WARNING: Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected at least 90 seconds before

working on vehicle to prevent air bag deployment.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems

may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer
systems have completed a relearn cycle.

Installation
1. Before installing transaxle, use dial indicator to check drive plate runout. Drive plate runout should be
checked right next to the starter ring gear on the drive plate. Replace drive plate if runout
exceeds .0079" (.200 mm).
2. Install torque converter on transaxle. To ensure torque converter is fully seated, torque converter depth
should be checked. Using straightedge and caliper, measure torque converter depth from torque converter
bolt lug on torque converter to the surface on transaxle. See Fig. 1 .
3. Torque converter depth should be more than .539" (13.70 mm). If torque converter depth is less than
specified, check for improperly seated torque converter.
4. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all bolts/nuts to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS . When installing torque converter bolts, apply Loctite to torque converter bolt
threads before installing. Ensure the Dark Green (1997 models) or Black (1998 models) torque converter
bolt is installed first before installing the remaining torque converter bolts.
5. Use NEW gaskets and NEW nuts when installing front exhaust pipe. Adjust all cables and fill with ATF.
