Installation
Note! For tightening torques, see Specifications. Tightening Torque
Installing the gearbox
Before installing the transmission it is very important that the checks and cleaning have been carried out. See: Transmission, preparations before installing Transmission, Preparations Before Installing.
Adjust for height and angle using the mobile jack and the gearbox fixture.
Align the gearbox 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 gearbox.
Installing engine mounting
Tighten the transmission mounting. Refer to: Tightening torque Tightening Torque
Lifting engine and transmission
Lift the engine/transaxle. Align the mounting against the transaxle in the engine support insulator.
Install the M14 screw for the engine mount. Tighten. See: Tightening torque Tightening Torque.
Remove the lifting beams and the lifting hook.
Installing the screws in the transmission / engine
Install:
- the 4 x M10 screws for the transmission and engine. Tighten
- the starter motor. Tighten. See: Tightening torque [1][2]Specifications.
Installing the bracket
Note! Ensure that the transaxle bleed hose does not get trapped or bent and is secured in its holder.
Install:
- the electrical connector for the transaxle
- the bracket holder
- the bracket and the coolant hose.
Installing the gear selector cable
Note! Ensure that the cable and sleeve do not crack or break.
Install:
- the oil line to the oil cooler and timing cover
- the gear selector cable on the bracket and the lever.
Adjust the gear selector cable according to: Gear selector cable, adjusting Adjustments.

Note! Use new screws.
Align the torque converter against the carrier plate. Do this by turning the engine with the nut for the crankshaft pulley and turning the torque converter.
Install all 6 x screws loosely. Tighten the screws. Tighten until the heads are almost in contact with the flexplate. Tighten. See: Tightening torque Tightening Torque. Use a Torx-wrench 50.
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: Tightening torque Tightening Torque
- the ground cable on the transmission
- the torque rod mounting to the transaxle, 3 x M10. Tighten.
Installing the sub-frame
Secure the subframe against the fixture plate. Use a retaining strap.
Lift the subframe. Align the subframe in the front mountings in the side members. Install the screws loosely, 4-5 threads.
Allow the subframe to hang down at the rear edge and to rest on the transmission jack.
Remove the temporary mounting for the steering gear. Allow the steering gear to rest on the subframe.
Installing the anti-roll bar
