Installation




- Drive plate runout

CAUTION: Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the ring gear teeth.

Maximum allowable runout:

If this runout is out of allowance, replace drive plate with ring gear.




- When connecting torque converter to transmission, measure distance "A" to be certain that they are correctly assembled.

Distance "A":
RE4R01A 26.0 mm (1.024 in) or more
RE4R03A 25.0 mm (0.964 in) or more

- Install converter to drive plate.
- Reinstall any part removed.
- With converter installed, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle rotates freely without binding.

- Tighten bolts securing transmission.

RE4R01A:

RE4R01A

RE4R03A:

RE4R03A




- Reinstall any part removed.
- Check fluid level in transmission.
- Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that transmission operates correctly.
With parking brake applied, rotate engine at idling. Move selector lever through "N" to "D", to "2", to "1" and to "R". A slight shock should be felt by hand gripping selector each time transmission is shifted.

- Perform road test.
