Installation of transmission is the reverse of
removal. The following points must also be
observed:
Before installing:

- Clean threads in driveshaft flange using a tap.

- Clean ATF lines page 37
-158
.

- Insert torque converter into transmission page
32
-8 .

- Make sure bushings are correctly seated.

Note:
If the bushings get stuck in the transmission
housing, they must be removed and new
bushings must be installed on the engine.

lever cable on lever/shift rod -2- using a pair of pliers.

Do not deform lever/shift rod when pressing up or else shifting cannot be
precisely adjusted any more.
Note:
Check whether the torque converter is still properly installed and has not
slid out of the converter housing toward the font:
Place intermediate plate onto bushings.Make sure that wires do not get pinched as transmission is docked at
engine.
- It must be possible to easily turn torque converter by hand without
much force.

engine/transmission.

Note:
Some bolts also have a bracket or a Ground
