2. Use a winch to remove. You will also need a tie rod joint puller, a suitable punch to knock out the pins from the input shaft joints, and two jack stands that fit under the front wheel suspension. If there are no jack stands, use two wooden blocks.
Models with 4-cylinder engine
Removal
3. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Disconnect the clutch pedal drive cable from the clutch release lever (see illustration).
2.3 On earlier models the clutch pedal drive cable is connected at the location shown, on later models - see illustration 5.17 in Section 61. Fastening the cable to the clutch release lever; 2. Middle bolt; 3. Cable support; 4. Support bolts
4. Remove the wheel and axle nuts, place the front of the vehicle on stands and remove both front wheels.
5. Disconnect the inlet pipe from the exhaust manifold.
6. Install both supports (see illustration) between the lower shock absorber bolt and the control arm bearing shaft on both sides. These mounts are installed to support the front suspension while the shafts are removed.
2.6 Install supports under the front suspension
7. Place a suitable container under the gearbox and drain the transmission oil. After the oil has drained completely, tighten the drain plug. When draining the oil, keep the filler plug open so that the oil can flow out better.
8. Remove both disc brake calipers without pinching the brake hoses. Secure the calipers with wire so that they do not hang on the hoses.
9. Remove the transmission drive shafts as described below.
10. Remove the tie rod joint nut and disconnect the joint from the steering linkage arm using a puller.
11. In the same way, disconnect the upper joint of the control arm drive from the steering knuckle. Then press the steering knuckle down and at the same time remove the drive shaft from the gearbox. Perform these operations on both sides of the car (see illustration).
2.11 Pull the steering knuckle outward and press it down to disengage the axle shafts
12. Disconnect the reverse light switch wiring from the terminal and remove the speedometer coil. It is held in place by a spring-loaded pin.
13. Disconnect the gear selector mechanism (see illustration).
2.13 Remove the gear shift mechanism; traction (3) has been installed since 1987 1. Gear selection mechanism rod; 2. Forward gear selection rod; 3. Reverse gear selection rod
14. Remove the electronic ignition system sensor.
15. Remove the protective shield located under the clutch from the bottom surface of the gearbox.
16. Disconnect the crankcase ventilation hose located at the end of the dual muffler pipe and unscrew the pipe mount from the bottom of the body.
17. For a four-wheel drive vehicle, remove the propeller shaft.
18. Disconnect the starter wires from the terminal and remove the starter.
19. On earlier models, remove both bolts (designation 4 in illustration 2.3) and remove the support.
20. Jack up the gearbox (place a wooden block between the jack head and the gearbox) and remove all bolts connecting the engine and gearbox.
21. Disconnect the hangers on the right and left and remove the gearbox from the jack, carefully disengaging the input shaft of the gearbox from engagement with the friction disc of the clutch. Do not allow the unit to hang on the shaft.
Installation
22. Install the gearbox in the reverse order, paying attention to the points below.
23. Apply a small amount of graphite grease to the gear engagements of the gearbox input shaft. Also lubricate both axle gears.
24. Make sure both dowel pins are in the lower half of the cylinder block; otherwise, remove them from the gearbox and hammer them into the cylinder block.
25. Using a jack, position the gearbox in the proper position and engage the gearbox input shaft with the friction disc. Push the gearbox firmly against the engine. Support the clutch release lever as the release bearing may fall off the fork. Tighten the bolts in a circular pattern.
26. Install the gearbox hangers.
2.26 Connection between drive shafts and differential axle gears
27. Align the holes of the drive shafts and the differential side gears, then push the shafts into the gearbox while lifting the steering knuckle and pushing it in. Use a suitable punch to align the holes (see illustration) and hammer in a new pin. Lubricate the ends of the pins with sealant.
28. Install both joints. If the bolts turn together with the ball head, insert a screwdriver into the joint when removing the nut. Always use a new nut. For tightening torque, see Specifications.
29. When installing disc brake calipers, lubricate the mounting bolts with sealant.
30. If necessary, adjust the clutch clearance. Otherwise, check the operation of the adjusting mechanism.
31. When installing the exhaust pipe on the rubber support, do not place an insulating washer between the metal-elastic bearing and the pipe bracket.
32. Fill with transmission oil. Do not overfill.
Models with V6 engine
Removal
33. If the transmission will be removed in a workshop, assemble the front exhaust pipe with the coupling for subsequent installation. If you are doing the repair work yourself, it is recommended to remove the exhaust system completely to ensure sufficient space for removing the transmission. The process of removing the transmission is the same as for cars with a 4-cylinder engine, taking into account the following features.
34. Disconnect the hydraulic line of the clutch slave cylinder. The connection is located near the air intake housing (signed at the top "V6 Injection").
35. Loosen the starter bolts and remove the starter. The safety shield is located behind the starter.
36. Remove the engine mount brackets and cushions (see illustration). The top bolt is the connecting bolt between the engine and the gearbox. This bolt is shorter than the others.
2.36 The engine brackets and mounting consoles are secured with the bolts shown
37. Jack up the gearbox and remove the bolts connecting the engine to the gearbox. Remove the gearbox, but do not let it hang on the input shaft.
Installation
38. Install in reverse order. After installation, bleed the clutch system. The bleed nipple is located near the front of the gearbox (on the left).
