Removal And Installation: Installation

WARNING:

Hoisting and jack lift points provided in this service information are for a complete vehicle. When the transaxle is removed, the center of gravity will shift to the rear of the vehicle, possibly creating an unstable condition. Place safety stands under the rear frame rails behind the rear axle to stabilize the vehicle. Personal injury may result if safety stands are not used.

NOTE:

If installing a new transmission, remove the shipping cap from the vent.

  1. Inspect the flexplate for damage. Install a new flexplate if necessary. Refer to FLEXPLATE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  2. Lightly grease the torque converter hub pocket in the end of the crankshaft.
    NOTE:

    The close tolerance torque converter bolt hole is oval shaped, and will aid in aligning the flexplate to the torque converter if the torque converter bolt is installed in this location first.

  3. Rotate the flexplate so the close tolerance bolt hole is at the six o'clock position.
  4. While guiding the transmission past obstacles, jack the transmission upward until the engine and the transmission are in line.
  5. Push the bell housing against the engine block until the guide pins engage.
    CAUTION:

    Ensure that the transmission bell housing and the engine block are flush before installing the bolts. Never utilize the mounting bolts to draw the transmission to the engine.
