16. Install a new set ring on the end of each driveshaft'
17. Installthe right and left driveshafts (see ssction 16)
CAUTION: Whil6 installing the driveshafE in the
diffarential, be surs not lo allow du3t and othor for-
eign particl€s to enler into the transmission.
NOTE:
. Clean the areas where the driveshafts contact the
transmission (differential) thoroughly with sol-
vent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with com-
pressed air.
. Turn the right and left steering knuckle fully out-
ward, and slide each driveshaft into the differen-
tial until you feel its set ring clip engage the side
gear.
18. Install the damper fork, then install the rightand left
ball joints to the each lower arm with the castle nuts
and new cotter Plns.

26. Connect the positive (+) cable first. then the nega-tive (-) cable to the battery.
27. Check the ignition timing (see section 23).
28. Start the engine. Set the parking brake, and shift thetransmission through all gears. three times. Checkthe shift cable adjustment (see page 14_190).
29, Check the front wheel alignment (see section 1g).
30. Let the engine reach operating temperature (thecooling fan comes on) with the transmission in Nor @ position, then turn it off and check the fluidlevel (see page 14- 7).
31. Road test as described on pages 14-113 thru ,14_116.

Cooler Flushing
!!!@ To prevent iniury to. face and eyas, always
-ea. safetv glasses ot a face shield when using the
transmission flusher.
NOTE: This procedure should be performed before rein-
stalling the transmission.
1. Check the tool and hoses for wear and cracks before
using. lf wear or cracks are found, replace the hoses
before using.
Using the measuring cup, fill the tank with 2'l ounces
(approximately 2/3 full) of biodegradable flushing
fluid (J35944 - 20). Do not substitute with any other
fluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluid
contarner.
Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the tank
with compressed air to between 550 - 829 kpa (5 6 -
8.45 kgflcm'. 80 - 120Psi).
NOTE: The air line should be equipped with a water
trap to ensure a dry air system.
Hang the tool under the vehicle.
Attach the tank's discharge hose to the return line
of the transmission cooler using a clamp.
Connect the drain hose to the inlet line on the trans-
mission cooler using a clamP
IMPORTANT:
Securely clamp the opposite end oJ the drain hose to a
bucket or floor drain.

7. With the water and air valves off, attach the water and
air suDolies to the flusher' lHot water if available.)
8, Turn on the flusher water valve so water will flow
through the cooler for 10 seconds.
NOTE; lf water does not tlow through the cooler, it
is completely plugged. cannot be flushed, and must
be replaced.
9. Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the
water flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger down'
While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for
two minutes, turn the air valve on for five seconds
everv 15 - 20 seconds to create a surging action'
AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kpa {8.45 kgf/cm', 120 psi)
Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, then
reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush in
the opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 10'
12, Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with water
onlv for one minute
13. Turn the water valve off, and turn off the water supply
14. Turn the air valve on to dry the system out with air
for two full minutes or until no moisture is visible
leaving the drain hose.
CAUTION: Residual mobturo in tho cooler or pipas
can damage the transmksion'
15. Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach the
drain hose to a contalner.
16. Install the transmission, and leave the drain hose
attached to the cooler line

Make sure the transmission is in the E position.
Fill the transmission with ATF, and run the enginefor 30 seconds or until approximately 0.95 f (1.0 USqt.,0.8 lmp qt.) is discharged.
Remove the drain hose, and reconnect the coolerreturn hose to the transmission (see page l4-192).

TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Empty and rinse after each use. Fill the can with waterand pressurize the can. Flush the discharge line toensure that the unit is clean.
2. lf discharge liquid does not foam, the orifice may beblocked.
3. To clean, disconnect the plumbing from the tank atthe large coupling nut.

3. Check that the hole in the adjuster is perfectlyaligned with the hole in the shift cable. There aretwo holes in the adjuster. They are positioned 90.apart to allow cable adjustment in 1/4 turn incre-ments.
ExactAlignment
4. lf the hole is not perfectly aligned, loosen the lock-nut on the adjuster and adjust as required.
5. Tighten the tocknut to 7 N.m (0.7 kgf.m, 5 tbf.ft).
6. Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel thelock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is stillout of adjustment and must be readjusted.
7. Make sure the lock pin is seated in the adjustersecuretv.
8. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that theshift position indicator follows the automatic trans-axle gear position switch.
9. Start the engine, and check the shift lever in allgears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer totroubleshooting (see page 14-109 thru 1'4-'112).
10. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on theAy'T gear position indicator panel, and verify that theshift lock lever is released.
