Bolt class 10.9, the steel bolt may be used again unlimited number of times.
The aluminum bolts -2 to 11- may be used twice (See Fig 4).
The aluminum bolts may be used twice. Therefore, the bolts must be marked with two notches "X" made by a chisel after they have be used the first time -arrow- (See Fig 5).

⁽¹⁾	To prevent damaging the bolts when marking them, do not clamp them in a vise. Insert the bolt using a 14 mm socket with a 1/2 drive, which is inserted in to the vise, as illustrated (See Fig 5).

The aluminum bolts -2 to 11- may be used twice. Therefore, the bolts must be marked with two notches "X" made by a chisel after they have been used the first time -arrow-.

Bolts marked with an "X" may not be used again.

Procedure

NOTE:

Replace the bolts which are being tightened with an additional turn.

Replace self-locking nuts and bolts and seals, gaskets and O-rings.

The drive plate in the vehicles with the automatic transmission 0B6 must not have any needle bearings. Check if a needle bearing is inserted before installing. Remove the needle bearing in the drive plate, refer to NEEDLE BEARING IN DRIVE PLATE, REPLACING .

Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory .

In order to be able to securely mount the air guide hoses on their connectors, spray the screws on the previously used clamps with a rust remover.

When installing, bring all cable ties back to same positions.

-- When jointing the engine and subframe, hold the ATF lines in their installation position.

-- Clean the threaded holes in the cylinder block for connecting the engine and transmission using a thread tap before installing the transmission.

-- The following preparations must be made before connecting the engine and transmission:

-- Turn the torque converter so that hole next to the notch -arrow- is visible in the lower cut-out in the transmission housing as illustrated.

NOTE:

There is only 1 notch on the circumference; rotate the torque converter as needed.

-- Insert the Clutch Module Transportation Lock T40170 in the transmission housing from below and secure it on the flange shaft -1-.

-- Inspect the aluminum bolts used to connect the engine to the transmission to see if they can be used again and mark them, if necessary, refer to ENGINE, INSTALLING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 0B6 - The aluminum bolts -2 to 11- may be used twice. Therefore, the bolts must be marked with two notches "X" made by a chisel after they have been used the first time -arrow-..

-- Check if the alignment sleeves -A- for centering the engine/transmission are in the cylinder block and insert them if they are not.
