Repair Kit

Service and repair operations on the transmission support crossmember begin with identifying NEUTRAL gear and a hoisting platform for the vehicle. Start by removing the skid plate fasteners when they exist together with the skid plate. The service begins by disconnecting the fasteners linking exhaust heat shields to crossmembers before you remove the two transmission mount nuts that need 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque when you replace them. Support the transmission and mark the transmission crossmember position next to the edge of the frame bracket for accurate reinstallation. When installing the crossmember nuts users must position them toward the front direction of the vehicle. After removing four bolts along the transmission crossmember and the crossmember itself you need to re-torque the fasteners to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) during reinstall. Follow the opposite steps to finalize the installation of the transmission.

The service and repair process of the cross-member begins by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL mode on a hoist stand. You need to take out the 2 exhaust hanger bolts together with the 2 heat shield screws. To expose the transmission support crossmember use a suitable transmission jack while removing the 2 transmission support nuts and the 4 transmission support crossmember support nuts and bolts. The product installation process begins by placing the transmission support crossmember before using transmission support crossmember support nuts and bolts to fasten it while tightening the nuts to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). Install the transmission support nuts on their designated places and torque them to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). The exhaust hanger bolts must be installed and tightened to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) while the 2 heat shield screws need to be tightened to 20 Nm (177 lb-in).

Service work on the transmission support crossmember needs a vehicle in NEUTRAL position and placed on a hoist. Before continuing please tighten the exhaust hanger bolts up to 40 Nm before reinstalling. After removing the two heat shield screws you should tighten them to 20 Nm (177 lb-in) before reinstalling. Support the transmission with an appropriate jack before removing its two support nuts that need to be tightened to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) when installed. The four transmission support crossmember bolts need removal while you should torque them to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) when rehanging them. The final step involves removal of the transmission support crossmember and conducting installation by following the reversed order of removal.

Start servicing the transmission support crossmember by using a hoist while positioning the transmission in neutral position. Protection should be removed from the skid plate before you detach its fasteners and the skid plate itself. The service begins with left-hand and right-hand exhaust heat shield-to-crossmember fastener detachment but the transmission mount nuts require removal before installation. You must tighten these nuts to 76 lb-ft (103 Nm). Place support underneath the transmission to denote the position of the crossmember relative to the frame bracket edge that will serve as a reference for correct rejoining. It is essential to orient the crossmember nuts so they face forward towards the vehicle. disconnect and remove the two bolts on each side while removing the transmission crossmember until you reinstall it at 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). To finish the installation reverse all previously executed steps.
