Transmission, Installing
-- Make sure the alignment sleeves are installed in the engine flange.
-- Check the plate seating between the engine and the transmission. The plate must contact the engine along the entire perimeter. If it is above the engine, then it is not hooked into the cylinder block correctly.
-- Make sure the torque converter is installed correctly. Refer to TORQUE CONVERTER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
Further installation is performed in the reverse order of the removal.
Mount the engine and the transmission in the subframe mount free of tension. Refer to SUBFRAME MOUNT [For engine(s) CDVB] or SUBFRAME MOUNT [For engine(s) CVCA] or SUBFRAME MOUNT [For engine(s) DDSB, DDSA] .
-- Replace all the bolts from the left subframe mount.
-- Install all new bolts first by hand.
When installing, first install the transmission bracket -A- onto the transmission using the bolts -1- and tighten to 40 Nm + 90°.
-- Align the engine/transmission in its installed position. Lift until the transmission bracket is touching the transmission mount completely.
There is a risk of damaging threads in transmission bracket by inserting bolts at an angle.
- Before installing the bolts -2-, the transmission bracket and transmission mount support arm must be absolutely parallel to each other. If necessary, lift the back of the transmission using the Engine and Gearbox Jack.
Adjust the >>old fit<< between both bolts using a screwdriver when tightening the bracket/transmission mount bolts -2-. Tighten the two larger bolts to 60 Nm +90°.
Transmission to engine tightening specifications. Refer to TRANSMISSION TIGHTENING SPECIFICATIONS .
