speed sensor, TR switch, shift & TCC solenoid valves and oth-
er electrical parts, and release their wire harness from clamps.
14) Apply transmission jack and take off rear mounting member by
removing its bolts.
15) With transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly held up
on jack, move them to the rear and lower them including torque
converter.
WARNING:
Transmission (and transfer if equipped) assembly may
tilt rearward on jack. It is recommended to use an auxil-
iary arm of jack for the purpose of safety.
AFTER DISMOUNTING
WARNING:
Be sure to keep transmission (and transfer if equipped) as-
sembly horizontal throughout the work. Should they be
tilted, torque converter may fall off and cause personal inju-
