INSPECTION

Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter





- After inserting a torque converter to a transmission, be sure to check distance A to ensure it is within specifications.

Distance A : 24.0 mm (0.94 in) or more


INSTALLATION
Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following:
- When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in the order as shown.

Transmission to engine bolts : 113 Nm (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)


CAUTION:





- When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly during re-assembly.
- Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.

NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.





- Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then tighten the bolts with the specified torque. Automatic Transmission.

CAUTION:
- When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
- 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 positions of A/T. Checking, Checking of A/T Position and TM-164, "Adjustment of A/T Position".
