INSTALLATION
Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the
following:
When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts as shown.
NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque
converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then, tighten the
bolts with the specified torque, using Tool to secure drive plate.
CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft
several turns and check to be sure that transmission
rotates freely without binding.
Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
After completing installation, check fluid leakage, fluid level, and the positions of A/T. Refer to MA-22,
"Checking A/T Fluid" , AT - 2 2 8 , "Checking of A/T Position" , AT-228, "Adjustment of A/T Position" . Transmission to
engine bolts: 113 N·m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)
