INSTALLATION
1. CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INSTALLA-
TION
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure from the distance
from the installed surface of the transmission housing to the
installed surface of the torque converter clutch.
Correct distance: More than 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
If the distance is less than the standard, check for an improper
installation.
2. INSTALL TRANSMISSION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
(See page AT±28)
HINT:
After installation, check and inspect items as follows.

Adjust the shift lever position. (See page DI±318)

Fill ATF and check fluid level. (See page DI±318)

Do the road test. (See page DI±318)

CAUTION:
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the follow-
ing items.

Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old
FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.

Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose
material.

Clean both sealing surfaces with a non±residue solvent.

Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along
the sealing surface.

Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reap-
plied.

2. REMOVE OIL PAN
NOTICE:
Some fluid will remain in the oil pan.
(a) Remove the 19 bolts.
(b) Install the blade of SST between the transmission case
and oil pan, cut off applied sealer, and remove the oil pan.
SST 09032±00100
NOTICE:
When removing the oil pan, be careful not to damage the oil
pan flange.
3. EXAMINE PARTICLES IN PAN
Remove the magnets and use them to collect steel particles.
Carefully look at the foreign matter and particles in the pan and
on the magnets to anticipate the type of wear you will find in the
transmission.
Steel (magnetic) ... bearing, gear and clutch plate wear
Brass (non±magnetic) ... bushing wear
