INSTALL TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY
Note
Before installing the transmission control cable assembly, check that the park/neutral position switch and shift lever are in neutral.
Put the transmission control cable assembly into the cabin and connect the transmission control cable assembly with the 2 nuts.
Connect the transmission control cable clamp to the rear engine mounting insulator with the bolt.
Connect the transmission control cable assembly to the No. 1 transmission control cable bracket with a new clip.
Connect the transmission control cable assembly to the control shaft lever with the nut.
Turn the nut of the transmission control cable assembly 180° counterclockwise. While holding the nut in place, push in the stopper until the stopper clicks twice.
| *1 | Stopper | *2 | Nut |
| *a | Push in | - | - |
Install the outer part of the transmission control cable assembly to the shift lever assembly. Check that the spring is positioned at "A" and push in the stopper.
| *1 | Stopper | *2 | Nut |
| *3 | Shift Lever Assembly | *4 | Spring |
Tech Tips
If the stopper cannot be pushed in, slightly turn the nut clockwise and then push in the stopper again.
| *1 | Lock Piece |
| *a | Side View |
| *b | Bottom View |
| *c | Push |
Push the 2 claws together at the top of the transmission control cable lock piece. While holding the 2 claws together, push the 2 lugs on the bottom of the lock piece toward each other and upward to pull out the lock piece.
| *1 | Lock Piece |
|
MP grease |
Coat the end of the transmission control cable assembly with MP grease.
Connect the end of the transmission control cable assembly to the shift lever assembly.
Note
Make sure that the lock piece is pulled up.
Push on the end of the transmission control cable assembly all the way to the base of the pin.
| *1 | Lock Piece |
| *2 | Adjuster Case |
| *a | Push in |
Push the lock piece into the adjuster case.
Note
Securely push in the lock piece until it locks.
INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 1 HEAT INSULATOR
Install the front floor No. 1 heat insulator with the 3 nuts.
INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 2 HEAT INSULATOR
Install the front floor No. 2 heat insulator with the 3 nuts.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Minimum Free Length |
|---|
| 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | Gasket |
| *2 | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold.
Note
Be sure to install the gasket so that it faces the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket.
When connecting the exhaust pipe, do not push in the gasket with the exhaust pipe.
Install the 3 exhaust pipe supports, and then install the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR
Attach the clamp.
Connect the connector.
INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER
Install the under cover with the 4 clips.
INSTALL FRONT FLOOR CENTER BRACE
Install the floor brace with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL AIR CLEANER CASE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install the air cleaner case with the 3 bolts.
Attach the wire harness clamp to the air cleaner case.
INSTALL AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
INSTALL AIR CLEANER CAP SUB-ASSEMBLY
Connect the air cleaner cap with the band.
Connect the PCV hose.
Connect the 2 clamps.
Attach the 2 clamps and connect the wire harness.
Connect the mass air flow meter connector.
INSTALL NO. 2 CYLINDER HEAD COVER
Attach the 4 clips to install the cover.
Note
Be sure to attach the clips securely.
Do not apply excessive force or hit the cover to attach the clips. This may cause the cover to break.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
When moving the shift lever from P to R with the ignition switch ON and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and correctly into position.
Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D and moves in reverse after moving the shift lever to R.
If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
Apply the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
Disconnect the end of the transmission control cable assembly from the shift lever assembly.
| *1 | Stopper |
| *2 | Nut |
Pull out the stopper of the transmission control cable assembly.
Note
Do not remove the stopper. If the stopper is removed, reinstall it to its original position.
Rotate the nut counterclockwise approximately 180° and, while holding the nut in that position, disconnect the transmission control cable assembly from the shift lever assembly.
Note
Do not over-rotate the nut as it will come off the internal spring and the transmission control cable assembly will not be reusable.
