Automatic transmission
1. Remove the starter.
2. Remove the connecting shaft bracket bolts. The connecting shaft must remain inserted into the transmission or the differential will sink into the transmission housing.
3. Remove the protective cover of the transmission torque converter.
4. Use a large screwdriver to connect the teeth of the starter ring gear and remove the torque converter mounting bolt by rotating the crankshaft pulley with a wrench on the pulley bolt to insert each bolt into place.
5. Remove the bolts securing the transmission to the engine.
6. Insert a large screwdriver between the engine and transmission to separate them, working around the clutch housing until the transmission can be removed. Get a helper to clamp the connecting shaft into the transmission as it is being removed from the engine to make sure the differentials are in place.
7. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order. Tighten the torque converter fixing bolt to the specified tightening torque (Section 7, Part B, Specifications).
Mechanical transmission
8. Remove the starter.
9. Remove the connecting shaft bracket bolts.
10. Remove the bolts securing the transmission to the engine.
11. Remove transmission from the engine. Have an assistant clamp the connecting shaft into the transmission - see point 6. Do not allow the transmission to press on the primary chamber shaft, this may cause damage.
12. When reconnecting, make sure the clutch centering is accurate (Section 8, Chapter 5). Apply grease to the primary chamber shaft grooves.
13. Install the transmission on the engine, again invite the assistant to clamp the connecting shaft. If the primary shaft will not engage, rock the transmission or rotate the crankshaft slightly to engage the grooves. Support the transmission while it is on the pins so that its weight does not press on the primary shaft.
14. Install the transmission-to-engine mounting bolts and the connecting shaft bracket bolts to the starter.
