REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-8, "Removal and
Installation" .
2. Remove transfer assembly from A/T assembly (AWD models).
Refer to TF-44, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove rear oil seal using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch rear extension assembly (2WD
models) or adapter case assembly (AWD models).
Installation
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check for A/T fluid leakage and A/T fluid level. Refer to AT- 1 3 , "
Checking
A/T Fluid" .
1. As shown in the figure, use the drift to drive rear oil seal into rear
extension assembly (2WD models) or adapter case assembly
(AWD models) until it is flush.
CAUTION:
Apply ATF to rear oil seal.
Do not reuse rear oil seal.

7. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains
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 can inhibit pump pressure.
If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to AT- 1 4 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
8. Support A/T assembly with a transmission jack.
CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to
prevent from damaging control valve with TCM and trans-
mission case.
9. Remove rear engine mounting member with power tool. Refer to AT-271, "
Removal and Installation (2WD
Models)" .
10. Remove rear extension assembly (VQ35DE models) or output shaft & companion flange complement
(VK45DE models) according to the following procedures.
a.VQ35DE models
i. Remove tightening bolts for rear extension assembly and trans-
mission case.
ii. Tap rear extension assembly with a soft hammer.
iii. Remove rear extension assembly from transmission case. (With
needle bearing.)

INSPECTION
Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter
After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check dis-
tance “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.
When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the follow-
ing standard.
VQ35DE models
VK45DE models
*: No.2 bolt also secures A/T fluid charging pipe.
Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then,
tighten the bolts with the specified torque. Refer to AT- 2 7 1 ,
"COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.
When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque con-
verter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to
confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley
mounting bolts. Refer to EM-72, "
INSTALLATION" (for
VQ35DE engine), EM-208, "
INSTALLATION" (for VK45DE
engine).
After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that
A/T rotates freely without binding.Distance “A”
