Installation of automatic transmission (Fiesta 2)

            0

Before starting work, thoroughly clean the splined surfaces of the axle shafts and vibration dampers. Cover the seal with self-adhesive tape, and lubricate the splined surfaces with a very thin layer of "Molykote 321R" that is uniform in thickness over the entire surface. Remove the self-adhesive tape from the seals and do not use any other lubricants in these areas.

Place the gearbox on a jack, taking care not to damage the oil pan.

Attach the gearbox to the engine. Screw in and tighten the bolts on the gearbox flange. These bolts screw into the engine flywheel housing.

Raise the engine together with the gearbox and lower it, and also move away the lift, which was used to support the gearbox from below.

Tighten the bracket mounting bolts to the body. First screw the bracket to the gearbox housing.

Install the half shafts with new expansion rings, which are necessary for the axial installation of the half shafts. Insert the half shaft ends so deeply into the crown wheel hubs that the expansion rings are expanded.

The remaining steps should be performed in the reverse order of removing the gearbox.

The automatic transmission control adjustment should be carried out using the following instructions.

Set the manual control lever located inside the vehicle to the position corresponding to parking "P".

Apply the handbrake.

Check the freedom of movement of the cable in its sheath (Fig. 3.44).

Check the freedom of movement of the cable in its sheath (Fig. 3.44).


Press the gas pedal all the way down.



Loosen the lock nut (B, Fig. 3.44) on the bracket and turn it several times.

Note: the adjusting nut must not be unscrewed (A, Fig. 3.44).


Remove the outer cable sheath (D, Fig. 3.44) from below.

Remove the dust cover (G, Fig. 3.44).

Insert a 1 mm thick feeler gauge between the bracket and the mounting nut. Lightly screw the mounting nut onto the feeler gauge to compensate for the gap and remove the feeler gauge. Tighten the lock nut to 4.5 N·m, but be careful not to eliminate the 1 mm gap.

Install the sheath and dust cover onto the cable.

Connect the battery to the vehicle's electrical system.

Fill the gearbox with oil.
