Removing
Carry out the work as indicated in sec. "Engine - removal and installation (fur. KP)" in the first 17 paragraphs.
To reduce fluid splatter when removing the drive shafts, drain the transmission fluid as directed in chapter 7.
Unscrew the clamping sleeve and disconnect the speedometer flexible shaft from the transmission.
Engage the handbrake if it is not engaged, then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on stands under the bridge.
Remove the crankshaft pulley.
Remove the front section of the exhaust system as directed in chapter 4.
Disconnect the hoses going to the transmission fluid cooler or radiator, noting their location. Clamp the hoses (put plugs) to reduce fluid leakage and dirt ingress.
Disconnect the wiring connector and remove the two brackets securing it to the transmission case.
Disconnect the vent hose from the transmission (located under the battery compartment), by marking the location.
After removing the clip and washer, disconnect the shift cable from the transmission lever and move it to the side.
Make sure. that all relevant hoses, pipes, wiring, etc. disconnected and located outside the engine and transmission.
Carry out the work as indicated in the previous section "Node engine / mech. KP", points from "Disconnect the ends of the drive shafts from the differential..." before "After removing the engine/gearbox assembly from the vehicle", but read instead of the word "Transmission" word "transmission".
After removing the engine/transmission assembly, mount it on wooden blocks on a workbench or on a clean jobsite surface.
Remove dirt from the surface of the units with kerosene or water-based solvent and a stiff brush.
Turn away bolts and remove a cover of a cone-shaped casing of transmission.
If the torque converter and drive plate are to be installed again, make marks between them so that they are in the correct position during reassembly.
Through the bottom of the cone-shaped casing, unscrew the three bolts securing the torque converter to the drive disk. You will have to turn the crankshaft with a wrench or other tool by attaching it to the crankshaft pulley or sprocket bolt (where possible). Use a screwdriver or other tool to jam the drive disc gear to prevent it from turning. Do not use bolts afterwards.
Loosen the engine-to-transmission bolts. noticing the location of the brackets.
Carefully separate the engine and transmission, making sure the torque converter is firmly in place in the transmission case, otherwise it may fall out. You will have to shake the units slightly to separate them.
If the old torque converter is installed, start the installation by tapping M10x1.25 mm threads in the torque converter for the mounting bolts to the drive disk.
If a new transmission is installed, it is recommended that the fluid cooling passages in the radiator be thoroughly flushed before installation. Compressed air would be ideal (make sure you take precautions); otherwise, the device can be flushed with clean transmission fluid.
Carefully seat the transmission onto the engine until the cone fits onto the pins in the cylinder block, then install the engine-to-transmission bolts and tighten to specification. Make sure all brackets are bolted and positioned as before removal.
If the old torque converter and drive plate are being installed, carefully turn the crankshaft until the marks made before removal match before installing the bolts.
Install new torque converter to drive plate bolts and torque to specification. Rotate the crankshaft to access each bolt in turn, lock the drive plate as you did during removal.
Install the transmission cone cover.
Move the lift up to the engine/transmission assembly. then lower the assembly into the engine compartment, connect the supports as indicated in the previous section "Engine/mech. KP" (instead of "Transmission" read "transmission").
Connect the ends of the drive shafts to the differential as previously stated. In this case, use new spring rings.
Connect the transmission vent hose.
Connect the selector cable to the transmission lever, and adjust it as indicated in chapter 7.
Install the transmission wiring brackets, connect the connector.
Connect the fluid cooler hoses. install new seals.
Install the front section of the exhaust system as directed in chapter 4.
Install the crankshaft pulley.
Lower the car to the ground.
Connect the speedometer flexible shaft and secure the clamping sleeve.
Operation as described in the section "Engine - removal and installation (fur. KP)" in the last paragraphs, starting with "Install pipes, hoses...".
Fill the transmission with the correct amount and type of fluid through the filler neck.
Install the car hood as directed in chapter 11, on engines with two camshafts, install the lower mudguard.
Make sure all hoses, pipes and wiring are properly connected.
Connect the wires to the battery.
If required, bleed the power steering circuit as directed in chapter 10, and top up the automatic transmission fluid level as indicated in chapter 1.
