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.

Dual-Linear Switch (DLS)
The TCM detects gear selection by means of a switch fitted to the 'J' gate; the DLS contains two multi-track slider switches,
of which the upper controls P R N D and the lower 4 3 2 .
Output from the DLS is changed as the select or lever is moved, thus indicating selected gear position. The parallel signal is
input to the TCM by 4 discrete logic wires W0, W1, W2 and W3. The particular sequence, or gray code, will indicate which
shift position is selected, as shown in the following table where 0 = low and 1 = high:

Transmission Unit Gear Selector

The gear selector at the transmission unit:
Is connected to the operator's selector module by cable Operates the selector valve, at the electro-hydraulic control unit
