Transmission
1. Support the transmission with a transmission jack.
2. Remove the engine rear mounting rubber nuts (1) from the transmission (2).
3. Remove the rear mounting rubber bracket (3) with the mounting rubber (4) from the No.3 crossmember (5)
4. Remove the quadrant box from the transmission.
5. Remove the transmission from the engine.
The removal of the transmission will require the cooperative efforts of two mechanics.
1. Remove the transmission nuts and bolts (1) from the engine rear plate.
2. Place a transmission jack (2) under the transmission.
Do not raise the transmission jack.
3. Manually move the transmission as far as possible toward the rear of the vehicle (into the space between the No. 3 crossmember (3) and the floor panel (4)
4. Lower the clutch housing end of the transmission toward the transmission jack.
The rear of the transmission is supported by the No.3 crossmember at this time.
6. Carefully pull the transmission jack with the transmission from beneath the vehicle.
Important Operations - Installation
