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.
Transmission Case: Installation
- Check the projection (A) of the knock pins.
Specification:
8.5 - 9.5 mm (0.33 - 0.37 in)
- Install the knock pin so that the projection (A) is within the standard.NOTE:
Perform this procedure only when required.
- Select the reduction drive gear shim.
- Install the transmission case.NOTE:
- Do not apply liquid gasket.
- Do not install the reduction drive gear shim and bearing race.
- Do not install the seal ring.
Tightening torque:
22 N.m (2.2 kgf-m, 16.2 ft-lb)
- Using the ST, measure the height "H1" from the ST end face to the reduction drive gear end face.
Preparation tool:
ST: GAUGE (499575400)
- Raise and hold the reduction drive gear.
- Measure the height "H2" from the ST end face to the reduction drive gear end face.
- Using the following calculation, select appropriate thickness "T" of the reduction drive gear shim.NOTE:
Adjust using 1 - 3 pieces.
T = H1 - H2 - 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.010 in)
T Reduction drive gear shim thickness mm (in) H1 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (2) H2 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (4) 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.010 in) Clearance specification
- Install the transmission case.
- Remove the transmission case.
- Install the reduction drive gear shim.
- Install a new bearing race.
- Install a new O-ring.NOTE:
Apply CVTF to the O-rings.
- Install a new O-ring.NOTE:
Apply CVTF to the O-rings.
- Set the oil baffle (A), and then install the oil pressure pipe (B).NOTE:
Make sure to install the oil pressure pipe (B) in the correct direction.
- Install a new seal ring.NOTE:
- Apply CVTF to the seal rings.
- Do not stretch the seal ring more than necessary.
- Apply liquid gasket to the mating surface of the converter case as shown in the figure, and temporarily install the transmission case.NOTE:
- Before applying liquid gasket, degrease the old liquid gasket seal surface of the transmission case and converter case.
- Install within 5 min. after applying liquid gasket.
Liquid gasket:
THREE BOND 1216J or equivalent
- Tighten the bolts which hold the transmission case.
Tightening torque:
22 N.m (2.2 kgf-m, 16.2 ft-lb)
- Install the oil baffle securing bolt.
Tightening torque:
16 N.m (1.6 kgf-m, 11.8 ft-lb)

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
