CAUTION: When joining up engine and transmission, ensure ease of movement of torque converter.
  1. Pay attention to adapter sleeves (1 and 2). See Fig 1 . Remove damaged adapter sleeves from transmission housing and replace.
  2. Sheet metal flywheel is provided with three recesses for the torque converter retaining lugs. When joining together engine and transmission, the three retaining lugs on the torque converter must be flush with the three recesses on the sheet metal flywheel. See Fig 2 . Failure to comply with this requirement will result in damage to the automatic transmission. Turning on the torque converter or engine is no longer possible after guiding engine and transmission together and would cause damage.
  3. Bore on driver must point to center of aperture in cover plate. See Fig 3 .
  4. Tighten transmission-to-engine screws to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  5. Use only original bolts. Tighten torque converter-to-flywheel screws to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .

  7. On all vehicles except compacts and Z4, Remove any butylene tape already fitted on center bearing. Clean adhesive area on center bearing and on body. Coat adhesive area on body with mineral oil to enable sticky butylene tape to feed easily into propeller shaft tunnel. This prevents any deformation of butylene tape. Pull masking tape off butylene tape on both sides. Attach butylene tape (1) to outside of center bearing (2). See Fig 5 .
  8. On all vehicles except compacts and Z4, press center bearing (2) into transmission tunnel. See Fig 6 .
  9. Tighten nuts of center mount-to-body to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  10. Replace self-locking nuts of flexible disk-to-propeller shaft and transmission output flange and tighten to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  11. Tighten screws of cross member-to-body and rubber mounts-to-cross member or transmission to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  12. Tighten cable on shift tower/transmission to specification. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  13. Check cable for ease of movement. Move selector lever to Park. Grip clamp bushing (1). See Fig 7 . Loosen nut (2). Press selector lever (3) forwards into park position. Press cable (4) in direction of arrow and release again. Grip clamping piece (1). Tighten nut (2) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Move selector lever to park position.
