Removal
1
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2 If you’re working on a 4WD model, remove the knob from the transfer
case shift lever.
3 Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands.
4 Drain the transmission fluid (see Chapter l), then reinstall the pan.
5 Remove the torque converter cover.
6 Mark the relationship of the torque converter to one of the studs so
theycan be installed in the same position (see illustration).
7 Remove the torque converter-to-driveplate nuts. Turn the crankshaft

tions on the following page).
12 Remove any exhaust components which will interfere with transmis-
sion removal (see Chapter 4).
13 Disconnect the throttle control linkage rod or cable.
14 Disconnect the shift linkage.
15 Support the engine with a jack. Use a block of wood under the oil pan
to spread the load.
8.6 Mark the relationship of the torque converter to
the driveplate
16 Support the transmission with a jack- preferably a jack made for this
purpose. Safety chains will help steady the transmission on the jack.
17 Remove the rear mount to crossmember bolts and the two cross-
member-to-frame bolts.
18 Remove the two engine rear support-to-transmission extension
housing bolts.
19 Raise the transmission enough to allow removal of the crossmember.

sion fluid cooler lines.
22 Remove the transmission dipstick tube.
23 Move the transmission to the rear to disengage it from the engine
blockdowel pins and make sure the torque converter is detached from the
driveplate. Secure the torque converter to the transmission so it won’t fall
out during removal.
Ins talla tion
24 Prior to installation, make sure the torque converter hub is securely
engaged in the pump.
25 With the transmission secured to the jack, raise it into position. Be
sure to keep it level so the torque converter does not slide forward.
26 Turn the torque converter to line up the studs with the holes in the
driveplate. The mark on the torque converter and the stud made in Step 5
must line up.
27 Move the transmission forward carefully until the dowel pins and the
torque converter are engaged.
28 Install the transmission housing-to-engine bolts. Tighten them se-
curely.
29 Install the torque converter-to-driveplate nuts. Tighten the nuts to the
