1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
3. Drain the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [SJ6A-EL].)
4. Loosen the starter installation bolts only enough that the starter is loose, but not removed. (See STARTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
5. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
7. Add ATF and, with the engine idling, inspect the ATF level and inspect for leakage. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) LEVEL ADJUSTMENT [SJ6A-EL].)
8. Inspect selector lever operation. (See SELECTOR LEVER INSPECTION.)
9. Inspect for leakage of ATF from all connecting points.
10. Perform the mechanical system test. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [SJ6A-EL].)

1. Mark the manual shaft lever component as shown in the figure.
2. Remove the manual shaft lever component installation nut.
1. Lock the drive plate using a flathead screwdriver as shown in the figure.
2. Remove the torque converter installation nuts using a SST.
1. Support the transmission using a transmission jack.
2. Remove the power plant frame.
1. Install the SST to the output shaft.
2. Insert a slab of wood behind the differential and remove the propeller shaft.
WARNING:
Verify that the transmission is securely supported by the jack. If the transmission falls, serious injury or death and damage to the vehicle could result. Before removing the transmission make sure that the jack is securely supporting the transmission.
CAUTION:
To prevent the torque converter and transmission from separating, remove the transmission without tilting it toward the torque converter.
1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.
2. Remove the transmission installation bolt.
WARNING:
Verify that the transmission is securely supported by the jack. If the transmission falls, serious injury or death and damage to the vehicle could result. Before removing the transmission make sure that the jack is securely supporting the transmission.
CAUTION:

1. Support the transmission securely using a transmission jack.
2. Tighten the transmission installation bolts and nuts.
Tightening torque
37—52 N·m {3.8—5.3 kgf·m, 28—38 ft·lbf}
1. Support the transmission and differential so that they are level using a transmission jack.
2. Install the power plant frame.
3. Temporarily tighten the nuts 1, 2, 3 in order shown in the figure.
4. Tighten nut 2 until the power plant frame is seated in the rear differential.
5. Temporarily tighten the nuts 4, 5 in order shown in the figure.
6. Install the middle pipe and tunnel member.
7. Raise the front end of the power plant frame (transmission side) or the transmission with the transmission jack, and adjust dimension A to 26.7—34.7 mm {1.06—1.36 in} (lower surface of power plant frame-upper surface of the tunnel member) as shown in the figure.
8. Tighten the power plant frame installation nuts.Tightening torque
126—154 N·m {12.9—15.7 kgf·m, 93.0—113.5 ft·lbf}
9. Verify that dimension A is within the specification with the transmission jack and the adjustment bolt removed.
If not within the specification, adjust dimension A again.
1. Align the holes by turning the torque converter.
2. Lock the drive plate using a flathead screwdriver.CAUTION:
Loosely and equally tighten the torque converter nuts, then further tighten them to the specified tightening torque.
3. Tighten the torque converter installation nuts.
Tightening torque
34—49 N·m {3.5—4.9 kgf·m, 26—36 ft·lbf}
1. Align the mark of the manual shaft lever component as shown in the figure.
2. Install the manual shaft lever component installation nut.Tightening torque
