TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [R15M-D]

1. Remove the engine cover.

(See ENGINE COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2. Remove the battery cover.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

4. Drain the transmission oil.

(See TRANSMISSION OIL REPLACEMENT [R15M-D].)

5. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

6. Install in the reverse order of removal.

7. Add the transmission oil.

(See TRANSMISSION OIL REPLACEMENT [R15M-D].)

8. Perform the 'INSPECTION AFTER TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION', and verify that there is no abnormality.

(See INSPECTION AFTER TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION [R15M-D].)

Power Plant Frame Removal Note

1. Support the transmission using a transmission jack.

2. Remove the power plant frame.

Propeller Shaft Removal Note

1. Install the SST to the main shaft.

2. Insert a slab of wood behind the differential, and remove the propeller shaft.

Transmission Removal Note

Warning

• Remove the transmission carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.

Caution

• To prevent part interference in the engine compartment, position the installation part of the exhaust manifold stay of the front pipe on the transverse member to control the inclination of the transmission under its own weight.

1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.

2. Remove the transmission installation bolts.

3. Remove the transmission.

Transmission Installation Note

1. Shift to any gear position.

2. Install the SST to the main shaft.

Warning

3. Place the transmission on the transmission jack and raise it.

Note

• Slowly rotate the SST to engage the clutch with the main drive gear spline, and install the transmission.

4. Install the transmission.

5. Tighten the transmission installation bolts.

Bolt length

A: 55 mm {2.1 in}

B: 90 mm {3.5 in}

Tightening torque

37-52 N·m {3.8-5.3 kgf·m, 28-38 ft·lbf}

Power Plant Frame Installation Note

1. Using a transmission jack, support the transmission so that it is level with the differential.

2. Install the power plant frame.

3. Temporarily tighten the nuts in the order shown in the figure.

4. Tighten nuts 1 until the power plant frame is seated in the differential.

5. Install the heat insulator, exhaust manifold stay, catalytic converter, middle pipe, main silencer, and front tunnel member.

6. Raise the front end of the power plant frame (transmission side) with the transmission jack and adjust dimension A to the standard (lower end of power plant frame-lower end of the front tunnel member) as shown in the figure.

Standard A dimension

48.4-56.4 mm {1.91-2.22 in}

Note

• When a transmission jack or similar device is not used for raising the power plant frame, tighten a bolt with a length of 55 mm {2.16 in} or more (M12x1.25) from the underside of the front tunnel member as shown in the figure to raise the power plant frame.

• When using a bolt, attach tape or other material at the bottom surface of the power plant frame to protect it from damage.

7. Tighten the nuts and bolts on the rear differential side in the order shown in the figure.

N·m {kgf·m, ft·lbf}

8. Tighten the nuts on the rear differential side in the order shown in the figure.

Tightening torque

126.0-154.0 N·m

{12.9-15.7 kgf·m, 93.0-113 ft·lbf}

9. Verify that dimension A is within the standard.

• If it is not within the specification, readjust dimension A.

Shift Lever Component Installation Note

Note

• If the extension housing has been removed or the transmission has been disassembled and inspected, always add the specified type and amount of transmission oil.

1. Add the specified type and amount of oil to the shift control case.

Specified oil

API GL-4 or GL-5

All season: SAE 75W-90

Above 10°C {50°F}: SAE 80W-90

Capacity (approx. quantity)

290-320 ml {17.7-19.5 cu in}

2. Verify that the oil is filled to near the top of the rod in the shift control case.

3. Apply grease to the areas of the shift lever component as shown in the figure.

4. Align the shift lever component notch with the shift control case pin and install the shift lever component.
