Installation
1. Flush the ATF cooler.2. Install the torque converter assembly on the mainshaft with a new O-ring.
3. Install the starter on the transmission housing, and install the 14 mm dowel pins in the torque converter housing.
4. Place the transmission on a jack, and raise it to engine level.
5. Attach the transmission to the engine, then install the rear engine mounting bolts and the transmission housing mounting bolt (rear side).
6. Install the transmission housing mounting bolt (front side).
7. Install the transmission mount bracket. Tighten the bolt loosely, tighten the nuts to the specified torque, then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Install the transmission housing mounting bolts.
9. Remove the transmission jack.
10. Attach the torque converter to the drive plate with eight bolts. Rotate the crankshaft as necessary to tighten the bolts to 1/2 of the specified torque, then to the final torque, in a crisscross pattern. After tightening the last bolt, check that the crankshaft rotates freely.
11. Install the torque converter cover and the rear stiffener.
12. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt as necessary.
13. Connect the ATF cooler hoses to the ATF cooler lines.
14. Install the right front mount bracket.
15. Install new set rings on the ends of the intermediate shaft and the driveshaft.
16. Clean the areas where the intermediate shaft contacts the transmission (differential) with solvent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Then install the intermediate shaft in the differential. While installing the intermediate shaft, be sure not to allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the transmission.
17. Install the right and left driveshafts. While installing the right driveshaft in the differential, be sure not to allow dust or other foreign particles to enter the transmission.
NOTE: Clean the areas where the right driveshaft contacts the transmission (differential) with solvent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Turn the right and left steering knuckle fully outward, and slide the right driveshaft into the differential until you feel its spring clip engage the side gear. Slide the left driveshaft into the intermediate shaft until you feel the spring clip of the intermediate shaft engage the left driveshaft.
18. Install right damper fork, then install the right and left ball joints on each lower arm with the castle nuts and new cotter pins.
19. Install the propeller shaft to the transfer assembly by aligning the reference marks.
20. Install the shift cable with the control pin, then secure it with the snap pin. Do not bend the shift cable excessively.
21. Install the shift cable cover.
22. Install exhaust pipe A.
23. Connect the primary heated oxygen sensor (primary H02S) connector
24. Install the splash shield and guard bar.
25. Connect the mainshaft speed sensor, the shift control solenoid valve, and the linear solenoid connectors.
26. Connect the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), the countershaft speed sensor, and the A/T gear position switch connectors.
27. Connect the lock-up control solenoid valve connector, then install the harness clamp on the clamp bracket.
28. Install the transmission ground cable terminal on the transmission hanger, and install the radiator hose clamp on the transmission hanger.
29. Connect the starter cables to the starter, and install harness clamp on the clamp bracket. Make sure the crimped side of the starter cable ring terminal is facing out.
30. Install the air cleaner housing assembly and the intake air duct.
31. Refill the transmission with ATF.
32. Connect the battery positive terminal and negative terminal.
33. Set the parking brake. Start the engine, and shift the transmission through all gears three times.
34. Check the shift cable adjustment.
35. Check the front wheel alignment and adjust it if needed.
36. Let the engine reach normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on) with the transmission in D4 or D3 position, then turn it off and check the ATF level.
37. Perform a road test.
