Installing
Note! For tightening torques, see Specifications. Tightening Torque.
Installing the transmission
Before installing the transmission it is very important that the checks and cleaning have been carried out. See: Transmission, preparations before installing, B5254T7, AW55-50/51SN Transmission, Preparations Before Installing.
Adjust for height and angle using the mobile jack and the transmission fixture.
Align the transmission against the engine.
Ensure that the transmission is straight in relation to the engine. Ensure that the guide pins align with the guide holes in the transmission.
Installing and tightening screws for the transmission
Fit the screws, 6 pcs. M10, to the transmission/engine.
First tighten alternately and crosswise to light contact.
At the same time, check that the whole of the gearbox is in contact with the engine.
Tighten.
Remove the fixture from the transmission.
Installing engine mounting
Install the mounting for the transaxle. Use 3 x M10 screws. Tighten.
Lifting the engine and the transmission
Lift the engine/transmission. Align the mounting against the transmission in the engine pad.
Install the M14 screw for the engine mount. Tighten. See Specifications. Tightening Torque.
Remove the lifting beams and the lifting hook.
Installing the screws in the transmission / engine
Install:
- the 4 M10 screws for the transmission and engine. Tighten
- the starter motor. Tighten. See: Tightening torque [1][2]Specifications.

Note! Remove the socket wrench from the crankshaft.
Installing the oil line
Place a container underneath the gearbox.
Install:
- the oil line. Use a new O-ring. Tighten. See Specifications. Tightening Torque
- the ground lead on the transmission
- the torque rod mounting to the transmission, 3 x M10. Tighten.
Installing the charge air pipe
Install the charge air pipe under the engine.
Installing the sub-frame
Secure the sub-frame against the fixture plate using a retaining strap.
Lift the sub-frame. Align the sub-frame in the front mountings in the side members. Install the screws loosely, 4-5 threads.
Allow the sub-frame to hang down at the rear edge and to rest on the mobile jack.
Remove the temporary mounting for the steering gear. Allow the steering gear to rest on the sub-frame.
Installing the anti-roll bar
Install the stabilizer bar. Use 4 x new M10 screws. Tighten. See: Tightening torque [1][2]Specifications.
