CAUTION:
Do not disassemble parts behind drum support. Refer to AT- 1 8 , "
Cross-sectional View (2WD Models)"
, AT- 1 9 , "Cross-sectional View (VQ35DE Models for AWD)" or AT- 2 0 , "Cross-sectional View (VK45DE
Models for AWD)" .
1. Drain ATF through drain plug.
2. Remove torque converter by holding it firmly and turing while pulling straight out.
3. Check torque converter one-way clutch using check tool as shown in the figure.
a. Insert check tool into the groove of bearing support built into one-way clutch outer race.
b. When fixing bearing support with check tool, rotate one-way clutch spline using screwdriver.
c. Make sure that inner race rotates clockwise only. If not, replace torque converter assembly.
4. Remove tightening bolts (1) for converter housing and transmis- sion case.
: Bolt (8)
Self-sealing bolts (2)
5. Remove converter housing from transmission case. CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch converter housing.

29. Remove bracket (1) (VK45DE), clips (2), oil pan (3) and oil pan
gasket.
: Vehicle front
: Bolt (22)
Drain plug (4)
30. 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 5 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning" .
31. Remove magnets from oil pan.
32. Disconnect A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 connector (1). CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector.
33. Straighten terminal clips ( ) to free terminal cord assembly and A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 harness.
34. Disconnect revolution sensor connector. CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector.

16. Install magnets in oil pan.
17. Install oil pan to transmission case.
a. Install oil pan gasket to transmission case. CAUTION:
Do not reuse oil pan gasket.
Install it in the direction to align hole positions.
Complete remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc. from oil pan gasket mounting surface.
b. Install oil pan (3) (with oil pan gasket), clips (2) and brackets (1) (VK45DE) to transmission case.
: Vehicle front
: Bolt (22)
CAUTION:
Install it so that drain plug (4) comes to the position as
shown in the figure.
Be careful not to pinch harnesses.
Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc.
from oil pan gasket mounting surface.
c. Tighten oil pan mounting bolts to the specified torque in numeri- cal order shown in the figure after temporarily tightening them.
Refer to AT- 2 7 4 , "
Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse oil pan mounting bolts.
18. Install drain plug to oil pan, and then tighten drain plug mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to AT- 2 7 4 , "
Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
19. Install torque converter.
a. Pour ATF into torque converter.
Approximately 2 liter (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 Imp qt) of ATF is
required for a new torque converter.
When reusing old torque converter, add the same amount
of ATF as was drained.

Removal and InstallationNJS000EU
REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Drain coolant from cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" (VQ35DE) or CO-38,
"Changing Engine Coolant" (VK45DE).
3. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to EI-23, "
COWL TOP" .
4. Remove high-pressure pipe 2 mounting clip.
5. Remove low-pressure flexible hose bracket mounting bolt. Refer to ATC-146, "
Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Flexible Hose" .
6. Disconnect low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 2 from evaporator.
a. Set a disconnector [high-pressure side (SST: 9253089908), low- pressure side (SST: 9253089916)] on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of low-pressure pipe 1, 2 and high-
pressure pipe 2, 3 with suitable material such as vinyl tape
to avoid the entry of air.
7. Remove electric throttle control actuator (VQ35DE). Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
8. Disconnect two heater hoses from heater core.

CAUTION:
All brake hoses and tubes must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
The brake tubes and hoses is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always dis-
assemble the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of body, immediately wipe it off and them wash it away with water
immediately.
Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
When removing components, cover brake line connections so that no dirt, no dust, or other for-
eign matter gets in.
Refill with new brake fluid “ DOT 3 ”.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
