 When installing A/T assembly to the engine, be sure to check dimension “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
 When installing A/T assembly to the engine, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.
*: Tightening the bolt with bracket (and washer). Refer to TM-199, "2WD : Exploded View".
 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.
CAUTION:
 When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
 When tightening the tightening bolts for the torq ue converter after fixing the crankshaft pulley
bolts, be sure to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to
EM-62, "
Removal and Installation".
 Rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding after
converter is installed to drive plate.

74. 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 co nverter, add the same amount
of ATF as was drained.
75. Install torque converter while aligning notches of torque con- verter with notches of oil pump.
CAUTION:
Install torque converte r while rotating it.
76. Measure dimension “A” to make sure that torque converter is in proper position.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Pan
Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of mal-
function. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains foreign
particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may need replace-
ment. 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 TM-97, "
Cleaning".
