29. Install the nuts (E) to the ball joint pins (F) on each stabilizer link (G). Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench (H) in the top of the ball joint pins, and tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
30. Install the tie-rod end ball joints (I) to each knuckle with the nuts (J) and new cotter pins (K).





31. Secure the transfer breather hose bracket (A) on the transfer assembly with the bolt, and install the breather hose (B) over the breather pipe (C) with the dot (D) on the hose facing out.





32. Install the exhaust pipe A with the new self-locking nuts, its mount (B), and new gaskets (C) (D).





33. Install the front subframe stiffener with the new mounting bolts.

37. Install the harness clamp brackets on the engine rear cylinder head.





38. Install the transfer breather (A) on the throttle cable bracket (B). Install the transfer breather hose clamp (C) on the heater hose (D), centering the heater hose dot (E) in the clamp opening.





39. Connect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector (A), output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector (B), ATF temperature sensor connector (C), and 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector (D). Do not allow water, fluid, oil, dust, or other foreign particles to enter any of the connectors.





40. Connect the ATF cooler hoses (A) to the ATF cooler lines (B), and secure the hoses with the clips (C).





41. Connect the transmission range switch connector (A), and install the harness clamp (B) on the clamp bracket(C).
42. Install the transmission ground cable (D).





43. Secure the harness cover (A) and harness cover/clamp bracket (B) with the bolts.
44. Connect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C connector.





45. Install the harness cover (A) on the harness cover/clamp bracket (B), and secure it with the bolt.
46. Connect the 4th clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector (C), and install the harness clamp (D) on the bracket. Connect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector (E), and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B connector (F).
