Dismounting and Remounting
Automatic Transmission (with Transfer) Dismounting and RemountingDismounting
In cabin
1) Remove console box.
NOTE: To remove clip, push in its center pin first.
2) Remove boot cover (2) and boot No.2 (1) (if equipped).
3) Remove boot clamp (1) and then remove boot No. 1 (2) from transfer gear shift lever case (if equipped).
4) With transfer shift control case cover (1) pushed down with fingers, turn it to counterclockwise and take out shift control lever (2) (if equipped).
In engine room
1) Remove battery, dipstick and oil filler tube.
2) Disconnect A/T throttle cable (1) from throttle cam and bracket.
3) Remove starter motor. But don't disconnect its wiring harness.
4) Remove transmission to engine bolt and nut.
On lift
1) Remove transfer skid plate (if equipped).
2) Drain transfer oil for 4WD vehicle or A/T fluid for 2WD vehicle.
NOTE: If 4WD automatic transmission is overhauled later on, draining A/T fluid at this point will facilitate work.
3) Before removing propeller shaft, give match marks (1) on joint flange and propeller shaft as shown in figure.
4) Remove universal joint flange bolts and take out rear propeller shaft.
5) Likewise, take out front propeller shaft. (if equipped)
6) Remove nut from the end of select cable and bracket to set cable free.
7) Remove select cable bracket by removing its 2 bolts.
8) Remove exhaust No. 1 and No.2 pipe.
9) Remove transmission stiffener (1) (right side), if equipped.
10) Unclamp and disconnect oil cooler hoses from pipes.
NOTE: To avoid leakage of transmission fluid, plug open ends of oil cooler pipes and hoses right after they are disconnected.
11) Remove torque converter housing lower plate.
12) Holding drive plate stationary with special tool or the like, remove torque converter mounting bolts with wrench.
13) Remove engine to transmission nuts.
14) Disconnect connectors from VSS, output speed sensor, input speed sensor, TR switch, shift & TCC solenoid valves and other electrical parts, and release their wire harness from clamps.
15) Apply transmission jack (1) and take off rear mounting member by removing its bolts.
16) With transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly held up on jack (1), move them to the rear and lower them including torque converter.
WARNING: Transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly may tilt rearward on jack (1). It is recommended to use an auxiliary arm (2) of jack (1) for the purpose of safety.
After dismounting
WARNING: Be sure to keep transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly horizontal throughout the work. Should they be tilted, torque converter may fall off and cause personal injury and A/T fluid may flow out.
1) Remove breather hoses.
2) Remove transfer by removing its bolts, if equipped.
Remounting
WARNING: When moving transmission assembly with torque converter equipped in it, be sure to keep it horizontal. Tilting it with its front facing down may allow converter to fall off, whereby an injury may result.
For remounting, reverse dismounting procedure noting the following points.
^ When remounting drive plate, use specified bolts.
^ Use specified torque as given below.
