Manual Shaft Lever Component Removal Note
1. Mark the manual shaft lever component as shown in the figure.
2. Remove the manual shaft lever component installation nut.
Torque Converter Installation Nuts Removal Note
1. Lock the drive plate using a flathead screwdriver as shown in the figure.
2. Remove the torque converter installation nuts using a SST.
NOTE:
- After separate the transmission from engine, remove the driven plate.
3. Loosen the driven plate installation bolts.
Power Plant Frame Removal Note
1. Support the transmission using a transmission jack.
2. Remove the power plant frame.
Transmission Removal Note
WARNING:
- Verify that the transmission is securely supported by the jack. If the transmission falls, serious injury or death and damage to the vehicle could result. Before removing the transmission make sure that the jack is securely supporting the transmission.
CAUTION:
- To prevent the torque converter and transmission from separating, remove the transmission without tilting it toward the torque converter.
1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.
2. Remove the transmission installation bolt.
Transmission Installation Note
WARNING:
- Verify that the transmission is securely supported by the jack. If the transmission falls, serious injury or death and damage to the vehicle could result. Before removing the transmission make sure that the jack is securely supporting the transmission.
CAUTION:
- To prevent the torque converter and transmission from separating, remove the transmission without tilting it toward the torque converter
1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.
CAUTION:
- When install the new transmission, remove the holder with a bolt as shown in the figure.
2. Install the driven plate to the transmission (torque converter), and temporarily tighten.
3. Tighten the transmission mounting bolts.
Bolt length
- A: 55 mm {2.2 in}
- B: 70 mm {2.8 in}
Tightening torque
- 37-52 Nm {3.8-5.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft-lbf}
Power Plant Frame Installation Note
1. Support the transmission and differential so that they are level using a transmission jack.
2. Install the power plant frame.
3. Install the plate.
4. Temporarily tighten the bolts and nuts as shown in the figure.
5. Tighten the nut B until the power plant frame is seated in the differential.
6. Install the heat insulator, exhaust manifold stay, catalytic converter, middle pipe, main silencer and front tunnel member.
7. Raise the power plant frame front end (transmission side) or transmission using a transmission jack so that dimension A (between power plant frame lower surface and front tunnel member lower surface) shown in the figure is within the adjustment value.
NOTE:
- When raising the power plant frame without a transmission jack, use bolts (M12x1.25) with a thread length of 55 mm {2.17 in} or more. Tighten the bolts from the underside of the front tunnel member as shown in the figure and raise the power plant frame.
- When using bolts, the underside of the power plant frame could be damaged. Affix tape to the underside of the frame to prevent damage.
- If there is the possibility of age-related bending/deterioration of the mount, adjust dimension A to approx. 15 mm {0.59 in} higher than the adjustment value to facilitate obtaining the specification.
Adjustment dimension A
- 55-57 mm {2.17-2.24 in}
8. Tighten the bolts and nuts on the differential side in the order shown in the figure.
9. Tighten the bolts and nuts on the transmission side as shown in the figure.
Tightening torque
- 126.0-154.0 Nm {12.9-15.7 kgf-m, 93.0-113.5 ft-lbf}
10. Verify that dimension A is within the specification with the transmission jack and the adjustment bolt removed.
- If not within the specification, adjust dimension A again.
Standard dimension A
- 48.4-56.4 mm {1.91-2.22 in}
Torque Converter Installation Nuts Installation Note
1. Align the holes by turning the torque converter.
2. Lock the drive plate using a flathead screwdriver.
CAUTION:
- Loosely and equally tighten the torque converter nuts, then further tighten them to the specified tightening torque.
3. Tighten the torque converter installation nuts.
