Attention! The engine is removed from the car only with a gearbox.
Removal is carried out in the same way as removal of an engine with a manual transmission, except for the following differences.
Removing
1. Use a lever to remove the cable ball joint from the selector lever. Remove the bracket for attaching the cable to the gearbox mounting bracket.
2. Trace the wiring back from the multifunction switch to the connector. Separate the connector from the bracket and disconnect it.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness at the large connector adjacent to the transmission cooling system.
4. Clamp the cooling system hoses with clamps.
5. Remove both coolant hoses from the cooler.
6. Disconnect the connector from the bracket above the cooler and remove it.
7. Disconnect the ground wire connecting the gearbox to the body.
8. Remove the bracket supporting the hoses from the gearbox.
9. Remove the connector from the speedometer drive converter and remove the speed sensor from the flywheel housing.
10. Remove the starter.
11. Tag and disconnect the remaining connectors associated with the gearbox.
Separation of the gearbox from the engine
1. Install the power unit on the appropriate bars.
2. Turn the crankshaft by the crankshaft pulley bolt until one of the torque converter mounting bolts appears in the starter mounting hole.
3. Unscrew the torque converter mounting bolt and, turning the crankshaft, unscrew the two remaining torque converter mounting bolts.
4. Unscrew bolts of fastening of a case of a transmission to the engine.
5. Slide the gearbox away from the engine and insert a bolt and washer through the RPM sensor hole into the flywheel housing to keep the torque converter on the gearbox.
Preparing for installation
1. To prepare for installation, a simple tool must be made to align the torque converter with the drive plate. The tool is a torque converter mounting bolt, only of great length, with a cut head and with a groove for a screwdriver at the end.
2. Rotate the engine crankshaft so that one of the torque converter mounting holes is aligned with the starter mounting hole. Screw the tool into one of the torque converter mounting holes. Rotate the torque converter so that the alignment tool is in the correct position relative to the starter mounting hole. Because the gearbox is installed, the alignment tool will pass through the mounting bolt hole in the drive plate and through the starter mounting hole. This tool can then be unscrewed with a screwdriver and the first torque converter mounting bolt can be installed in its place.
3. Check that the guide pins are installed in the engine block or gearbox housing.
Connecting the gearbox to the engine
1. Installation is made in sequence, return to removal. In doing so, the following points should be kept in mind:
- set the gearbox in such a position that the alignment tool passes through the drive plate and the hole for installing the starter;
- remove the bolt from the speed sensor hole;
- after bolting the gearbox to the engine, remove the alignment tool and screw in the first torque converter mounting bolt.
2. Turn the crankshaft and screw in the remaining two bolts.
Installation
1. Install starter and bolt on.
2. Install the power unit in the engine compartment of the car.
3. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
