48. If equipped with a automatic transmission perform the following:





48.1. Orientate the prop shaft hub clamp for access to the bolt (1).
48.2. Position the clamp bolt (1) facing downward.
48.3. Loosen the prop shaft hub clamp bolt (1).





49. Remove bolts attaching the transmission wire harness bracket: to the flywheel housing.
50. Remove the transmission wire harness from its mounting location, rearward toward the driveling support.
51. Lay the harness on the driveling support.
Secure if necessary.

Important: The weight of the engine should never be supported by the J42203.





52. Install the J42203 to the close-out panel flange.
53. If equipped with a manual transmission perform the following:

- The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (3)
- The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor (4)

65. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the MAP sensor.





66. Remove the driveline support bolts.

Important: Visually inspect the transmission wiring harness to ensure detachment from the engine.





67. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver, or similar tool, between the edge of the driveline support and the flywheel housing, then separate the flywheel housing from the driveline support.
68. Slowly pull the engine away from the propeller shaft.
69. As soon as the propeller input shaft clears the flywheel housing, slowly raise the vehicle.
70. Slide the engine and crossmember forward in order to clear the propeller shaft spline.

Important: Visually inspect the wiring harness clearances while raising the vehicle.





71. Raise the vehicle completely off of the engine and crossmember.
72. Remove the power steering pump pulley hub cap, if necessary.
