A hoist in neutral position allows the technician to proceed with servicing and repairing the 6F50 transmission mount. The service requires first loosening the clamp on the exhaust flexible pipe before unhanging both exhaust hangers and removing a four-nut assembly with exhaust flexible pipe and Y-pipe along with discarding the nuts and gasket. Begin service by taking away the two nuts from the roll restrictor heat shield then move to unfasten the roll restrictor-to-subframe through bolt before removing bolts from the roll restrictor bracket. After detaching the roll restrictor-to-transaxle through bolt it is possible to remove the roll restrictor. The next work step involves uninstalling three bolts along with the roll restrictor bracket. The
Mass Air Flow Sensor electrical connector and wiring harness fastener must be removed from the air cleaner assembly together with separate disconnects of the brake booster vacuum hose and the engine breather. First remove the ACL assembly bracket bolt then loosen the ACL outlet pipe clamp at the
Throttle Body before taking out the ACL with its outlet pipe assembly. First disconnect all wiring harness fasteners then remove the three bolts before extracting the battery together with the battery tray. Correct positioning of the oil pan holding fixture against the oil pan mounting bosses ensures prevention of any damage to those areas. A floor jack together with the oil pan holding fixture should elevate the engine to release pressure from the transaxle support insulator. Start by removing the transaxle support insulator through bolt and flagnut and then proceed to disconnect the three nuts and remove the bolt and bracket from the insulator. Lower the jack while ensuring the transmission fluid cooler tube passes beyond the lower transmission support insulator bolts followed by unbolted battery tray support bracket fasteners and detached top and bottom transaxle support insulator fasteners. When installing the bottom transaxle support insulator bolts apply a torque of 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) before moving to top bolts that should also have 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) torque. The installation requires tightening the battery tray support bracket bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Lift the transaxle into position using the jack and oil pan holding fixture followed by installation of the transaxle support insulator bracket with bolt and nuts and tightening the nuts to 63 Nm (46 lb-ft) while the bolt requires 80 Nm (59 lb-ft). Fasten the transaxle support insulator through bolt by tightening it with a torque of 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) while using a flagnut. Before restoration of service, reinstall the battery tray along with three bolts tightened at 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque. Then connect all wiring harness fasteners. After placing the battery in its position you should install the ACL assembly while tightening the bolt to 11 Nm (97 lb-in). Attach the engine breather and brake booster vacuum hoses onto the ACL assembly while tightening the MAF sensor electrical connector and wiring harness fastening. Keep the ACL outlet pipe clamp at the TB fastened to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). Screw in and tighten three bolts on the roll restrictor bracket that sits on the transaxle until they reach 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). Position the roll restrictor bracket onto the transaxle before installing three bolts which should be tightened to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) and the roll restrictor-to-transaxle through bolt to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft). Install the roll restrictor-to-subframe through bolt and tighten it to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). Then attach the roll restrictor heat shield by securing its two nuts to 11 Nm (97 lb-in). The final task requires you to mount the exhaust Y-pipe with its new gasket and four new nuts at 40 Nm (30 lb-ft), reinstall exhaust hangers and secure the exhaust clamp to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft), after which you should validate the transmission fluid level while making necessary fluid additions with clean fluid.
