3.1.3 Assembly Requirements
1. Remove the converter shipping bracket and its fasteners from the converter and transmission case while ensuring that
debris does not fall behind the converter.
2. All pieces should be placed in the appropriate containers for return to the source plant.
3. The transmission should be held parallel to the engine axis by the lift hooks and should not be tipped forward once the
shipping bracket has been removed. Adhering to this prevents the torque converter from slipping out of the bell
housing.
4. It is recommended to apply grease
to the torque converter pilot. Position the transmission flush against the engine
block dowel pins.
5. Install bolt to the bell housing at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. Then install remaining bolts in a crossing pattern to
ensure proper fit. Install the appropriate transmission to engine fasteners per the vehicle assembly instructions. Assure
any fastening sequence and torque values are followed.
Transmission to Engine Fasteners and Installation Torque
It is preferred that a single part number fastener be used at all of the transmission to engine fastener locations. The
preferred fastener is an M10x1.5 flanged hex bolt with a minimum strength grade of 10.9. Double-ended stud usage
for electrical grounding and clip attachment can be evaluated. The installation torque or dynamic torque should be 50
Nm ±10 Nm. The checking torque, or static torque, should be 55 Nm ±15 Nm. An access area 85 mm long by 25 mm
in diameter is recommended for accessibility to the transmission to engine fasteners. When using the PCS provided
adapters all necessary hardware including the bolts are provided. If you need further assistance contact PCS.
