the mainshaft speed sensor connector (A), and install the harness clamp (B) on the clamp bracket (C).
36. Connect the torque converter clutch solenoid valve connector (A), then install the harness clamp on the transmission hanger.
37. Install the transmission ground cable (B).
38. Connect the starter cables (A) to the starter (B), and install the harness clamp on the clamp bracket. Make sure the crimped side of the starter cable ring terminal is facing out.
39. Install the battery base, then install the harness clamp on the battery base.
40. Install the resonator and intake air duct.
41. Refill the transmission with ATF.
42. Install the battery tray and battery, then secure the battery with its hold-down bracket.
43. Connect the battery positive terminal, then connect the negative terminal.
44. Set the parking brake. Start the engine, and shin the transmission through all gears three times.
45. Check the shift lever operation, A/T gear position indicator operation, and shut cable adjustment.
46. Check and adjust the front wheel alignment.
47. Start the engine and let it reach normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on) with the transmission in the P or N position, then turn if off and check the ATF level.
48. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
49. Perform a road test.
50. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter the radio station presets, and set the clock.
