Automatic Transmission Assembly Installation

Using calipers and a straight edge, measure dimension A between the transmission and the end surface of the drive plate.

Aligning the matchmarks on the transmission case and torque converter clutch, engage the splines of the input shaft and turbine runner.

Engage the splines of the stator shaft and stator while turning the torque converter clutch.

HINT:

Turn the torque converter clutch approximately 180°.

Turn the torque converter clutch and align the matchmarks on the torque converter clutch and transmission case to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter clutch.

NOTICE:

Do not push on the torque converter when aligning the matchmarks.

Using calipers and a straight edge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that B is greater than A measured in step (a).

Standard:

A + 1 mm or more

Tighten the oil cooler inlet tube No.1.

Torque:

42 N*m{428 kgf*cm, 31 ft.*lbf}

NOTICE:

Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 460 mm (18.11 in.)

Remove the nut and disconnect the shifting rod.

Turn the control shaft lever of the neutral start switch counterclockwise until it stops, and turn it clockwise 2 notches to set it to the N position.

Move the shift lever to the N position and tighten the nut while lightly pushing the lever toward the R position.

NOTICE:

Do not push the shift lever too hard.

After adjustment, check that the shift lever moves smoothly and the shift lever and gear operate correctly.

When shifting from the P to the R position with the engine switch on (IG) and brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and moves correctly into position.

Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from the N to the D position and moves rearward when shifting to the R position.
If operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
