• The shackle (10 - 222 A/12) is needed to make sure the engine is lifted in the installed position and not tipped away.

Continuation for All:

- Support the engine with the transmission but do not lift it.

- Replace the engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed when the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.





Vehicles with a Manual Transmission:





- Replace the transmission mount to transmission mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed when the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.

Vehicles with a Automatic Transmission:





- Replace the transmission mount to transmission mount bracket bolts - arrows - one after the other if this was not already performed with the engine was installed and tighten them by hand.

Continuation for All:

- Loosen the engine and transmission mount to bracket bolts approximately 2 turns.

- Adjust the engine and transmission mounts and hand tighten the bolts.

• There must be a distance of at least 10 mm - a - present between the engine mount bracket - 2 - and right longitudinal member.





• The casting edge on the engine mount bracket - 2 - must be parallel to the engine mount support arm - 1 -.

Vehicles with a Manual Transmission:





• On the transmission side, the edges of the transmission mount support arm - 1 - and transmission mount - 2 - are parallel.

• Dimension - x - is the same on both sides.

Vehicles with a Automatic Transmission:





• On the transmission side, the edges of the transmission mount bracket - A - and transmission mount - B - are parallel.

• Dimension - x - same on both sides.

Continuation for All:

- Tighten the engine and transmission mount bolts to specifications. Refer to => [ Engine and Transmission Mounts Overview ] Service and Repair.

Further installation is performed in reverse order.
