CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INSTALLATION
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure from the distance from the installed surface of the transmission housing to the installed surface of the torque converter clutch.

Correct distance: More than 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)

If the distance is less than the standard, check for an improper installation.
INSTALL TRANSMISSION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal (See REMOVAL ).

1. Adjust the shift lever position (See PRE-CHECK ).
2. Fill ATF and check fluid level (See PRE-CHECK ).
3. Do the road test (See PRE-CHECK ).
4. Fill with engine coolant (See REPLACEMENT ).
