Installation

1. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT RING GEAR
Set up a dial indicator and measure the drive plate runout. If runout exceeds 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) or if the ring gear is damaged, replace the drive plate. If installing a new drive plate, note the orientation of spacers and tighten the bolts.

Torque: 750 kg.cm (54 ft.lb, 74 N.m)




2. MEASURE TORQUE CONVERTER SLEEVE RUNOUT
a. Temporarily mount the torque converter to the drive plate. Set up a dial indicator.

If runout exceeds 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.), try to correct by reorienting the installation of the converter. If excessive runout cannot be corrected, replace the torque converter.

NOTE: Mark the position of the converter to ensure correct installation.

b. Remove the torque converter.




3. INSTALL ENGINE REAR MOUNT INSULATOR TO EXTENSION HOUSING
a. Inspect the insulator for deterioration and replace if necessary.
b. Install the engine rear mount insulator together ground cable.

5. APPLY GREASE TO CENTER HUB OF TORQUE CONVERTER AND PILOT HOLE IN CRANKSHAFT




6. INSTALL TORQUE CONVERTER IN TRANSMISSION




7. CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER INSTALLATION
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure from the installed surface to the front surface of the transmission housing.

Correct distance: 26.4 mm (1.04 in.)




8. ALIGN TRANSMISSION AT INSTALLATION POSITION
a. Align the two knock pins on the block with the converter housing.
b. Temporarily install one bolt.




9. INSTALL TRANSMISSION HOUSING MOUNTING BOLTS
