t  If gearbox covers have been unbolted or gearbox has no fluid, do not run engine or tow vehicle.
t  First thoroughly clean connecting points and surrounding areas and then loosen bolts.
t  When installing the gearbox, ensure that dowel sleeves between the engine and gearbox are correctly located.
t  Place removed parts on a clean surface. Cover parts to prevent soiling. Use plastic sheeting and paper. Use lint-free cloths only!
t  Install only clean parts; do not remove new parts from packaging until immediately before installing.
t  If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully cover or seal components.
t  With gearbox removed, secure torque converter against falling out.
   
Gearboxes with and without filler pipe

This “old” filler opening with the red cap is also not needed because → ATF can be drained or filled through the bottom hole as required. The “height” of this tube determines the level of the → ATF.
The tube must be removed to drain the fluid.
