When fitting a new gearbox, transfer the holder 87 92 277 for the torque converter from the new gearbox to the old one. Also, transfer the front engine mounting and selector lever cable mounting from the old gearbox to the new one.

1. Turn the torque converter so that the bolt holes line up with the holes in the drive plate.
2. Make sure the two guide sleeves are fitted on the engine. Lubricate the sleeves with a thin layer of anti-corrosion oil.

   Fit new drive shaft seals, lubricate the seals.

3. Attach the lifting tool MKM-886, part no. 87 92 608. Adjust the tool, if its setting has been changed since removal, so that it is centered on the lifting lug on top of the gearbox and tighten it to the gearbox.
