Installation
1. Make sure that the distance between the torque converter and the end of its housing is not less than 21.1 mm.
2. Install the torque converter on the drive disk and turn the crankshaft a few revolutions to ensure that the AT runs smoothly.
3. Tighten the AT mounting bolts: bolts No.1 (50 mm) and No.2 (135 mm) – with force 31÷40 Nm, and bolts No.3 (20 mm) and No.4 (30 mm) – with force 17÷23 Nm.
Note: The bolts are different lengths, do not mix them up.
4. Install all removed components.
5. After installation, adjust the selector cable (see section Adjusting the selector cable), adjust the ATF level and make sure there are no leaks. Check the correct operation of the AT.
