Transmission Removal Note

  Warning
  • Verify that the transmission is securely supported by the jack. If the transmission falls, serious injury or death and damage to the vehicle could result. Before removing the transmission make sure that the jack is securely supporting the transmission.

  Caution
  • To prevent the torque converter and transmission from separating, remove the transmission without tilting it toward the torque converter.

1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.

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 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.
