id051311710400

  Warning
  • A hot transmission and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before replacing ATF.

  Caution
  • Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause poor connections or corrosion. Be sure that water or foreign material do not enter the connector when disconnecting it.

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)

3. Drain the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [SJ6A-EL].)

  Caution
  • Do not damage the fitting surface of the transmission case and the oil pan.
  • Do not deform the oil pan.

4. Remove the oil pan and gasket.

5. Remove the oil strainer from the control valve body component.

10. Pull the TFT sensor from the control valve body component.

11. Remove the coupler component mounting bolt from the transmission case.

12. Remove the coupler component from the transmission case.

13. Remove the O-ring from the coupler component.

14. Install a new O-ring to the coupler component.

15. Tighten the coupler component mounting bolt to the transmission case.

  Tightening torque

  3.9—6.9 N·m {40—49 kgf·cm, 35—42 in·lbf}

16. Install the TFT sensor and the lock plate with the bolt to the control valve body component.

  Tightening torque

  8.0—12.0 N·m {82—122 kgf·cm, 26—42 in·lbf}

17. Connect the coupler component to the clamps.

18. Connect the connectors to the solenoids.

19. Coat a new O-ring with ATF and install it to the oil strainer.

20. Install the oil strainer with the bolts to the control valve body component.

  Caution
  • Pay attention to the fabric so that foreign materials from it cannot comes out in the transmission.

21. Clean the contact surface of oil pan and transmission case.

  Caution
  • Do not damage the fitting surface of the transmission case and the oil pan.
  • Do not deform the oil pan.

22. Install a new oil pan gasket and the oil pan to the transmission case.

  Caution
  • Be reminded that bolts might be damaged if tightened too much since the gasket is cork-made and there is little tightening sense.

23. Tighten the oil pan installation bolt.

  Tightening torque

  6.0—7.9 N·m {62—80 kgf·cm, 54—69 in·lbf}

24. Connect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)

25. Install the battery cover.

26. Add ATF and, with the engine idling, inspect the ATF level and inspect for leakage. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEVEL ADJUSTMENT [SJ6A-EL].)
