1. Remove the auto transmission assembly referring
to the applicable workshop manual.

2. Remove the torque converter (A).

NOTE
Store the torque converter so that the ring gear
(B) faces up to prevent ATF leakage as shown on
the right image.

3. Remove the 22 bolts from the auto trans mission

and then remove the converter housing (C).

Tightening torque
: 27.5 ~ 34.3 Nm (2.8 ~ 3.5kgf.m, 20.3 ~ 25.3 lb-ft)

lb-ft)

7. Install the new differential (F) to the removed drive

gear (E).

NOTE
Use new bolt when installing the new differential
(F).

check below ;

- If the outer race is damaged, replace the outer

race with a new one.
- If the wearness of the spacer found, replace the
spacer with a new one.

9. Remove the differential oil seal (H) from the auto

transmission case.

below ;

- If the outer race is damaged, replace the outer

race with a new one.
- If the wearness of the spacer found, replace the
spacer with a new one.

23. Reinstall the auto transmission in reverse order
of removal.

NOTE
1) Transfer dust cover (T) and oil seal (U) should
be replaced with a new one referring to the
applicable workshop manual.

CAUTION)
1) Apply lithium type grease between seal lips.
2) Use SSTs when installing the oil seal referring
to the below pictures.

2) Clean the transfer spline and apply grease of

molybdenum type onto differential inner shaft
spline (V).

24. Install all the removed parts by reversing order of

removal. Replenish ATF and check ATF for level with
the vehicle on level ground.
