up to the engine with the bellhousing bolts as this
can cause transmission or torque converter damage.
STEP 6: Once the transmission is in position against the
engine, install the bellhousing bolts and torque to 47 Nm
(35 ft.lbs.). At this point the torque converter should turn
freely.
IMPORTANT: A tight converter indicates improper engage-
ment, a distorted flexplate or binding pilot hub. This con-
dition must be corrected before going further.
STEP 7: Inspect transmission mount. Worn, cracked or
broken transmission and/or engine mounts should be re-
placed. Raise transmission and install crossmember as-
sembly then tighten all bolts. Install three (M10 x 1.5 x
15) flexplate to converter bolts. Install the first bolt finger
tight then use the starter motor to “bump” each drive lug
into position. When all three bolts are installed torque
them to 47Nm (35 ft.lbs.).
STEP 8: (FIG. 1) Reconnect and adjust the TV cable.
WARNING: You must reset the TV cable before operating
the transmission. Failure to reset the TV cable will result
in poor shift quality and early transmission failure.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the transmission in any
type of custom installation see Section 3 for details on
how to set up the T.V. cable so it works correctly.
STEP 9: Connect speedometer cable, electrical connec-
tor and shifter cable. Make sure the cooler tube connec-
tor fittings are tight in transmission case first, then con-
nect cooler lines and tighten the tube compression nuts
with a fitting wrench to avoid damaging the nuts.
STEP 10: Install drive shaft (and torque arm if used). Make
sure the U joint cups (bearings) are properly positioned in
their seats. Tighten U joint nuts or bolts securely.
STEP 11: Lower vehicle but keep the rear wheels off the
ground if possible. Add six (6) quarts of B&M TRICKSHIFT
or DEXRON® III fluid to the transmission. Place transmis-
sion in NEUTRAL and start the engine. Add fluid to trans-
mission until the fluid level is between the FULL and ADD
marks. Shift the transmission through all gear positions.
If the wheels are off the ground, allow the transmission to
shift through all gears several times. Place selector in
NEUTRAL and check the fluid level again. DO NOT OVER-
