PROCEDURE
INSTALL TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
| *a | Matchmark |
| *b | Key |
Turn the front oil pump drive gear so that either key is at the top and place a matchmark on the transaxle housing to indicate the position of the key.
| *a | Groove |
| *b | Matchmark |
Place a matchmark on the torque converter assembly so that the position of its groove is clearly indicated.
| *1 | Front Oil Pump Oil Seal |
| *a | Matchmark |
Align the matchmark on the torque converter assembly with the one on the transaxle housing and engage the splines of the input shaft with the turbine runner splines.
Note
Install the torque converter assembly to the input shaft while keeping it horizontal.
Do not damage the front oil pump oil seal.
| *1 | Front Oil Pump Oil Seal |
| *a | Matchmark |
Rotate the torque converter assembly approximately 180° and engage the splines of the stator shaft with the stator assembly.
Note
Do not push the torque converter assembly excessively when rotating it.
Install the torque converter assembly to the input shaft while keeping it horizontal.
Do not damage the front oil pump oil seal.
| *1 | Front Oil Pump Oil Seal |
| *a | Matchmark |
Rotate the torque converter assembly approximately 180° again, align the matchmark on the torque converter assembly with the one on the transaxle housing and insert the keys of the front oil pump drive gear into the grooves of the torque converter assembly.
Note
Do not push the torque converter assembly excessively when rotating it.
Install the torque converter assembly to the input shaft while keeping it horizontal.
Do not damage the front oil pump oil seal.
Clean the drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolt holes.
| *a | Engine Assembly Surface |
| *b | Drive Plate and Ring Gear Sub-assembly Surface |
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure the dimension (A) between the automatic transaxle assembly contact surface of the engine assembly*a and the torque converter assembly contact surface of the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly*b.
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure the dimension (B) shown in the illustration and check that the dimension (B) is more than the dimension (A), which was measured in the previous step.
| Standard |
|---|
| Dimension (A) + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more |
Note
Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
If the automatic transaxle assembly is installed to the engine assembly with the torque converter assembly not sufficiently inserted, the torque converter assembly may be damaged.
Do not include the thickness of the set block.
INSTALL TRANSMISSION BREATHER SKIRT
Install the transmission breather skirt to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly with the bolt.
Engage the 3 clamps to install the transmission breather plug.
INSTALL NO. 2 TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE BRACKET
Install the No. 2 transmission control cable bracket to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly with the bolt.
INSTALL REAR ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET
Install the rear engine mounting bracket to the transaxle housing with the 3 bolts.
INSTALL ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET LH
Install the engine mounting bracket LH to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly with the 4 bolts.
Engage the transmission breather clamp to the engine mounting bracket LH.
INSTALL AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Crankshaft |
| *2 | Torque Converter Assembly Centerpiece |
|
Clutch Spline Grease |
Apply clutch spline grease to the surface of the crankshaft that contacts the torque converter assembly centerpiece.
| Clutch Spline Grease |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent |
| Maximum Grease Amount |
|---|
| Approximately 1 g (0.0353 oz) |
| *1 | Knock Pin |
Confirm that the knock pins are installed to the engine assembly and are not damaged.
While keeping the engine assembly and automatic transaxle assembly horizontal, align the knock pins with the holes in the automatic transaxle assembly and install the automatic transaxle assembly with the 11 bolts shown in the illustration.
Note
Confirm that the knock pins are installed to the automatic transaxle assembly contact surface of the cylinder block sub-assembly before installing the automatic transaxle assembly.
Do not forcibly pry on the automatic transaxle assembly.
Check that the torque converter assembly rotates.
Tech Tips
Bolt LengthBolt (A): 55 mm (2.17 in.)
Bolt (B): 50 mm (1.97 in.)
Bolt (C): 41 mm (1.61 in.)
Bolt (D): 33 mm (1.30 in.)
INSTALL STARTER ASSEMBLY
INSTALL FRONT ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET
Install the front engine mounting bracket to the transaxle housing with the 3 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY
INSTALL STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 STABILIZER BRACKET LH
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 STABILIZER BRACKET RH
Tech Tips
Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
INSTALL NO. 2 VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY
INSTALL ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE
CONNECT WIRE HARNESS
Connect the wire harness to the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly with the bolt.
Connect the transmission wire connector and park/neutral position switch assembly connector.
INSTALL DRIVE PLATE AND TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY SETTING BOLT
Remove any adhesive remaining the 6 drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolts.
| *a | Adhesive |
Apply a few drops of adhesive to 2 or 3 threads at the tip of each of the 6 drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolts.
| Adhesive |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1324, Three Bond 1324 or equivalent |
Note
Make sure to install the 6 drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolts immediately after applying adhesive to prevent foreign matter from attaching to them.
Turn the crankshaft to gain access to the installation locations of the 6 drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolts and install each drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolt while holding the crankshaft pulley bolt with a wrench.
Note
First install the black colored drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolt, and then the remaining 5 silver colored drive plate and torque converter assembly setting bolts.
INSTALL FLYWHEEL HOUSING UNDER COVER
CHECK AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM
Note
If automatic transaxle parts have been replaced, refer to Parts Replacement Compensation Table to determine if any additional operations are necessary.
