Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure the dimension (A) between the automatic transaxle assembly contact surface of the engine assembly*a and the torque converter assembly contact surface of the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly*b.
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure the dimension (B) shown in the illustration and check that the dimension (B) is more than the dimension (A), which was measured in the previous step.
| Standard |
|---|
| Dimension (A) + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more |
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
If the automatic transaxle assembly is installed to the engine assembly with the torque converter assembly not sufficiently inserted, the torque converter assembly may be damaged.
Do not include the thickness of the set block.
INSTALL AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Crankshaft |
| *2 | Torque Converter Assembly Centerpiece |
|
Clutch Spline Grease |
Apply clutch spline grease to the surface of the crankshaft that contacts the torque converter assembly centerpiece.
| Clutch Spline Grease |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent |
| Maximum Grease Amount |
|---|
| Approximately 1 g (0.0353 oz) |
| *1 | Knock Pin |
Confirm that the knock pins are installed to the engine assembly and are not damaged.
While keeping the engine assembly and automatic transaxle assembly horizontal, align the knock pins with the holes in the automatic transaxle assembly and install the automatic transaxle assembly with the 9 bolts shown in the illustration.
Note
Confirm that the knock pins are installed to the automatic transaxle assembly contact surface of the cylinder block sub-assembly before installing the automatic transaxle assembly.
Do not forcibly pry on the automatic transaxle assembly.
Check that the torque converter assembly rotates.
