Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

3. Install the shift cable bracket.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).

4. Install the PNP switch. Refer to Park/Neutral Position Switch Replacement .
5. Use a transmission jack to position the transmission to the vehicle.




Important: The number three position does not require a bolt.

6. Secure the transmission to the engine.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 75 N·m (55 lb ft).




7. Connect the shift cable to the transmission. Refer to Shift Cable Replacement .



8. Install the torque converter to flywheel bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 60 N·m (44 lb ft).

9. Install the starter. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement in Engine Electrical.
10. Connect the drive axles to the transmission. Refer to Wheel Drive Shaft Replacement in Wheel Drive Shafts.




Important: Lubricate the transmission cooler pipes in order to prevent damage to the seals.

11. Connect the transmission cooler lines to the transmission.
12. Lower the vehicle.
13. Use the engine support fixture in order to raise the powertrain assembly.
14. Install the transmission side mount. Refer to Transmission Mount Replacement - Side .
15. Install the frame. Refer to Frame Replacement in Frame and Underbody.
16. Remove the engine support fixture.
17. Install the top engine to transmission bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 75 N·m (55 lb ft).

18. Connect the main transmission harness connector.
19. Connect the park/neutral position switch harness connector.



20. Position the underhood junction block to the original position.
21. Install the surge tank inlet hose to the surge tank.



22. Install the front wiring harness to the junction block bracket.
23. Connect the positive battery cables to the junction block bracket (1).
24. Install the positive battery post to the junction block bracket (2).

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).




25. Install the junction block bracket , bolt (3) and nuts (1,2).

Tighten

•	Tighten the nuts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

•	Tighten the bolt to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

26. Install the transmission control module (TCM). Refer to Transmission Control Module Replacement
27. Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
28. Fill the transmission to the proper level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .

Important: It is recommended that the 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, PCM or TCM will need to relearn the TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
29. Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Learn .
