When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route lines of all types (for example, fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

- Insert new centering sleeves for centering the transmission to the cylinder block.

- Engage the intermediate plate at the sealing flange and slide it onto the centering sleeves - arrows -.
