2.  Remove the power plant frame.


Propeller Shaft Removal Note

1.  Install the SST to the main shaft.

ar8wzw00000569

2.  Insert a slab of wood behind the differential, and remove the propeller shaft.

Transmission Removal Note

Warning
•  Remove the transmission carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.
Caution
•  To prevent part interference in the engine compartment, position the installation part of the exhaust manifold stay of the front pipe on the transverse member to control the inclination of the transmission under its own weight.
ar8wzw00000571

1.  Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.

ar8wzw00000572

2.  Remove the transmission installation bolts.

3.  Remove the transmission.


Transmission Installation Note

1.  Shift to any gear position.

2.  Install the SST to the main shaft.

ar8wzw00000569

Warning
•  Remove the transmission carefully, holding it steady. If the transmission falls it could be damaged or cause injury.

3.  Place the transmission on the transmission jack and raise it.

ar8wzw00000572

Note
•  Slowly rotate the SST to engage the clutch with the main drive gear spline, and install the transmission.

4.  Install the transmission.

5.  Tighten the transmission installation bolts.

Power Plant Frame Installation Note

1.  Using a transmission jack, support the transmission so that it is level with the differential.

ar8wzw00000568

2.  Install the power plant frame.

3.  If the nut height for the nuts on the underside of the differential is 16—17 mm {0.63—0.66 in}, install the plate.

ar8wzw00000574

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

5.  Tighten nuts 1 until the power plant frame is seated in the differential.

6.  Install the heat insulator, exhaust manifold stay, catalytic converter, middle pipe, main silencer, and front tunnel member.

7.  Raise the power plant frame front end (transmission side) or transmission using a transmission jack so that dimension A (between power plant frame lower surface and front tunnel member lower surface) shown in the figure is within the adjustment value.

ar8wzw00000575

Note
•   When raising the power plant frame without a transmission jack, use bolts (M12x1.25) with a thread length of 55 mm {2.17 in} or more. Tighten the bolts from the underside of the front tunnel member as shown in the figure and raise the power plant frame.
•  When using bolts, the underside of the power plant frame could be damaged. Affix tape to the underside of the frame to prevent damage.
•  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.
Adjustment dimension A
55—57 mm {2.17—2.24 in}

8.  Tighten the nuts and bolts on the rear differential side in the order shown in the figure.

10.  Verify that dimension A is within the specification with the transmission jack and the adjustment bolt removed.

•  If it is not within the specification, adjust dimension A again.
Standard dimension A
48.4—56.4 mm {1.91—2.22 in}


Shift Lever Component Installation Note

Note
•  If the extension housing has been removed or the transmission has been disassembled and inspected, always add the specified type and amount of transmission oil.

1.  Add the specified type and amount of oil to the shift control case.

ar8wzw00000578

Shift control case specified oil grade
API GL-4 or GL-5
Shift control case specified oil viscosity
All season: SAE 75W-90
Above 10°C {50°F}: SAE 80W-90
Shift control case capacity (approx. quantity)
290—320 ml {17.7—19.5 cu in}

2.  Verify that the oil is filled to near the top of the rod in the shift control case.

ar8wzw00000579

3.  Apply grease to the areas of the shift lever component as shown in the figure.
