TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY

• When installing the transmission to the engine, install the bolts in

accordance with the standard below.

• Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque

converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then, tighten the bolts

with the specified torque.

CAUTION:

• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the

front of the engine.

• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft

several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates

freely without binding.

• When replacing an engine or transmission you must make

sure the dowels are installed correctly during re-assembly.

• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause

vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive train components.

• After completing installation, check fluid leakage, fluid level, and the positions of A/T. Refer to

TM-269,

"Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)"

TM-285, "Inspection and Adjustment"
