Precautions

1. Manoeuvre the hydraulic jack as appropriate to release the gearbox from the surrounding parts. Gradually lower the jack and withdraw the gearbox.

Take particular care to prevent the converter falling out of its seating.

When refitting, fit the gear change control cable, then carry out the checks described for removal of the cable.

NOTE Top up the gearbox oil level and check that there are no leaks from the drain plug (tighten to 2.35 - 5.49 daNm).

PRECAUTIONS

After releasing the cable from the support tool, do not place it directly on the floor, to avoid damaging its structure and the external components. Interpose a suitably shaped wooden wedge.

If the gearbox is replaced, before fitting the new transmission, remove the bracket (1) in the converter seating and the plugs on the differential outlet, fitted to stop foreign bodies entering the gearbox. Remove the above-mentioned plugs perfectly horizontally, to avoid damaging the oil seals (2) on the differential and to prevent the spring (3) inside the seals from falling out.
