Note. The automatic transmission cannot be removed while the engine is in the vehicle. The drive axle in a block with an automatic transmission can only be separated from the engine after the entire power unit, consisting of the engine, automatic transmission and subframe, has been removed from the vehicle. This is a dangerous and complicated procedure that requires a lift. Therefore, it is advisable for you to contact a workshop equipped to perform this work.
Withdrawal
1. Remove the power unit with subframe from the vehicle (see chapter 2, part 2.3, section 5).
2. Remove the torque converter cover.
3. Mark the relative position of the torque converter and flywheel with white paint to install in the same position.
4. Turn away bolts of fastening of the hydrotransformer to a flywheel. Turn the crankshaft by the pulley bolt so that all the torque converter mounting bolts are accessible.
5. Turn away bolts of fastening of a transmission to the engine.
6. Release a transmission from bolts and nuts.
7. Move the transmission back to release it from the engine locating pins, making sure the torque converter disengages from the flywheel. Attach the torque converter to the gearbox so that it does not fall out during removal.
8. Remove a transmission from the engine.
Installation
9. Before installing, make sure that the torque converter sleeve is tightly connected to the pump. Lubricate the torque converter hub with multipurpose grease.
10. Establish a transmission on a former place. Try to keep the box horizontal so that the torque converter does not slip off the box.
11. Rotate the torque converter until the bolt holes line up with the holes on the flywheel. The mark made with white paint on the torque converter will help to correctly install the flywheel relative to it (see point 3).
12. Move the transmission forward until the dowel pins are in place in the torque converter.
13. Insert bolts of fastening of a box to the engine and tighten them.
14. Insert bolts of fastening of the hydrotransformer to a flywheel. Tighten these bolts to the torque specified at the beginning of this chapter.
15. Reinstall the torque converter cover.
16. After the gearbox and subframe are installed (see chapter 2, part 2.3, section 5), connect the fluid cooling pipes and adjust the shifter connection (see section 5).
17. Fill fluid into the gearbox (see chapter 1), drive the vehicle and check for fluid leakage.
