Do not lower it too low not to damage.

16 Prop up the engine in front the second elevator that it after removal of RKPP could not overturn.

17 Remove lock brackets-4-on draft of switching from RKPP and the lever of switching. Remove washers-5 drafts of switching, remove draft. At installation keep in mind that the big surface of washers-5-adjoins to draft of switching of a box.

18 Take away upward the screw-driver a clamp of a basic finger of draft of switching on a box. Take out a finger sideways.

19 Rasstykuyte the backing switch socket on a box. Release a cable of lamps of a backing and the sensor of oxygen from holders on a box.

Automatic transmission

20 Remove the fan with the holder from a radiator and pull a little up. Remove a vozdukhosborny box, address the Section Removal and installation of a box of an air inlet.
21 Remove a gear shifting selector cable on a box, address the Section Adjustment of Draft of the Selector.
22 I will corrode Rasstykuyte on a box for what turn a nut at the plug to the left.
23 Disconnect the holder at the case pallet for AT radiator oil pipelines.

24 Disconnect from a box the holder of an oil pipeline of a radiator (the shooter on an illustration), take out oil pipelines. Substitute capacity for collecting the following oil. Do not allow hit of dirt in pipelines therefore close them plastic packages of elastic bands.

25 Uncover an opening-1-at a crankcase part of the block of cylinders. Turn out consistently 3 bolts of fastening of the converter of torque by means of a narrow head, for example, BMW 24 1 110 or any similar tool. You watch that bolts did not fall in a case. That bolts appeared in a groove, turn the engine for a hexagon of a pulley of a bent shaft.

26 Prop up a box the elevator from below of the car. It is possible to lean only around a box case, but not the pallet of a case.
27 Turn off bolts of fastening of a box to the engine. The arrangement of bolts of a flange corresponds to an arrangement of bolts of fastening of a box.

28 You watch that the converter did not slip out. For this purpose put a clip-1-at a box case the flat party to the converter and clamp. If the specified clip cannot be put, at removal of a box you watch that the converter did not slip out a box. Disconnect a box from the engine.

29 Turn out Torx screws of fastening of a flange of a box (an arrow on an illustration). Screws have various sizes. Write down their arrangement.

Remove a box from the directing plugs and a main shaft back and take out it by means of the assistant.

At removal and installation of a box do not assume that it hung on primary to a shaft as it can lead to damage of the conducted clutch plate. Extend a box back as far as it is possible, turn approximately on a corner 10 ° counterclockwise and remove.

31 Before installation check coupling, address the Section Removal and coupling installation.
32 Check ease of the course of the bearing of switching off of coupling. Grease the adjacent surfaces of the lever of switching off with ESSO UNIREX S2 lubricant.

check lubricant in grooves of shliyets of a main shaft. If lubricant sticky, the conducted clutch plate needs to be replaced, address the Section Removal and coupling installation.

33 Erase a rag lubricant from shliyets of a main shaft. Then apply a thin film of ESSO UNIREX S2 lubricant. You do not apply too much lubricant as it can get on frictional surfaces and lead to coupling operation refusals. The necessary amount of lubricant corresponds to the rice grain size.

34 Include the lever transfer.

35 Make sure that both guides of the plug-1-and-2-between the engine and a box stand still. Raise a box and enter it horizontally into coupling. If at installation the shaft of a box does not enter the conducted clutch plate, turn a hand a shaft behind for a driveshaft flange.

36 Screw bolts of fastening of a flange with washers. The moments of tightening are given in Specifications.
37 Grease a basic finger of draft of switching with KLUBER POLYLUB GLY 801 lubricant and insert. Lower a finger clamp down.

38 Put washers on a finger, observing the correct situation. The big surface of washers-5-adjoins to draft of switching. Install draft on the lever of gear shifting and the lever of a box and fix by lock brackets.

39 Join the socket of the switch of a backing and record it. Lay a cable of lamps of a backing and the sensor of oxygen in holders on a box.
40 Install the working cylinder of the drive of coupling, address the Section Removal and installation of the working cylinder of coupling.
