INSTALLATION
1. Install a new pump assembly and new main control valve body-to-chain cover gasket onto chain cover.
2. Carefully slide pump assembly and main control valve body over pump shaft and onto chain cover.
3. NOTE: On vehicles equipped with an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), the hydraulic modulator may not afford enough clearance to sufficiently rotate the pump assembly and main control valve body to complete engagement between the pump shaft and pump assembly. It may be necessary to rotate the crankshaft using a 7/8 inch deep well socket on the crankshaft pulley to complete the engagement of the pump shaft with the pump assembly. If the vehicle is not equipped with ABS, the following procedure may be used to obtain pump shaft engagement with the pump assembly.
a. Remove manual shift valve from main control valve body.
b. Rotate the main control valve body as necessary to allow engagement between the pump shaft and pump assembly. If complete engagement has been obtained, the main control valve body should slide flush onto chain cover with little effort.
c. After full engagement between the pump shaft and pump assembly has been obtained, align main control valve body to installation position and install manual shift valve.
4. Rotate pump assembly and main control valve body clockwise and connect manual valve link with manual shift valve.
5. Use Valve Body Guide Pin T86P-70100-C to position main control valve body and install pump assembly and main control valve body retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to 9-12 Nm (80-106 in lb) in the sequence shown.
CAUTION: Do not use pump assembly and main control valve body bolts to draw pump assembly and main control valve body onto chain cover or component damage may result.
6. Install transaxle wiring harness into chain cover.
7. Connect transmission fluid temperature sensor and solenoid electrical connectors to solenoids and main control valve body.
8. Install transaxle side pan with new gasket to chain cover. Secure transaxle side pan with transaxle side pan bolts and tighten to 9-12 Nm (80-106 in lb).
9. Install LH engine support and insulator.
10. Install LH front fender splash shield.
11. Install LH front wheel tire and wheel assembly.
12. Lower vehicle.
13. Remove Rotunda Three Bar Engine Support D88L-6000-A or equivalent with Rotunda Engine Lifting Brackets.
14. Install RH cowl assembly.
15. Connect Transmission Range (TR) sensor and transaxle harness electrical connectors and position engine wire harness.
16. Install battery and battery tray.
17. Connect battery ground cable and positive battery cable.
18. Install Air Cleaner (ACL) assembly.
19. Refill transmission fluid.
20. Start engine, move transaxle range selector lever through all ranges and inspect for leaks.
