J TRANSMISSION -=DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTING SPACER 45UOJX-054 Installation note Transmission 1. Tilt the engine by pushing up on the front of the oil pan with a wooden block and a transmission jack. d 2. Support the transmission with a transmission jack. 3. Raise the transmission into place and install and tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 64-89 N-m (6.5--9.1 kgf-m, 48-65 ft.lbf) Power plant frame (PPF) 1. Install the differential mounting spacer. Tightening torque: 38-51 N.m (3.8-5.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft-lbf) 2. Support the transmission with a jack so that it is level. 3. Position the PPF and tighten the transmission-side bolts by hand. 4. Verify that the sleeve is installed into the block. 5. Install the spacer and reamer bolts in the forward hole, then hand tighten them. 6. Snugly install the power plant frame bracket. 7. Tighten the transmission-side bolts. Tightening torque: 104-123 N-m (10.S12.6 kgf.m, 76.7-91.1 ft.lbf) 8. Tighten the differential-side bolts. Tightening torque: 104-1 23 N-m (1 0.S12.6 kgf.m, 76.7-91.1 ft-lbf) Gartner Banana

K MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST PREPARATION SST STALL TEST 49 0378 400A Gauge set, oil pressure 49 801 9 901 Gauge, oil pressure For oil pressure test For oil pressure test This test is performed to determine if there is slippage of the friction elements or malfunction of the hy- draulic components. Preparation 1. Check the engine coolant, engine oil, and ATF levels before testing. 2. Warm the engine thoroughly to raise the ATF temperature to operating level (50--80°C, 122-176°F). 3. Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear of the wheels.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) K REPLACEMENT 1. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. Warning When the transmission and the ATF are hot, they can cause burns to the skin. Allow the transmis- sion and the ATF to cool before doing this proce- dure. 2. Loosen the oil pan installation bolts, and drain the ATF into a container. 3. Remove the oil pan and gasket. 4. Clean the oil pan and the magnet. 5. Install the oil pan along with a new gasket. Tightening torque: 5.9-7.8 N-m (60-80 kgfecm, 53-69 in-lbf) 6. Add approximately 4.0 L (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt} ATF, and check the ATF level. (Refer to page K-35.) Specified ATF: DexronmII or M-I11 Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION UNIT (REMOVAL) Preparation SST 49 0259 440 Holder, mainshaft For prevention of oil leakage 1. Shift the selector lever to N range. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 3. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. 4. The oil pan could contain small chips, shavings, and other particles helpful in checking the condition of the transmission and diagnosing certain problems. To ensure that all foreign particles stay in the oil pan, make sure that the transmission is never tipped completely over while the oil pan is still installed. Warning When the transmission and the ATF are hot, they can cause burns to the skin. Allow the trans- mission and the ATF to cool before doing this procedure. 5. Drain the ATF into a suitable container. 6. Remove in the order shown in the figure, referring to Removal Note. 7. After removal, remove the oil pan to check condition of the transmission.
