Removal and Installation (4WD): Installation

Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal, while paying attention to the following:

• When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts as shown.

  Transmission to engine bolts: 113 N.m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb) 

  NOTE: *: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
  CAUTION:

  • When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly during reassembly.
  • Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.

• Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then tighten the bolts with the specified torque.
  CAUTION:

  • When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
  • After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates freely without binding.
