A/T Transmission Removal

Applies directly to our truck. This is our removal procedure — see Transmission Removal only for reference, that one is the manual-transmission version and does not apply to us.

Preparation

• Raise Vehicle.
• Drain ATF Fluid.
• Remove Driveshaft (Front & Rear).
• Disconnect (-) Battery Cable.

Component removal

1. Bell Housing Dust Cover.
2. Remove Torque Converter attachment bolts.
3. Disconnect Shift Cable.
4. Disconnect electrical connectors.
5. Remove Oil Filler Tube.
6. Remove O-Ring & discard. Replace.
7. Disconnect Oil Cooler Pipes. Cap.
8. Remove Bracket.
9. Remove Starter.
10. Place jack in position. Remove Bell Housing attachment bolts.
11. Remove Transmission towards rear of vehicle.
12. Install in reverse.

Torque

Torque callout	N·m (kgf·m)
T=48 (35 ft-lb)	(4.9)
T=9.8 (87 in-lb)	(1.0)
T=29 (21 ft-lb)	(3.0)
T=14 (124 in-lb)	(1.4)
T=9.8 (87 in-lb)	(1.0)

(verify printed p.188) — five torque callouts are legible, but the leader lines tying them to specific numbered steps did not survive OCR. Given the parts involved, T=48 (4.9) most likely corresponds to the Torque Converter attachment bolts (step 2, typically a higher-torque joint) and T=9.8 (1.0) most likely corresponds to smaller bracket/starter bolts (steps 8-9) — but this attribution is not confirmed and should not be relied on without checking the printed diagram.
