12. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS) from A/T assembly.

CAUTION:





- Never subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
- Never disassemble.
- Never allow metal filings, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
- Never place in an area affected by magnetism.
13. Remove starter motor. Refer to Removal and Replacement.
14. Remove rear plate cover. Refer to Removal and Installation.





15. Turn crankshaft, and remove the four tightening bolts for drive plate and torque converter.

CAUTION:
When turning the crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
16. Support A/T assembly with a transmission jack.

CAUTION:
When setting the transmission jack, be careful not to allow it to collide against the drain plug.

23. Disconnect fluid cooler tube from A/T assembly.
24. Plug up openings such as the A/T fluid charging pipe hole, etc.
25. Remove bolts fixing A/T assembly to engine assembly with power tool.





26. Remove A/T assembly from vehicle.

CAUTION:
- Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
- Secure A/T assembly to a transmission jack.

INSPECTION

Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter
- After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check distance "A" to ensure it is within the reference value limit.






Distance "A": 22.0 mm (0.87 in)


INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.





- When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.









- Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then, tighten the bolts with the specified torque. Refer to "COMPONENTS".

CAUTION:
- When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
- When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque converter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to Removal and Installation.
- After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding.
- Install crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to Removal and Installation.
- After completing installation, check A/T fluid leakage, A/T fluid level and A/T position. Refer to , 5AT RE5R05A.
