Transmission, Installing

Installation is in the reverse order of removal, note the following:

• Before installing a replacement transmission, clean the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) cooler and pipes. Refer to => [ ATF Cooler and Pipes Cleaning ] Procedures.

• When performing repairs, replace self locking nuts and bolts.

• Always replace bolts that are secured with tightening specifications as well as seals, gaskets and O-rings.

• Clean the input shaft splines of the transmission and damper unit splines on the flywheel, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant (G 000 100) on the splines. Excess lubricant must be removed.

• Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory.

• When installing, install all cable ties back to the same positions.

- Check if the alignment sleeves for centering the engine/transmission are in the cylinder block, install if necessary.

- Before installing the transmission, tie electrical wiring to one side so that it cannot be trapped between the engine and transmission.

- Raise the engine far enough until the selector lever cable can be installed.

- Press the selector shaft lever - A - onto the transmission completely toward the rear - arrow - until the parking lock engages.





- Carefully press the ball socket of the selector lever cable - 2 - onto the lever for the selector rod.





• Take care not to bend the selector shaft lever when pressing it on; support it if necessary, otherwise the selector mechanism can no longer be adjusted properly.

If the bracket for the selector lever cable - 3 - was removed from the transmission:





- Tighten bolts - 2 - on the bracket - 3 - for the selector lever cable to 23 Nm.

• Do not bend or kink the selector lever cable.

• Lightly grease the ball socket of the selector lever cable with polycarbamide grease (G 052 142 A2) before installing.

- Install the support bracket for the selector lever cable - 1 - according to the marking on the bracket.





- Place the intermediate panel or intermediate plate onto the bushings.

- Carefully raise the transmission and bring into installation position using the transmission support (3282).





• Tightening specifications are valid only for nuts and bolts that are lightly greased, oiled, covered with a thin coat of phosphate or blackened, tightening specifications.

• Additional lubricant such as engine or transmission oil may be used, but do not use graphite lubricant.

• Do not use de-greased parts.

• Tolerance for tightening specification ± 15%.

- Tighten the bolts for the engine/transmission flange to specifications (tables )

- Tighten the nuts for the left and right engine mounts - 3 -.





- Tighten the stabilizer bar bolts. Refer to - 2 -

- Tighten the bolts for the torque support or torque support stop to engine.

- Install the transmission mount - 1 - onto the transmission with bolts - 2 -. Refer to => [ Transmission Mount and Crossmember ] Service and Repair.





- Install the ATF lines with new sealing rings. Refer to => [ ATF Cooler, Pipes and Filter General Repair Information ] ATF Cooler, Pipes and Filter General Repair Information.

- Install the exhaust system.

- Install the drive axles.

- Install the heat shields for the left and right drive axles.

- Install the tunnel crossmember. Refer to => [ Transmission Mount and Crossmember ] Service and Repair.

- Align the exhaust system so it is free of tension.

- Electrical connections and routing.

- Observe the procedures for connecting the battery.

- Check the adjustment of the selector lever cable. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable Adjusting ] Adjustments.

- Check the oil level in the front final drive. Refer to => [ Front Final Drive, Gear Oil Level Checking ] [1][2]Final Drive, Differential (01J Transmission).

- Check the ATF level and top off. Refer to => [ ATF Level Checking ] ATF Level Checking.
