WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the PNP switch.
- Install the shifter cable bracket.
- Install the lower transmission to engine stud.
- Install the transmission mount.
- Position the transaxle in the vehicle.

- Connect the transaxle cooler pipes to the transaxle and tighten the cooler pipes to 8 N.m (71 lb in).
- Use the J 43653 to prevent the crankshaft from rotating.
- Install the torque converter to flywheel bolts and tighten to 62 N.m (46 lb ft).
- Install the wheel drive shafts to the transaxle. Refer to Wheel Drive Shaft Replacement .
- Remove the transaxle jack.
- Connect the wiring harness to the VSS.

- Install the transmission to engine brace bolts and tighten to 72 N.m (53 lb ft).
- Install the frame. Refer to Frame Replacement .
- Lower the vehicle.
- Install the transaxle mount to body bolts and tighten to 90 N.m (66 lb ft).
- Remove the engine support fixture.
- Install the engine wiring harness grounds to the transaxle to engine mount stud and nut and tighten the nut to 8 N.m (71 lb in).

- Inspect the transmission fluid level.
- Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution
.
NOTE:
It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, the ECM, powertrain control module (PCM), or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
