- REMOVE REAR ENGINE MOUNTING MEMBER
- Support the automatic transmission assembly with a transmission jack.
*a Lashing Belt WARNING:Secure the automatic transmission assembly to the transmission jack using a lashing belt, etc. to prevent it from falling.
NOTE:- Place attachments on the transmission jack saddle.
- Make sure that the attachments and the transmission oil sump are centered on the transmission jack.
- Loosen the bolts (2).
- Loosen nuts (1).
- Remove the rear engine mounting member (3).
- Support the automatic transmission assembly with a transmission jack.

See step 2
- SEPARATE PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY NOTE:
- Damage to propeller shaft assembly during removal.
Non-observance of the removal guidelines for the propeller shaft assembly on the rear differential carrier assembly may cause severe damage.
- Do not disassemble the three-hole flange, flexible disc and propeller shaft assembly. The three-hole flange to the rear differential carrier assembly is balanced with the flexible disc and propeller shaft assembly.
- Loosen the recessed nut against the direction of travel in clockwise direction. The propeller shaft assembly must be loosened on the recessed nut only and exclusively in the direction of rotation otherwise the anti-twist lock of the bi-hexagonal flange nut is damaged.
- In the event of a damaged anti-twist lock on the bi-hexagonal flange nut: Replace the rear differential carrier assembly.
- Mark the installation position of the bolt connections (2) of the flexible coupling (1) and the output flange (3).
HINT:
- The mark makes it possible for the propeller shaft assembly to be installed again in the same position.
- This should prevent a humming noise from the drive train during driving.
- Loosen 18 mm bolts (1).
- Unscrew the bolts (1) on the center bearing and hold down the propeller shaft assembly.NOTE:
Major deflection angles of the propeller shaft assembly may damage the propeller shaft assembly and/or the joints.
- Tie up propeller shaft assembly to underbody.
- Damage to propeller shaft assembly during removal.
