Note: If necessary, the engine and gearbox can be removed together as described in Section 1, and then separate the gearbox. However, in this Chapter removal of a transmission without removing the engine is described.
1. Place in front of the car on a viewing hole, apply the parking brake. Drain the gear oil.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Unscrew and remove the upper bolts securing the gearbox to the engine, marking the location of the hangers.
4. Unscrew the ground cable from the gearbox.
5. Disconnect the wiring from the electronic speedometer sensor and connector for the multi-function sensor by squeezing the spring clips together (photo).
6. Where equipped, loosen the cable connection, disconnect the wiring from the catalytic converter.
7. Unscrew and remove the mudguard from under the engine.
8. Remove the nuts securing the exhaust outlet pipe to the manifold. Lower the distribution pipe and remove the gasket.
9. Disconnect the exhaust pipe behind the front muffler or catalytic converter as described in Section 3.
10. Remove the bolt, remove the spring that secures the exhaust outlet pipe to the suspension on the side of the gearbox. Lower the distribution pipe and front muffler from the vehicle.
11. Unscrew the nuts, remove the cross member from the bottom behind the gearbox (photo).
12. On models with the Procon-Ten protection system, disconnect the cables from the gearbox, referring to Section 11 and fig. 11.1.
13. Unscrew the clamping bolt, pull the clutch off the shift rod (photo).
14. Unscrew and remove the transmission front cover (photo).
15. Where equipped, unscrew driveshaft cover under vehicle.
16. Unscrew and remove the bolts securing the inner CV joints to the gearbox drive flanges. Note the location of the bolt plates, remove the gaskets if any. Tie the drive shafts on one side, cover the internal connections with plastic bags to prevent dust and dirt from entering (photo).
17. Remove the clutch slave cylinder as described in Section 5, but do not disconnect the hydraulic hose. Tie the slave cylinder to one side.
18. Remove the starter as described in Section 12.
19. On 5-cylinder models, disconnect the tie rod hanger from the steering gear as described in Section 10.
20. Support the gearbox with a jack.
21. Support in front of the engine with a winch or a suitable support beam placed across the engine compartment.
22. Turn off a forward bed from the block of cylinders.
23. Remove the bolt securing the rear support beam to the rubber pad on the rear of the transmission. Loosen the outer bolt, move the rod to the side. Alternatively, the entire bracket can be unscrewed from the gearbox with a socket wrench (photo).
24. Unscrew and remove the lower bolts securing the gearbox to the engine. Also unscrew the hanger of the exhaust holder (photo).
25. Slightly lower a transmission.
26. Separate the gearbox from the engine, making sure that the input shaft does not hang on the clutch. Lower the gearbox to the ground (photo).
27. Before installing the gearbox, make sure that the location pins are placed on the surface of the rear of the engine block. Lightly lubricate the grooves of the input shaft with high temperature grease.
28. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. If necessary, adjust the engine and transmission settings as described in Section 1. Fill the gearbox with oil (photo). Tighten all nuts and bolts with the tightening force specified in the Specification. Apply blocking fluid to the shift clutch bolt (photo).
