Installation (T100 4WD)
- Before installing transmission, use dial indicator to check drive plate runout. Drive plate runout should be checked right next to the starter ring gear on the drive plate. Replace drive plate if runout exceeds .0079" (.200 mm).
- Install torque converter on transmission. To ensure torque converter is fully seated, torque converter depth should be checked. Using straightedge and caliper, measure torque converter depth from torque converter bolt lug on torque converter to the surface on transmission. See Figure.
- Torque converter depth should be more than .707" (17.95 mm). If torque converter depth is less than specified, check for improperly seated torque converter.
- To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all bolts/nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . When installing torque converter bolts, apply Loctite to torque converter bolt threads before installing.
- Apply grease to transfer case shift lever before installing. Use NEW gasket when installing front exhaust pipe. Adjust all cables, shift linkages and fill with ATF. See appropriate TRANSMISSION SERVICING article.
