AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

INSTALL TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

Attach the splines of the input shaft and turbine runner.
Attach 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 (0.393 in.) and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter assembly.
Turn the torque converter to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear with the slot on the torque converter assembly.
Clean the torque converter set bolt holes.

*2	Drive Plate Surface

Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension A between the transaxle contact surface of the engine and the torque converter contact surface of the drive plate.

Note

Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.

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.

INSPECT FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAK

CAUTION:

Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.

Note

Before performing each inspection, turn the A/C switch off.
1. Fill the radiator with coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.
2. Warm up the engine.
3. Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 137 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm², 20 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
  
  If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator and water pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.
INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. 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.
2. 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.
