14. Support A/T and transfer assembly with a jack.
15. Remove engine rear mounting member from body and A/T
assembly. Refer to EM section (ªENGINE REMOVALº).
16. Remove bolts securing A/T assembly to engine.
+Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
+Secure A/T assembly with transfer to a jack.
17. Lower A/T assembly with transfer.
Installation
+Drive plate runout
CAUTION:
Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the ring gear
teeth.
Maximum allowable runout:
Refer to EM section (ªInspectionº, CYLINDER
BLOCKº).
If this runout is out of specification, replace drive plate with
ring gear.
+When connecting torque converter to transmission, measure
distance ªAº to be certain that they are correctly assembled.
Distance ªAº:
Refer to SDS, AT-1210.
+Install converter to drive plate.
+After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crank-
shaft several turns and check to be sure that transmis-
sion rotates freely without binding.
+Tighten bolts securing transmission.

+Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that
transmission operates correctly.
With parking brake applied, rotate engine at idling. Move
selector lever through ªNº to ªDº, to ª2º, to ª1º and to ªRº
positions. A slight shock should be felt by hand gripping
selector each time transmission is shifted.
+Perform road test. Refer to ªROAD TESTº, AT-1046.

6. Place transmission into Tool with the control valve facing up.
7. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of
malfunction. If the fluid is very dark, smells burned, or con-
tains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band)
may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean
indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo,
and clutches to stick and may inhibit pump pressure.
+If frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer to LC section (ªRadiatorº, ªENGINE
COOLING SYSTEMº).
8. Remove torque converter clutch solenoid valve and A/T fluid
temperature sensor connectors.
+Be careful not to damage connector.
9. Remove oil strainer.
a. Remove oil strainer from control valve assembly.
Then remove O-ring from oil strainer.
b. Check oil strainer screen for damage.

d. Tighten bolts while inserting 4.0 mm (0.157 in) dia. pin ver-
tically into locating holes in PNP switch and manual shaft.
15. Install torque converter.
a. Pour ATF into torque converter.
+Approximately 2 liters (1-3/4 Imp qt) of fluid are required
for a new torque converter.
+When reusing old torque converter, add the same
amount of fluid as was drained.

Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions (Annual Driving Distance < 30,000
km/year)
The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle
is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be
performed on the following items as shown in the table.
A Ð Driving under dusty conditions
B Ð Driving repeatedly short distances
C Ð Towing a trailer or caravan
D Ð Extensive idling
E Ð Driving in extremely adverse weather condi-
tions or in areas where ambient tempera-
tures are either extremely low or extremely
high
F Ð Driving in high humidity areas or in mountain-
ous areasG Ð Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive
materials
H Ð Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in
the desert
I Ð Driving with frequent use of braking or in
mountainous areas
