7. Install the rear transmission mount on the transmission housing. Torque its bolts to 65 N.m (6.5 kg-m, 47 lb-ft).
8. Install the engine torque bracket on the transmission housing. Torque its bolts to 45 N.m (14.5 kg-m, 33 lb-ft).




9. Loosely install the bolts for the front transmission mount, then torque them in the sequence shown.
10. Install the starter mounting bolts and torque to 45 N.m (14.5 kg-m, 33 lb-ft).
11. Turn right steering knuckle/axle assembly outward far enough to insert free end of axle into transmission. Repeat on opposite side.

CAUTION: Make sure that axles fully bottom. Slide axle in until you feel spring clips engage differential.

12. Reconnect the shift rod and shift lever torque rod.
13. Reconnect the lower arm ball joints and torque to 45 N.m (4.5 kg-m, 33 lb-ft).
14. Reconnect the tie-rod end ball joints and torque to 45 N.m (4.5 kg-m, 33 lb-ft).
15. Install the engine and wheelwell splash shields.
