PROCEDURE
INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
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 and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter.
Turn the torque converter assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear and the slot on the torque converter assembly.
| *1 | Engine Surface |
| *2 | Drive Plate Surface |
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension A between the surface of the engine that contacts the transmission and the surface of the drive plate that contacts the torque converter.
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
Using a vernier caliper and a straightedge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that B is more than A measured in the first step.
| Standard distance |
|---|
| B = A + 1.00 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.

Coat 2 new O-rings with ATF and install them to the transmission oil thermostat.
Temporarily install bolt labeled A. Install the bolts labeled B and tighten them to the specified torque. Then tighten bolt labeled A to the specified torque.
INSTALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
Apply clutch spline grease to the surface of the crankshaft that contacts the torque converter centerpiece.
| Clutch spline grease |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent |
| Maximum grease amount |
|---|

Confirm that the 2 knock pins are on the surface of the engine block that contacts the transaxle.
| *1 | Torque Converter Centerpiece |
| *2 | Knock Pin |
| *3 | Crankshaft |
Keeping the engine and automatic transaxle assembly horizontal, align the knock pins with the holes on the automatic transaxle assembly and install the 10 bolts shown in the illustration.

| *d | Upper |
| *e | -45 to 45° |
Connect the 2 transmission oil cooler hoses to the oil cooler tube unions.
Note
Make sure the pinching portion of each clip is facing the direction shown in the illustration.
Make sure the paint mark of each hose is facing outward.
CONNECT WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
Connect the park/neutral position switch connector, 2 transmission wire connectors, 2 speed sensor connectors and 3 transfer control connectors.
Tech Tips
Push up the lever until the claw of the transmission wire connector makes a connection sound.
Attach the 4 connector clamps and 11 harness clamps.
Install the 4 wire harness clamps.
Tilt up the automatic transmission.
Connect the ground cable with the bolt.

INSPECT FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
When moving the shift lever from P to R with the engine switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that it moves smoothly and correctly into position.
Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to S.
Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D, and moves rearward after moving the shift lever to R.
If there are problems during the above inspections, perform the adjustment using the following procedures.
Move the shift lever to N
| *1 | Lever |
