removing the driveshaft – wrapping the
bearing caps with electrical tape or a
similar material will keep the bearing
caps from separating from the spider.
7.
Support the driveshaft, either from
below with a stand or above with a
length of wire from the chassis. For
four-wheel drive vehicles, disconnect
the rear driveshaft from the transfer
case or transmission. For two (2)
piece driveshaft models, remove the
two (2) 9 ⁄
16
” bolts on the drive shaft
bearing support mount linking the two
driveshaft halves.
8.
Taking care to not let the slip
yoke in the driveshaft extend too far
and separate, lower the driveshaft
assembly and slide it rearward off of
the transmission. Position the drain
pan below the transmission/transfer
case output shaft to contain any fluid
that may drain once the driveshaft is
removed.
9.
For 4x4 models, the transfer case
will need to be removed.
A) Mark and disconnect the front
driveshaft from the transfer case.
B) Remove the manual shift linkage.
C) Disconnect the three (3) position
switch harness connector and gear
motor encoder harness connectors.
D) Position a transmission jack or
equivalent under the transfer case and
slightly lift the transfer case to release
tension on the retaining bolts.
E) Remove the six (6) mounting bolts
connecting the transfer case to the
extension housing and retain for
reassembly. Remove the transfer case
from the vehicle.
10.
If equipped, remove the
transmission mounted parking
brake assembly and power take-off
unit (PTO).
11.
Remove the transmission range
(TR) sensor by:
A) Disconnect the shift cable from the
manual lever.
B) Disconnect the cable housing from
the bracket. (see Figure 2).
12.
Disconnect all connectors on
the transmission including digital
transmission range, solenoid body
connector, turbine shaft speed (TSS)
and output shaft speed (OSS) sensors.
13.
To access the converter-to-
flexplate nuts, remove and retain the
bolts mounting the inspection cover and
remove the inspection cover. Rotate the
flywheel until the converter-to-flexplate
nuts are accessible. Remove each of
the nuts - a flywheel rotating tool or pry
bar may assist with the flexplate nuts
removal (see Figure 3).
14.
Raise the transmission hoist
under the transmission (if necessary,
mount the E4OD transmission
adapter onto the transmission hoist).
Remove and retain the transmission
crossmember bolts from the frame
rails. Remove the transmission
crossmember (see Figure 4).
15.
If necessary, remove the
exhaust components surrounding the
transmission.
16.
Remove the six (6) transmission
mounting bolts from the transmission
flange and retain for reassembly. Rock
the transmission to disengage it from
the locator dowels.
17.
Remove the transmission and the
Torque converter together from the
engine. If available, install a torque
converter holding tool.
CAUTION: When removing the
transmission, use care to avoid
obstructions. If equipped, do not
use the cooler bypass valve (CBV)
as a handle or support for the hoist
