INSTALL TURBINE OUTLET ELBOW STAY
Temporarily install the turbine outlet elbow stay with the 2 bolts and 2 new nuts.
Tighten the 2 bolts.
Tech Tips
Tighten the nut after installing the front exhaust pipe.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Inspect the compression spring.
Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the compression spring.
| Minimum length |
|---|
| 40.5 mm (1.594 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Fully insert a new gasket into the exhaust manifold converter pipe by hand.
Using a wooden block, uniformly strike the gasket so that the gasket and exhaust manifold converter are properly fitted.
Note
Install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not damage the outer surface of the gasket.
Do not reuse the removed gasket.
Do not push in the gasket with the front exhaust pipe when connecting the pipe.
Connect the front exhaust pipe to No. 4 exhaust pipe support.
Install the front exhaust pipe and 2 compression springs with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY
CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
ADD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
INSPECT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Tech Tips
Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature.
| Fluid temperature |
|---|
| 70 to 80 °C (158 to 176 °F) |
Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed, move shift the lever into all positions from P to L and return to the P position.
Take out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Put it back all the way.
Take it out again and check that the fluid level is within the HOT range.
If the fluid level is below the HOT range, add new fluid and recheck the fluid level. If the fluid level exceeds the HOT range, drain the fluid once, add the proper amount of new fluid and recheck the fluid level.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
When shifting from P position only with ignition switch ON and depress the break pedal.
Make sure that the shifting lever moves smoothly and can be moderately operated.
When starting engine, make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from N to D position and moves reward when shifting R position.
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
Remove a clip, nut, and disconnect between the control shaft lever to transmission control cable assembly from the control shaft lever and transmission control cable bracket No.1.
Turn the control shaft lever until stop to a clockwise direction, return the control shaft lever 2 notches to N position.
Set the shift lever to N position while holding the shift lever lightly toward the R position side and install it.
Note
Tighten the nut with it closing up cranky.
Inspect the operation condition and work.
