Power Plant Frame Removal Note

1.  Support the transmission using a transmission jack.

ar8wzw00000188

2.  Remove the power plant frame.


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.

2.  Install the driven plate to the transmission (torque converter), and temporarily tighten.

3.  Tighten the transmission mounting bolts.

Power Plant Frame Installation Note

1.  Support the transmission and differential so that they are level using a transmission jack.

ar8wzw00000188

2.  Install the power plant frame.

3.  Install the plate.

4.  Temporarily tighten the bolts and nuts as shown in the figure.

ar8wzw00000189

5.  Tighten the nut B 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.

ar8uuw00000331

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