To eliminate the transmission, one has to unscrew the negative terminal of the battery and safely lift the car using the jack to place it on the stands, if the car uses Automatic Ride Control, its switch shall be off. Remove the transmission pan and dump its contents, replace it back in its rightful position. On the 4WD models, you have to take out the transfer case, and unscrew the starter, which you should then secure somewhere in order to access the torque converter head nuts. Paint one of the studs and the torque converter with white paint so that they would be easy to reconnect. Loosen the four torque converter-to- drive plate nuts, while turning the crankshaft anticlockwise to get better access. For the 2 wheel drive models, the driveshaft should be unbolted and the extension housing covered to reduce cases of moister and dirt penetration. Remove the speedometer cable from the VSS if there is a cable or pull out the electrical connector in case of electric VSS. Pull the transmission shift cable / kickdown cable out of the transmission, then unplug electrical connectors on the harness, stow the harness aside. Jack up the transmission by placing a transmission jack below the transmission and exert some pressure to lift it slightly and use chains to secure it to prevent any accidents. Eliminate the transmission mount and cross member; place jack under the engine and use a block of wood at the oil pan. Lower the engine and transmission slightly and unbolt the two transmission oil cooler lines and plug them. As for the lower transmission-to-engine bolts, and dipstick tube, then, they must be undone with the same manner of bolts that secure the tube to the cylinderhead. Safeguard the transmission on the jack and take off the two upper transmission to engine bolts. Slowly shift the transmission backward in order to come off the dowel pins on engine block; ensure that torque converter has come off the drive plate. To install, reverse the above process you have to ensure that the convert hub is tightly engaged in the pump gear and ensure that the bolt drive lugs and the drain plug are perfectly located in the drive plate holes. After this raise the transmission to a parallel position with the ground to ensure that the gears mesh together properly, align the hole in the drive plate with the stud with the help of the white marks that have been painted on the plate then slowly advance the transmission forward until it engages. Fit the numerous drive plate-to-converter nuts, using first one nut through the pilot hole and then fasten it, followed by the other nuts. Loosen the shift cable, decrease the height of the car, add the required type of the transmission fluid, start the engine, and examine the presence of any leakage.
