Removing
1. Remove the battery box to install the battery.
2. Remove the air filter housing and intake pipe system.
3. Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands. Remove the front wheel and wheel arch protection. Remove the mudguard from under the engine.
4. Drain the gearbox oil and replace the drain plug.
5. Remove the brake pad wear warning light harness from the brackets and move it to the side.
6. Using a lever, remove the cable ball joint from the selector lever on the multifunction transmission switch. Remove the bracket for attaching the cable to the installation suspension on the gearbox.
7. Trace the wiring back from the multifunction switch to the connector, disconnect the connector and remove the wiring from the support bracket on the transmission.
8. Disconnect the large harness connector near the cooler on the transmission.
9. Using clamps, pinch both coolant supply hoses to the cooler.
10. Remove both coolant supply hoses to the cooler.
11. Disconnect the connector from the support hanger above the cooler and remove the support hanger.
12. Disconnect the ground bar from the gearbox.
13. Remove the wiring harness hanger and hose support hanger from the transmission.
14. Disconnect the wiring from the speedometer drive sensor and the speed sensor, then remove the speed sensor from the gearbox.
15. Unscrew the starter mounting bolts and move the starter to the side without disconnecting the electrical wiring.
16. Disconnect any remaining electrical wiring connectors.
17. Remove both drive shafts.
18. From under the car, unscrew the bolts securing the support to the intermediate bearing housing of the drive shaft and the lower frame.
19. Unscrew bolts of fastening of a pipe of a steering drive with the amplifier to a transmission.
20. Remove the front suspension lower frame.
21. Use the winch to raise the engine on the left side until the weight of the engine rests on the winch.
22. Using the second winch, lift the gearbox by the ear located next to the cooler. The automatic transmission weighs over 90 kg.
23. Turn the engine crankshaft until one of the torque converter mounting bolts is visible through the starter mounting hole.
24. Unscrew the accessible torque converter bolt, rotate the crankshaft as needed, and unscrew the remaining two bolts.
25. Unscrew the central nut of the left suspension support of the power unit. Unscrew the two bolts and remove the rubber pad from the unit suspension.
26. Remove the bolts securing the gearbox housing to the engine.
27. Move the gearbox to the left and remove its guide pins. After sufficient clearance has been achieved, bolt the torque converter to the gearbox through the RPM sensor hole.
28. Lower the engine and transmission and remove the transmission from under the vehicle.
Preparing for installation
1. Before reinstalling, a simple tool must be made to align the torque converter with the drive plate. The tool is a bolt, the same as the torque converter mounting bolt, but with an elongated head that must protrude from the starter mounting hole after the transmission is in place.
2. Turn the engine crankshaft so that one of the torque converter mounting bolt holes in the drive plate is opposite the starter mounting hole. Secure the torque converter with the previously made long head bolt, which will be unscrewed through the starter hole after the gearbox is installed on the engine.
3. Check that the torque converter support bush located in the center of the crankshaft is in good condition.
4. Make sure the drive pins are in place.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following points:
- set the gearbox in a position that allows the passage of a special torque converter mounting bolt through the hole for installing the starter;
- after fixing the gearbox to the cylinder block, unscrew the special torque converter mounting bolt and screw in the standard torque converter mounting bolt in its place. Turn the crankshaft and screw in the remaining two torque converter mounting bolts;
- install the front suspension lower frame;
- install drive shafts;
- tighten the nuts and bolts to the required torque;
- add oil to the gearbox;
- add coolant to the cooling system.
