INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
Inspect the 1-way clutch.
Press on the serrations of the starter with a finger and rotate it. Check that it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks up when turned counterclockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and recheck the 1-way clutch.
Replace the converter if the 1-way clutch still fails the check.
Determine the condition of the torque converter clutch.
Check that the following conditions are met:
During the stall test or when the shift lever is on N, metallic sounds are not emitted from the torque converter clutch.
The 1-way clutch turns in one direction and locks in the other direction.
The amount of powder in the ATF is not greater than the sample shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
The sample illustration shows approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 Imp. qts) of the ATF taken from a removed torque converter clutch.
Replace the ATF in the torque converter clutch.
If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, completely stir the ATF in the torque converter clutch and drain the ATF with the torque converter facing upward.
INSTALL TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
Engage the splines of the input shaft and turbine runner.
Engage the splines of the stator shaft and stator while turning the torque converter assembly.
Tech Tips
If the stator shaft splines are difficult to engage with the stator splines, move the torque converter back approximately 10 mm (0.394 in.) and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter assembly.
Turn the torque converter assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter assembly.
Clean the drive plate and torque converter setting bolt holes.
| *1 | Engine Surface |
| *2 | Drive Plate Surface |
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension A between the transmission contact surface of the engine and the torque converter contact surface of the drive plate.
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that dimension B is more than dimension A, which was measured in the previous step.
| Standard |
|---|
| A + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more |
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
If the transaxle is installed to the engine with the torque converter not sufficiently inserted, the torque converter may be damaged.
INSTALL ENGINE REAR MOUNTING INSULATOR
Install the engine rear mounting insulator with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Crankshaft |
| *2 | Torque Converter Centerpiece |
Apply clutch spline grease to the circumference of the crankshaft contact surface with the torque converter centerpiece.
| Clutch spline grease |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent |
| Maximum spread |
| About 1 g (0.0353 oz.) |
Confirm that 2 knock pins are on the transmission contact surface of the engine block before transmission installation.
Note
Make sure that the mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.
Do not use excess force to pry on the automatic transmission assembly.
INSTALL DRIVE PLATE AND TORQUE CONVERTER SETTING BOLT
Turn the crankshaft to gain access to the installation locations of the 6 torque converter setting bolts and install each bolt while holding the crankshaft pulley bolt with a wrench.
Note
First install the black colored bolt, and then the remaining 5 silver colored bolts.
CONNECT WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
Tilt down the automatic transmission assembly.
Connect the park/neutral position switch connector.
Connect the transmission wire connector.
Tech Tips
Push up the lever until the claw of the transmission wire connector makes a connection sound.
Attach the 5 harness clamps to the automatic transmission assembly.
Tilt up the automatic transmission assembly.
Install the bolt and ground wire to the automatic transmission assembly.
INSTALL ENGINE REAR MOUNTING MEMBER
Install the engine rear mounting member to the body with the 6 bolts.
Install the engine rear mounting member to the automatic transmission assembly with the 4 nuts.
CONNECT OIL COOLER TUBE INLET AND OUTLET
Temporarily install the oil cooler tube inlet and oil cooler tube outlet.
Install the 2 clamps with the 2 bolts.
Using a union nut wrench, tighten the union nuts of the oil cooler tube inlet and oil cooler tube outlet.
Note
Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.
INSTALL TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHAFT LEVER RH
Install the transmission control shaft lever RH together with the floor shift gear shifting rod subassembly with the nut.
CONNECT FLOOR SHIFT GEAR SHIFTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Temporarily connect the floor shift gear sifting rod sub-assembly to the connecting rod swivel with the nut.
Tech Tips
The nut will be tightened to a torque specification during the shift lever position adjustment procedure.

INSTALL COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER
for LHD:
Install the 6 clips and cowl top ventilator louver RH.
Note
If the cowl top ventilator louver RH is not properly installed, water may leak into the engine room and cause malfunctions. Therefore, make sure the cowl top ventilator louver RH is installed properly.
for RHD:
Install the 6 clips and cowl top ventilator louver LH.
Note
If the cowl top ventilator louver LH is not properly installed, water may leak into the engine room and cause malfunctions. Therefore, make sure the cowl top ventilator louver LH is installed properly.
