BHE051301026W04

1. Remove the engine cover. (See ENGINE COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2. Remove the battery cover.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

4. Drain the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT.)

5. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

6. Install in the reverse order of removal.

7. Add ATF and, with the engine idling, inspect the ATF level and inspect for leakage. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT.) (See Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection.)

8. Inspect selector lever operation. (See SELECTOR LEVER INSPECTION.)

9. Inspect for leakage of ATF from all connecting points.

10. Perform the mechanical system test. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST.)

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.

Propeller Shaft Removal Note

1. Install the SST to the output shaft.

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

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.

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: 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. Support the transmission and differential so that they are level using a transmission jack.

2. Install the power plant frame.

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

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

5. Install the heat insulator, exhaust manifold stay, catalytic converter＼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 dimension A
48.4-56.4 mm {1.91-2.22 in}
Note
• When raising the power plant frame without a transmission jack, use bolts (M12x1.25) with a thread length of 55 mm {2.2 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.

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

74.5-93.2

{12.9-15.7, 55.0-68.7}

8. Tighten the nuts on the transmission side in the order shown in the figure.

Tightening torque
126.0-154.0 N·m
{12.9-15.7 kgf·m, 93.0-113.5 ft·lbf}

9. Verify again that dimension A is within the specification.

• If not within the specification, adjust dimension A again.

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.

Tightening torque
34-49 N·m {3.5-4.9 kgf·m, 26-36 ft·lbf}
