  Q: How do you remove and install the Transmission Assembly?

  A: To begin removing and installing the 4T60 and 4T60-E transaxle, disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the air cleaner assembly first, followed by the exhaust crossover pipe. Disconnect shift linkage, shift cable and bracket then label and disconnect electrical connectors for converter clutch, cruise control servo, and Neutral Safety Switch. After that remove upper transaxle-to-engine bolts/studs and take out vacuum line at vacuum modulator then use an engine support tool to support the engine. At this point raise and safely support vehicle, remove front wheel and tire assemblies followed by disconnecting both ball joints from steering knuckles before you remove half shafts from transaxle. Remove stabilizer bolt & clamp, left engine & A/C splash shield, wire harness cover. Detach oil cooler lines and bracket then remove transaxle-to-engine support bracket. The right rear mount-to-transaxle bracket is removed as well as left rear transaxle mount-to-transaxle attachments. Remove flexplate splash shields & torque converter-to-flexplate bolts. Place an appropriate jack under transaxle before removing some of the transaxle to engine bolts through right wheel well in order to access one of them. Lastly remove the transaxle from the vehicle. Position transaxle in vehicle first and install lower transaxle-to-engine bolts/studs followed by tightening torque converter-to-flexplate bolts along with flexplate splash shields. Connect oil cooler lines and bracket while installing rear left & right transaxle mount attachments plus a transaxle-to-engine support bracket. Next re-install left No. 1 cradle insulator bolt & cradle assembly before reconnecting vacuum pump assembly . Proceed to reconnect left engine & A/C splash shields , wire harness cover along with stabilizer bolt & clamp . Reinstall half shafts , reconnect lower ball joints /tie rod ends , connect both front suspension position sensors . Install power steering filter, ABS modulator , engine oil pan-to-transaxle bracket and transmission mount nuts. Align flexplate and torque converter then install flexplate-to-converter bolts and torque converter cover. Reattach the shift control cable & bracket and adjust as necessary to the transaxle. Put on the exhaust crossover pipe, reconnect throttle valve cable & bracket then re-install air cleaner assembly. Fill transaxle with proper fluid, adjust throttle valve cable and shift linkage. Road test vehicle for proper operation. Disconnect negative battery cable, remove headlight housing upper filler panel and diagonal brace as well as air cleaner assembly for 4T80-E transaxle. Disconnect shift control cable & bracket at transaxle then remove torque struts . Disconnect oil cooler lines at cooler and oil sending line at transaxle . Take out upper transaxle-to-engine bolts supporting engine using an engine support fixture . Raise vehicle safely; remove splash shields from both front wheel wells . Remove both front suspension position sensors then both stabilizer links from struts . Take out tie rod end cotter pins & nuts followed by lower ball joint cotter pins/nuts . Remove halfshafts , power steering filter and A/C splash shield from frame . First remove ABS modulator and engine oil pan-to-transaxle bracket then torque converter cover followed in turn by torque converter to flexplate bolts too. Put a suitable jack under the transaxle before removing the transaxle to engine bolts. Lastly remove the transaxle from the vehicle. When installing start by positioning transaxle into vehicle while installing lower bolts attaching it to engine block /transmission mounting bolt holes. Reinstall also torque converter-to-flexplate bolts along with torque converter cover connected between two surfaces through which oil flows during its cooling process where there is an opening passage formed by these two parts in such way that their connecting position is exposed outside of them all time they remain sealed against each other thereby ensuring that as long as there exists any pressure difference between them there can be no leakage occurring due their tight joining together while still allowing movement thereof when it's necessary. Connect oil cooler lines . Install rear right and left transaxle mount attachments, and the transaxle to engine support bracket. Re-attach power steering hose to auxiliary cooler and connect electrical harness/connector to front of cradle. Support rear of cradle with suitable jack , remove 4-rear cradle bolts . Lower jack slightly to access power steering gear heat shield along with return line fitting, then remove heat shield and disconnect return line . Plug line & gear opening . Disconnect power steering electrical connector, then lift jack in order for one rear cradle bolt on each side being reinstalled finger tight. Remove jack & use another suitable jack while removing six frame mount bolts supporting frame from below or alternately lift vehicle with steering gear attached up off ground by means of suitable hoist set against its base plate so that only one end (either front or rear) would remain supported at all times without putting much load onto both ends since they are being held tightly together hence preventing any distortion that might occur if they were subjected excessive strain during lifting operation before releasing downward force applied again until it reaches level where it naturally sits without further need lowering back down upon completion this step like mentioned earlier already explained why some people prefer working like these instead other methods such as lifting entire car once using single overhead type crane lifting mechanism fitted above centerline which would otherwise require extra effort from operator making things difficult than they should be under normal circumstances emphasizing importance planning everything advance thus enabling smooth execution tasks involved thus reducing chances committing errors along way thereby minimizing risks associated such an activity similar magnitude here's example how process could look like entails following steps: identify components needing replaced choose appropriate tools required carry out specific job safely complete intended task efficiently without sustaining injuries caused by negligence not wearing protective equipment take care yourself others around during whole procedure ensure compliance safety regulations governing workplace always follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) whenever applicable according requirements law make sure that all tools/equipment are thoroughly cleaned/inspected prior their use since any malfunction could result loss money time well as jeopardize someone's health simply because failure comply with these rules set place order here maintain high level hygiene environment where operation held quite often poses serious threats operator's life in addition causing irreparable damage property thus those who perform them must possess certain qualities normally associated successful people like patience, discipline, creativity etc having proper knowledge about what he/she doing act professional manner while on duty exhibiting trustworthiness such as honesty showing respect towards colleagues irrespective whether they have same rank or not promoting smooth running activities among entire staff members setting good example others emulating desirable habits resulting more harmonious working relationships long run therefore, it is clear that everyone involved taking such kind exercise should be prepared any eventuality arising during execution these risks include falling from elevated positions slipping accidentally coming into contact sharp objects being hit heavy items falling down when lifting anything either by hand or using mechanical device negligence may lead accidents happening faster than expected designating specific areas only used storing hazardous materials ensuring chemicals correctly labeled instructions provided manufacturer accompanied material safety data sheet advising what precautions taken handling it safely otherwise mentioned label do everything possible avoid spillages wastes disposing them off accordingly segregating different types recyclable waste accordingly, placing recyclables appropriate containers designated locations hazardous storage facility there should be special precautionary before starting project involves materials/chemicals harmful nature including potentially lethal substances like asbestos , heavy metals , pesticides radioactive isotopes other toxins pose risks human beings animals plants surrounding all times whereas non- toxic substances entail less severe still require caution handling, transport even disposal particularly if highly concentrated forms that somehow happen leak uncontrollably outside containment areas since this would necessitate clean-up operations involving trained personnel equipped necessary gear for instance protective clothing goggles gloves boots respiratory protection because breathing fumes emitted by these toxic could cause permanent damage lungs, liver kidneys heart eventually death some victims so why take chances working such poisonous stuff without wearing proper attire? Obviously no one wants see his/her loved ones suffer agony resulting ignorance thus taking necessary measures prevent endangering well-being others.The above statement is a clear illustration of the risks involved in each and every step of the process. All these points must be put into consideration when carrying out any task that may involve handling hazardous waste.
