Set temperature controls to full warm.
Set blower control to low.
- Using a coolant mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled
water, fill expansion tank slowly. Continue until coolant
emerges from bleed screw. Cooling system capacity is listed
in Table c. Cooling system capacity (6-cylinder models).
NOTE-
Be sure radiator bleed screw is loose when filling cooling

Tap water may cause corrosion of radiator, engine and
coolant hoses.
Coolant can be reusedprovided it is clean and less than
two years old. Do not reuse coolant when replacing dam-
aged engine parts.

Manual Transmission
4 V-8 engine: Remove transmission mounting Tom-head bolts
(arrows). Note length and location of bolts.
Remove transmission by pulling backward until transmis-
sion input shaft clears clutch disc splines, then pull down-
wards. Lower transmission jack to remove transmission.
- Installation is reverse of removal, keeping in mind the
following:
When installing a new transmission, be sure to transfer
parts from old transmission
if applicable.
Thoroughly clean input shafl and clutch disc splines. Light-
ly lubricate transmission input shaft before installing.
* Be sure bellhousing alignment dowel sleeves are located
correctly. Replace damaged sleeves.
Center rear of transmission in driveshaft tunnel before
tightening transmission support bracket.
NOTE-
In order to avoid difficulties in transmission removal at a fu-
ture time, use washers with Torx-head mounting bolts.
- Reinstall driveshaft. Use new nuts when mounting driveshaff
to transmission/flex disc. See 260 Driveshaft.
- Refill transmission with appropriate lubricant before starting
or towing car. See Transmission fluid service earlier in this
repair group.
