1. Place the transmission on a transmission
jack.
2. Install a headless guide bolt into one of the 12
threaded holes for flexible plate attaching
screws in the flywheel.
3. Lubricate the flywheel center pilot boss with
molybdenum disulfide grease (Molycote G, or
equivalent).
4. Raise transmission and position the flywheel
pilot boss into the flexible plate adapter. Align
the guide bolt previously installed in the
flywheel with the flexible plate hole facing the
access opening in the flywheel housing.
DANGER
Severe damages and/or personal injury can
occur if transmission is not adequately
supported.
5. Seat the transmission against the engine
flywheel housing. NO FORCE IS
REQUIRED. If interference is encountered,
move the transmission away from engine,
then investigate the cause.
CAUTION
The torque converter housing must be seated
against the flywheel housing prior to tightening
any screws. DO NOT USE SCREWS TO SEAT
THE HOUSING.
6. Start all torque converter housing screws,
and then tighten four of them gradually and in
a criss-cross sequence around the housing.
Tighten the 12 remaining screws.
Recommended torque is between 42-50 lbf-ft
(57-68 Nm).
7. Remove the guide bolt through the access
opening in the flywheel housing. Replace it
with a self-locking screw, finger-tighten then
start the remaining screws; tighten to 17-21
lbf-ft (23-28 Nm).
Detroit Diesel Series 60 Engine Only
Place a wrench on the crankshaft pulley
attaching screw to turn the converter to gain
access to the threaded holes.
Reinstall the access plug.
Volvo D13 Engine Only
Remove the plug located below starter motor and
install cranking tool (88800014). Crank the engine
to gain access to the threaded holes by turning
the cranking tool using a suitable adapter (Refer
to fig. 11).
Reinstall starter motor and connect cables.
Reinstall access plug below starter motor.
8. Remove jack from under transmission.
9. Connect all sensors.
10. Connect the main wiring harness.
11. Connect the air supply line (steel-braided
hose) to the retarder control valve (if
applicable).

hoses as they were previously.
13. Reinstall clamps and brackets, and replace
locking ties previously removed during
removal procedure.
14. Install propeller shaft and its safety guard.
Refer to Section 09, "PROPELLER SHAFT".
15. Install transmission dipstick and filler tube.
16. Install cross member under transmission.
17. Install engine splash guards.
18. Adjust the retarder pressure to 80 ± 3 psi with
the air pressure regulator. For more
information refer to Section 12, "BRAKE AND
AIR SYSTEM", under heading "AIR
PRESSURE REGULATOR". The air pressure
regulator is located near the Webasto in
engine compartment, on R.H. side (Fig. 13).
19. Make sure that the drain plug is in place, and
then remove the transmission dipstick and
pour approximately 24 US quarts (23 L) of
automatic transmission fluid through the filler
tube. Check and adjust oil level.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling can
cause oil aeration (milky appearance) and
overheating. If overfilling occurs, drain oil as
required to bring it to the proper level.
