4.  Tighten nut 2 until the power plant frame is seated in the rear differential.

5.  Temporarily tighten the nuts 4, 5 in order shown in the figure.

6.  Install the catalytic converter, middle pipe and tunnel member.

7.  Raise the front end of the power plant frame (transmission side) or the transmission with the transmission jack, and adjust dimension A to 26.7—34.7 mm {1.06—1.36 in} (lower surface of power plant frame-upper surface of the tunnel member) as shown in the figure.

Note

•  If there is the possibility of age-related bending/deterioration of the mount, adjust dimension A to approx. 15 mm {0.59 in} higher than the adjustment value to facilitate obtaining the specification.
