INSTALLATION
Note the following, and Install in the reverse order of removal.
^ When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, be sure to check distance (A) to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
B: Scale
C: Straightedge
Distance (A): Refer to TM-270, "Torque Converter". Torque Converter
^ When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.
A: View from vehicle front
(^): Transmission to engine
(X): Engine to transmission
^ Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then, tighten the bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:
^ When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
^ When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque converter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to EM-50, "Exploded View".
^ Rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding after converter is installed to drive plate.
^ Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
AWD: Inspection
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check the following item after completing installation.
^ A/T fluid leakage and A/T fluid level. Refer to TM-141, "Inspection". Procedures
^ A/T position. Refer to TM-153, "AWD: Inspection and Adjustment". Testing and Inspection
