Automatic Transmission Assembly Installation

Install the torque converter clutch to the automatic transmission.

Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension A between the contact surfaces of the transmission and engine, and the contact surfaces of the converter and drive plate.

Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration. Check that B is greater than A.

Standard:

B = A + 1.00 mm (0.0394 in.) or more

Apply clutch spline grease to the surface of the torque converter centerpiece that contacts the crankshaft.

Clutch spline grease:

Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent

Maximum grease amount:

Approximately 1 g (0.353 oz)

Install the exhaust pipe (Toyota Fortuner RM000001216003X.html).

Add automatic transmission fluid (Toyota Fortuner RM0000013BU03NX.html).

Adjust the automatic transmission fluid (Toyota Fortuner RM0000013BU03NX.html).

When moving the shift lever from P to R with the ignition switch ON and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and correctly into position.

Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D, and moves rearward after shifting to the R.
If the results are not as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch and check the shift lever.
