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) or the transmission with the transmission jack, and adjust dimension A to 55-57 mm {2.16-2.24 in} (lower surface of power plant frame-lower surface of the front tunnel member) as shown in the figure.

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.
