Installation

1. Prior to installing check that:
- mating surfaces between coupling flange and torque converter are clean and undamaged.
- dowel pins (D24 = guide sleeves) are in place in engine block (early type B27 = replace existing tubular pins with solid pins P/N 123 2544-5 and apply locking fluid).
- coupling flange is free from cracks and screw holes are not oval.
- coupling flange is not rusty or damaged.





2. Mount transmission on fixture P/N 5972.
3. Connect transmission to engine. Lightly grease torque converter guide and equivalent hole in crankshaft.
4. Install starter motor bolts (not diesel). B27/B28: adjust panel between starter motor and torque converter casing.
5. Install oil filler tube

CAUTION: Type of tube and dipstick depends on transmission type. If incorrect type is fitted oil level reading will be false.








6. Install torque converter retaining bolts hand tight. Tighten bolts crosswise to torque:
- B21-B23, B27, B28: 45 Nm (33 ft lb)
- D24: 22 Nm (16 ft lb)

NOTE: Replace 16 mm (early type) bolts with 14 mm (late type) ones to reduce risk of bolts shearing in torque converter.





7. Attach remaining parts. Refer to "Disconnecting Transmission".
Removal

Adjust gear shift linkage to position 2 (2nd notch from front) before connecting control rod. For more information refer to "Adjusting Shift Linkage".
Adjustments





8. Adjust linkage.





9. Connect and adjust kick-down cable to throttle pulley.
