caution
  • When the transmission assembly is replaced, save the vehicle identification number and perform the variant coding.
  • When the transmission control cable is disconnected, check after the installation that the cable is properly connected, and that the parking lock mechanism operates normally. At this time, do not check by simply using the display on the combination meter and shift indicator panel. Always check according to the procedure below.

    • With the P range, the vehicle does not move on a slight slope or when pushed by hands.
    • When driving at 5 km/h or less, the vehicle stops when the shift lever is moved to the P range.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> STRUT TOWER BAR REMOVAL
After removing the strut tower bar, temporarily install the strut assembly.

<<B>> TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR REMOVAL

Rotate the section A of the connector 90° to the direction of the arrow to disconnect the connector.

<<C>> STARTER MOUNTING BOLT REMOVAL
Remove the starter with its connector connected. Keep the starter fixed to the engine side.

<<D>> TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY UPPER PART COUPLING BOLT REMOVAL
Only loosen the bolts from the engine and transmission assembly (do not remove).

<<E>> TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BRACKET REMOVAL
1.Place a garage jack against the transmission case with a piece of wood in between to support the engine and transmission assembly.
2.Operate the garage jack so that the engine and transmission assembly weight is not applied to the transmission mounting insulator, and remove the transmission mounting bracket.

<<F>> ENGINE ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING

1.Remove the vacuum pipe assembly (refer to GROUP 14 - Water Hose and Water Pipe ), and install the engine hanger plate (Special tool: MB992201), then tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 11± 1 N·m


2.<When engine hanger (special tool MB991928) is used>
(1) Assemble the engine hanger (special tool MB991928). (Set following parts to the base hanger.)

  • Slide bracket (HI)
  • Foot x 4 (standard) (MB991932)
  • Joint x 2 (90) (MB991930)
(2) Set the feet of the special tool as shown in the figure.
note Adjust the engine hanger balance by sliding the slide bracket (HI).
(3) Set the chain to the engine hanger plate (Special tool: MB992201) to support the engine and transmission assembly. Remove the garage jack, and then remove the transmission assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.


3.<Engine mechanical hanger (special tool MB991895) is used>
(1) Set the feet of the engine mechanical hanger (special tool MB991895) as shown in the figure.
note Slide the front foot of the engine mechanical hanger (Special tool: MB991895) to balance the engine hanger.
(2) Set the chain to the engine hanger plate (Special tool: MB992201) to support the engine and transmission assembly. Remove the garage jack, and then remove the transmission assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< O-RING/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

Apply the specified grease to the flywheel spline section, O-ring, and spline section of transmission assembly input shaft.
Grease
Brand name: Molykote BR2-Plus

>>B<< TRANSMISSION MOUNTING INSULATOR STOPPER INSTALLATION

Install the transmission mounting insulator stopper as shown in the figure.

>>C<< TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE INSTALLATION
1.Set the shift lever to the N position.

2.Operate the lever so that the shift control lever positioning mark is set to the N position.

3.Move the slider of the transmission control cable (transmission side) tip to the direction A to pull up the lock piece to the direction B.

4.Align the transmission control cable and the shift control lever joint (positioning only, do not connect), and firmly push down the lock piece to lock it. Then, connect the transmission control cable and the shift control lever.
note
