INSTALL TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY
Install the transmission floor shift assembly with the 4 bolts.
Connect the 3 connectors and 5 clamps to the transmission floor shift assembly.
INSTALL NO. 1 CONSOLE BOX DUCT
Install the No. 1 console box duct with the 2 clips.
CONNECT CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
CONNECT FLOOR SHIFT GEAR SHIFTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Turn the transmission control shaft lever RH of the park/neutral position switch assembly counterclockwise until it stops, and then turn it clockwise 2 notches to set it to the N position.
Temporarily install the floor shift gear shifting rod sub-assembly with the nut.
Tighten the nut while lightly pushing the lever rearward.
| *a | Rear |
Note
Do not push the shift lever too hard.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR
Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 4 nuts.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
w/ Protector:
Tech Tips
Only perform this procedure when replacement of the front No. 1 exhaust pipe protector is necessary.
Install the front No. 1 exhaust pipe protector and exhaust pipe protector stay with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Install the clamp with the bolt.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Minimum free length |
|---|
| 38.5 mm (1.52 in.) |
Tech Tips
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Install the 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *3 | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Note
Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
Install 2 new gaskets and the front exhaust pipe with 4 new nuts, 8 bolts and 4 compression springs.
CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
for Bank 2 Sensor 2:
Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wires counterclockwise 4 turns.
| *1 | Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, connect the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Tech Tips
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.
Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.
After installing the sensor, check that the sensor wire is not twisted.
If the sensor wire is twisted, reinstall the sensor.
Connect the grommet of the heated oxygen sensor.
for Bank 1 Sensor 2:
Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wires counterclockwise 4 turns.
| *1 | Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, connect the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Tech Tips
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.
Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.
After installing the sensor, check that the sensor wire is not twisted.
If the sensor wire is twisted, reinstall the sensor.
Connect the grommet of the heated oxygen sensor.
INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE
Install the front center floor brace with the 2 clips, 6 bolts and 2 nuts.
INSTALL NO. 2 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install the No. 2 rear floor board sub-assembly with the 4 grommets and 7 clips.
INSTALL NO. 1 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install the No. 1 rear floor board sub-assembly with the 4 grommets and 7 clips.
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 the shift lever moves smoothly and correctly into the position.
Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when moving the shift lever from N to D and moves rearward when moving the shift lever to R.
If the operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
