First, set the starter motor dust shield onto the starter before installing it. Insert the starter into the housing of the transmission, screw in the ground wire and tighten the mounting bolts to 54 Nm. Following that, push the
Battery Cable, ignition wire and battery cable nut onto the starter solenoid stud and tighten the nut to 10 Nm. Screw the electrical connector into the starter solenoid, then install and hand tighten the bolts used to connect the transmission bracket to the transmission housing. Hand tighten the bolt that holds the transmission bracket. Making sure the torque sequence is followed avoids harm to the fasteners, the bracket or rack and the threaded bolt holes. Make sure these bolts are tightened to 50 Nm. After you have installed the
Oxygen Sensor, tighten it to 41 Nm and the heat shield to 12 Nm. Join the transmission crossmember to the bolts and tighten them firmly to 55 Nm before turning one to 50 Nm. Fit the front mount through bolt into the transmission bracket and the mount, turning it up to 47 Nm. If your car has one, put on the belly pan, making sure the lower heat shield is attached to the lower studs first and then attach the upper heat shield on top using the lower nut. Set the heat shield over all the studs and fasten it with heat shield nuts that you tighten to 12 Nm. Following this, hook up the negative cable, tighten the nut using an 5 Nm torque wrench.
