Be careful not to damage the connector on the front of the

transmission during removal and installation, for example, by

coming in contact with the power steering line. Replace the

wiring harness in the transmission if the connector gets dam‐

aged. Refer to 

⇒ “4.1 Overview - Valve Body”, page 128

 .

♦

Pay attention to the torque converter. It must be removed to‐

gether with the transmission. Secure the torque converter

with, for example a wire -A- to prevent it from falling out.
