Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Engine, Installing
- Engine mounted on engine/transmission support T10012.
Installation is performed in the reverse of removal, noting the following:
During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.
Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type.
During assembly, replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
Always replace bolts that are tightened to torque as well as O-rings and gaskets.
Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plates) clean hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant on splines. Then move the clutch plate back and forth on the input shaft, until the hub can be easily moved on the shaft. Remove all excess grease.
-- Make sure alignment sleeves for engine to transmission are installed in cylinder block. Install if necessary.
-- Make sure that the intermediate plate is hooked in at the sealing flange and is pushed onto the alignment sleeves -arrows-.
-- Check clutch release bearing for wear and replace if necessary.
-- Bolt transmission to engine.
Tightening specifications only apply to lightly greased, oiled, phosphate or blackened nuts and bolts.
Additional lubricants, such as engine or transmission oil are permissible, although lubricants containing graphite are not.
Do not use any degreased parts.
Tolerance for tightening specifications 15%.
