Installation
42. Apply Hylomar sealant to the mating surfaces of the block and clutch housing. Lubricate the splines of the gearbox input shaft with Rocol MV3. Automatic transmission: apply Loctite 290 locking adhesive to the threads of the coupling half bolts. Tightening torque of the bolts is 39 N·m.
43. Lower the engine into the engine compartment. Manual transmission: insert the input shaft into the clutch splines, clutch housing, install it with the guide pin. Tighten the fasteners:
- clutch housing with a torque of 40 Nm
- torque converter housing with a torque of 46 Nm.
