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 dimension (A) to ensure it is within the reference value limit.

Dimension (A) : Refer to TM-272, "Torque Converter". Torque Converter






- When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.











- 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:
