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. Shift the selector lever to "P" position, and then release the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
3. Remove the engine cover (front and rear). Refer to Exploded View.
4. Remove the manual lever. Refer to Exploded View.
5. Separate the propeller shaft assembly. Refer to Exploded View.
6. Remove the floor under cover with a power tool. Refer to Exploded View.
7. Remove the suspension member stay. Refer to Exploded View.
8. Remove the exhaust mounting bracket with power tool. Refer to Regular Grade.
9. Remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the A/T assembly. Refer to Exploded View.

CAUTION:
- Never subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
- Never disassemble.
- Never allow metal filings, etc. to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
- Never place in an area affected by magnetism.
10. Remove the starter motor. Refer to Exploded View.
11. Remove the rear plate cover. Refer to Exploded View.
12. Turn the crankshaft, and remove the tightening bolts for drive plate and torque converter.

CAUTION:
When turning the crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
13. Remove the A/T fluid cooler tubes from the A/T assembly. Refer to Exploded View.
14. Plug up openings such as the A/T fluid cooler tube holes.
15. Support the A/T assembly with a transmission jack.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow it to collide against the drain plug and overflow plug when setting the transmission jack.

NOTE:
Be placing wooden block between oil pan (upper) and front suspension member, the removal of A/T assembly from engine becomes easier.
16. Remove the rear engine mounting member and engine mounting insulator (rear) with a power tool. Refer to Exploded View.
17. Disconnect the A/T assembly connector.
18. Remove the harness and brackets.
19. Remove the bolts fixing A/T assembly to the engine with a power tool.
20. Remove the air breather hose, air breather box and bracket. Refer to Exploded View.





21. Remove the A/T assembly from the engine.

CAUTION:
- Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
- Secure A/T assembly to a transmission jack.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.





- Check fitting of the dowel pins (Black arrow indicates).
- When installing the A/T assembly to the engine, be sure to check dimension "A" to ensure it is within the reference value limit.





B : Scale
C : Straightedge

Dimension A : Refer to Torque Converter.






- When installing the A/T 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.

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. Refer to Exploded View.
- Rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding after converter is installed to drive plate.
