Removal and Installation
REMOVAL

CAUTION:
When removing the A/T assembly from engine, first remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the A/T assembly.
Be careful not to damage sensor edge.

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Remove tower bar with power tool.
3. Remove engine under cover with power tool.
4. Remove front cross bar with power tool.
5. Remove exhaust tube with power tool.
6. Remove propeller shaft.

CAUTION: Do not impact, or damage propeller shaft tube.

7. Remove control rod.
8. Disconnect A/T assembly connector.





9. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS) from A/T assembly.

CAUTION:
^ Do not subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
^ Do not disassemble.
^ Do not allow metal filings, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
^ Do not place in an area affected by magnetism.

10. Remove fluid cooler tube and A/T fluid charging pipe.
11. Plug up openings such as the fluid charging pipe hole, etc.
12. Remove air breather hose.
13. Remove starter motor with power tool.
14. Remove dust cover from converter housing part.
15. Turn crankshaft, and remove the four tightening bolts for drive plate and torque converter.

CAUTION: When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.

16. Support transmission assembly with a transmission jack.

CAUTION: When setting the transmission jack, be careful not to allow it to collide against the drain plug.

17. Remove engine rear member with power tool.
18. Remove bolts fixing transmission assembly to engine with power tool.





19. Remove transmission assembly from vehicle with a transmission jack.
^ Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
^ Secure transmission assembly to a transmission jack.

INSPECTION
Installation and inspection of torque converter





^ After inserting a torque converter to a transmission, be sure to check dimension A to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
Dimension A : 25.0 mm (0.98 inch) or more

INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.








^ When installing transmission assembly to the engine, 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.
44 - 58 Nm (4.5 - 5.9 kgf-cm, 33 - 42 ft. lbs.)

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.
^ After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates freely without binding.
^ Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
^ After completing installation, check fluid leakage, fluid level, and the A/T positions of A/T.
