1. CAUTION: A new transmission requires a NEW torque
converter.
Installation is the re verse of the removal procedure, noting the
following:
2. Clean all mating faces and relevant parts.

3. Apply lubricant, MOLYCOTE or equivalent to the torque
converter spigot.

4. Fit the screw (lower) securing th e harness link lead heatshield.
Tighten to the specified torque figure.
5. Fit the dipstick lower tube.
Remove the blanking plug and fit a new O-ring seal.
Tighten the bolt to the specified torque figure.

6. Fit the mounting bracket for th e front muffler. Tighten the two
bolts to the specified torque figure.

7. Secure the transmission to the engine.
Loosely assemble - Cooler pipe clip bolt.
Loosely assemble - Ground lead bolt.
Loosely assemble - Starter cable clips, two bolts.
Loosely assemble - Catalyst bracket bolts, two each side.
Loosely assemble - Rema ining eight bolts.
Refer to the illustration - tighten in sequence 1,2,3,4 then
in any order.

8. Secure the torque converter to the engine.
1. Fit, but do not tighten, the three bolts which secure the torque converter to the drive plate.
Prevent crankshaft rotation and tighten ALL converter
bolts to the specified torque figure.
2. Fit the blanking plug to the cylinder block access aperture.
9. Secure the oil cooler pipes.
Fit new Dowty washers to each union. Connect the upper
and lower cooler pipes.
Tighten to the specified torque figure.

10. Refit the harness connector support bracket and tighten the
two bolts to the specified torque figure, noting that one fixing
also retains the di pstick upper tube.

11. Connect the selector cable. Ti ghten the bolts and one nut to
the specified torque figure.

12. Connect the driveshaft (prop-shaft) aligning the marks made
when it was removed. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque
figure.
13. Fit the rear crossmember. Tighten the bolts to the specified
torque figure.

14. Refit the coolant header tank. Tighten to the specified torque
figure.

15. Fit the harness and clip (trans mission link harness) to the
rear of the cylinder head. Tighte n to the specified torque figure.
16. Refer to Operation 44.24.02 for fluid fill procedure.

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L NA V8 - AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 -
Transmission Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains fluid temperature within specified limits.

Parts List
Component Descriptions
The transmission fluid pipes:
Transfer fluid from the transmission to the cooler under the action of the hydraulic system pump. Return the cooled fluid from th e cooler to the transmission.
The transmission fluid cooler:
Is a plate type made from aluminum. Is mounted in the engi ne cooling radiator right-hand end tank.
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transm ission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, th e transmission control module locks
the torque converter clutch. By reducing slip, this minimises th e amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from
the transmission fluid.

Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L SC V8 - AJ26 - Transmission
Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains the fluid temperature within specified limits. The cooling element is located
in the engine cooling radiator LH end tank.
Fluid is circulated, under pressure, by the transmission pump to the cooler.
General Layout

Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transmission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, the transmission control module
locks the torque converter clutch . By reducing slip, this minimises the amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling
system from the transmission fluid.

Is hard-wired to the transmission control module.
Kickdown Switch (where fitted)

The kickdown switch:
Is floor mounted under the accelerator pedal. Is operated by pressing the pedal to the full throttle position. Provides maximum acceleration on driver demand, by signal ling the transmission control module to select the lowest gear to give maximum wheel torque.
Transmission Unit Gear Selector

The gear selector at the transmission unit:
Is connected to the driver's selector module by a Bowden cable. Operates the manual selector valve, which is part of the electro-hydraulic control unit. Operates the rotary switch, which is connected to the transmission control module.

moving the set position of either the shift lever or the selector lever.
3. Tighten the locknuts to the specified torque figure
4. Verify the N setting.
11. Further installation is the reve rse of the removal procedure.
12. Connect the battery and fit the battery cover.
Reset the radio and the clock.
