Installation of the automatic transmission
When installing the automatic transmission, it is necessary to replace the torque converter mounting nuts
We check the presence of installation bushings (7) figure 7
We check the position of the torque converter in relation to the plane of connection of the engine with the gearbox.
We use a ruler for this, the value should be within (X) = 18.22 mm ± 1.
Before installing the gearbox, install the torque converter bolts opposite the holes in the drive disk.
Tighten to the required torque:
- - gearbox mounting bolts and nuts – 44 Nm
- - torque converter mounting nuts – 24 Nm.
Assemble all units and parts in the reverse order.
