REMOVAL
1. Remove negative battery terminal. Refer to SC-4, "BATTERY" .
2. Remove A/T finisher. Refer to IP-13, "
A/T FINISHER" .
3. Disconnect selector control cable.
4. Disconnect A/T device harness connector.
5. Remove control device assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in reverse order of removal. Be careful of the following:

After installation is completed, adjust and check A/T position.
Adjustment of A/T PositionECS00EO0
1. Loosen nut of control cable.
2. Place PNP switch and selector lever in “P” position.
3. After pushing the control cable in the direction shown with a force of 9.8 N ·m (1kg-m, 2.2 lb-ft), release it. This is in the natu-
ral state, tighten control cable nut to specifications.
Checking of A/T PositionECS00EO1
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON
(engine stop).
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” posi-
tion when brake pedal is depressed. Also make sure selector
lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is
depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the positions. Check
whether or not the actual position the selector lever is in
matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and
the transmission body.
5. The method of operating the lever to individual positions correctly should be as shown.
6. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up
lamps does not illuminate when selector lever is pushed against “R” position in the “P” or “N” position.
7. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in the “P” and “N” positions.
8. Make sure transmission is locked completely in “P” position.

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

When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts as shown.
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 re-
assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may
cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain com-
ponents.

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.

Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).

After completing installation check fluid leakage, fluid level and
the positions of A/T. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)" , AT- 2 2 7 , "Checking
of A/T Position" and AT- 2 2 7 , "Adjustment of A/T Position" .
