- Inspect the clutch alignment
by inserting the J 37761
through
the clutch disc and into the crankshaft pilot bearing. If the J 37761
does not fit through the clutch disc
and into the pilot bearing assembly smoothly, the clutch disc may be misaligned.
For clutch disassembly and inspection procedures, refer to
Clutch Assembly Replacement
in Clutch and align
if necessary.
- Install the transmission to the engine by raising the transmission
into position and moving the transmission toward the engine while simultaneously

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
