INSTALLATION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: The structural cover must be installed as described in the following steps. Failure to do so will
cause severe damage to the cover.
1. Position the structural cover in the vehicle.

CAUTION: The structural cover must be held tightly against both the engineand the transmission bell hous-
ing during tightening sequence. Failure to do so may cause damage to the cover.
4. Torque the (4) structural dust cover bolts that go
intothetransmissionto6-11Nꞏm(50-100in.lbs.).
5. Torque the (4) structural dust cover bolts that go
into the engine block to 6-11 Nꞏm (50-100 in.lbs.).
6. Starting with the two rearcover-to-engine bolts,
tighten bolts (1) to 54 Nꞏm (40 ft. lbs.), then tighten

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
CAUTION: The 7/16 inch engine block to clutch housing bolts must be loosened before removal/installation
of the structural dust cover. Clutch housing distortion will occur if thisprocedure is not followed.
1. Position the structural cover in the vehicle.
CAUTION: The structural cover must be installed as described in the following steps. Failure to do so will
cause severe damage to the cover, and engine noise.

and the transmission clutch housing during tight-
ening sequence. Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the cover and engine noise.

the rear face of block on the passenger side of
blockto54Nꞏm(40ft.lbs.).
7. Torque the structural cover bolt that is closest to
the front face of block on the drivers side to 54
Nꞏm (40 ft. lbs.).
8. Torque the remaining (2) structural cover bolts that
go into theblockin an “X” pattern to 54 Nꞏm (40 ft.
lbs.).
9. Torque the structural cover bolts that go into theclutch housingto 54 Nꞏm (40 ft. lbs.).
10. Torque the 7/16 inch engine block to clutch housing bolts to 68 Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
