Automatic transmission
1. Remove the starter.
2. Remove the coupling shaft bracket bolts. The coupling shaft must remain inserted into the transmission or the differential will drop into the transmission housing.
3. Remove the transmission torque converter protective cover.
4. Using a large screwdriver, engage the starter ring gear teeth and remove the torque converter mounting bolt by rotating the crankshaft pulley with a wrench on the pulley bolt to engage each bolt.
5. Remove the transmission-to-engine mounting bolts.
6. Insert a large screwdriver between the engine and transmission to separate them, working around the clutch housing until the transmission can be removed. Have an assistant clamp the coupling shaft into the transmission as it is removed from the engine to ensure the differentials are in place.
7. Assembly is carried out in reverse order. Tighten the torque converter mounting bolt to the tightening torque specified in the Specification (Section 7, Part B, Specifications).
Manual transmission
8. Remove the starter.
9. Remove the coupling shaft bracket bolts.
10. Remove the transmission-to-engine mounting bolts.
11. Remove the transmission from the engine. Have an assistant clamp the primary shaft in the transmission - see Step 6. Do not allow the transmission to press on the primary shaft, as this may damage it.
12. When reconnecting the connections, make sure that the clutch centering is accurate (Section 8, Chapter 5). Apply grease to the grooves of the primary chamber shaft.
13. Install the transmission onto the engine, have an assistant clamp the connecting shaft again. If the primary shaft does 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 coupling shaft bracket bolts to the starter.
