The
automatic belt tensioner consists of an idler pulley which is
free to rotate on a bearing, located at the end of a spring-
loaded pivot arm.
The pivot arm can be turned counter-clockwise (viewed from th e front of the engine) for belt removal and installation.
A belt-wear indicator is incorporated on th e rear horizontal face of the pivot arm.

General Procedures
Removal
Installation
Special Tool(s)
Syringe 1. Raise the vehicle for access.
2. NOTE: This procedure will not re move residual fluid from the
torque converter.
Drain the transmission fluid.
2. WARNING: TRANSMISSION FLUID MAY CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS, ENSURE THAT ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES
ARE OBSERVED AND THAT THE RECEPTACLE FOR WASTE
HAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY.
Carefully remove the drain plug and drain the
transmission fluid.
3. Refit the drain plug and tighten to the specified torque figure.
Use a new O-ring.
1. Remove the fluid level / filler plug.
2. Using a syringe dedicated to tran smission fluid only (not used
for any other type of oil or fluids ), inject transmission fluid until
