INSTALLATION





- Drive plate runout

Maximum allowable runout: Refer to Inspection, Cylinder Block.

If this runout is out of specification, replace drive plate with ring gear.





- When connecting torque converter to transmission, measure distance "A" to be certain that they are correctly assembled.

Distance "A": 26.0 mm (1.024 inch) or more





- Install converter to drive plate.

Tightening torque: 44 - 59 Nm (4.5 - 6.0 kg.m, 33 - 43 ft. lbs.)

- After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates freely without binding.





- Tighten bolts securing transmission.
- Reinstall any part removed.





- Check fluid level in transmission. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that transmission operates correctly. With parking brake applied, rotate engine at idling. Move selector lever through "N" to "D", to "2", to "1" and to "R" positions. A slight shock should be felt by hand gripping selector each time transmission is shifted.
- Perform road test.
