2. Install the SST to the main shaft.






WARNING:
- Install the transmission carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.

3. Place the transmission on the transmission jack and raise it.






NOTE:
- Slowly rotate the SST to engage the clutch with the main drive gear spline, and install the transmission.

4. Install the transmission.

5. Tighten the transmission installation bolts and nuts.






Tightening torque
- 37-52 Nm {3.8-5.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft-lbf}

Power Plant Frame Installation Note

1. Support the transmission using a transmission jack.






2. Install the power plant frame.

3. Temporarily tighten the nuts 1, 2, 3 in order shown in the figure.






4. Tighten nut 2 until the power plant frame is seated in the rear differential.

5. Temporarily tighten the nuts 4, 5 in order shown in the figure.

6. Install the catalytic converter, middle pipe and tunnel member.

7. Raise the front end of the power plant frame (transmission side) or the transmission with the transmission jack, and adjust dimension A to 26.7-34.7 mm {1.06-1.36 in} (lower surface of power plant frame-upper surface of the tunnel member) as shown in the figure.






8. Tighten the nuts on the rear differential side in the order shown in the figure.






Tightening torque
- 126.0-154.0 N.m {12.9-15.7 kgf-m, 93.0-113 ft-lbf}

9. Tighten the nuts on the transmission side in the order shown in the figure.






Tightening torque
- 126.0-154.0 N.m {12.9-15.7 kgf-m, 93.0-113 ft-lbf}

10. Verify that dimension A is within the specification with the transmission jack removed.

- If it is not within the specification, adjust dimension A again.

Standard dimension A
- 26.7-34.7 mm {1.06-1.36 in}

Shift Lever Component Installation Note

NOTE:
- If the extension housing has been removed or the transmission has been disassembled and inspected, always add the specified type and amount of transmission oil.

1. Add the specified type and amount of oil to the shift control case.






Shift control case specified oil grade
- API Service GL-4 or GL-5

Shift control case specified oil viscosity
- SAE 75W-90

Shift control case capacity (approx. quantity)
- 290-330 ml {290-330 cc, 17.69-20.13 cu in}

2. Apply grease to the areas of the shift lever component as shown in the figure.






3. Align the shift lever component notch with the shift control case pin and install the shift lever component.
