PROCEDURE
INSTALL 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.
| *1 | Matchmark |
Align the matchmarks on the transmission case and torque converter, and then mesh the splines of the input shaft and turbine runner.
| *1 | Matchmark |
Mesh the splines of the stator shaft and stator while turning the torque converter.
Tech Tips
Turn the torque converter approximately 180°.
| *1 | Matchmark |
Turn the torque converter clutch and align the matchmarks on the torque converter and transmission case to fit the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter.
Note
Do not push on the torque converter when aligning the matchmarks.
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that B is more than A, which was measured in the first step.
| Standard distance |
|---|
| B = A + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more |
INSTALL NO. 1 TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE BRACKET
Install the control cable bracket with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL TRANSFER ASSEMBLY
INSTALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
Apply clutch spline grease to the crankshaft surface that contacts the torque converter centerpiece.
| Clutch spline grease |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent |
| Maximum grease amount |
| Approximately 1 g (0.353 oz.) |
| *1 | Torque Converter Centerpiece |
| *2 | Crankshaft |
Confirm that the 2 knock pins are on the transmission contact surface of the engine block before transmission installation.
Install the transmission with the 9 bolts.
Note
Insert the knock pins into the knock pin holes securely so that the end face of the transaxle assembly fits close against the engine assembly before tightening the bolts.
Do not use excess force to pry on the transmission assembly.
CONNECT WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
Connect the park/neutral position switch connector, transmission wire connector, 2 speed sensor connectors and transfer control side connector.
Tech Tips
Push up the lever until the claw of the transmission wire connector makes a connection sound.
Attach the 7 harness clamps.
Tilt up the automatic transmission.
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.
Tech Tips
If it is difficult to reach the setting bolts with the wrench, raise or lower the transmission jack until there is sufficient space for the wrench.
Note
Install the black bolt first, and then the 5 silver bolts.
INSTALL REAR NO. 1 ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR
Install the rear engine mounting insulator to the transmission with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL NO. 3 FRAME CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY
