PERFORMANCE ORDER

To Poddomkratta the car also establish it on props.
Having established drain capacity under transmission, give back and lateral bolts of fastening of the pallet of a case of transmission. Forward bolts only weaken approximately on 4 turns.
Carefully hook the pallet a screw-driver, having given the chance to liquid to flow down in capacity

Without removing completely, but having weakened forward bolts of the pallet of a case of transmission, carefully delay a back part of the pallet down, providing liquids effluence possibility in drain capacity.

Remove the remained bolts, the pallet and laying. Smooth out an interfaced surface of a case of transmission, having carefully removed with not all traces of a material of old laying and hermetic.
Merge the liquid which has remained in the pallet, wash out the pallet solvent and dry it, having whenever possible used for this purpose compressed air.

Observe extreme care - try not to damage a prokladochny surface of the case of the valve. Establish the new filter and laying.

Make sure of absolute purity of a prokladochny surface of the pallet of a case of transmission, then establish on the pallet a magnet (if it is provided) and new laying. Put the pallet to a case of transmission and, moving on perimeter, gradually for each approach tighten fixing bolts with demanded effort.

Put new laying to a flange of the pallet of a case of transmission and insert for its fixing fixing bolts.

Lower the car on the earth and add in transmission through a jellied tube (The section Check of level of liquid of automatic transmission (each 400 km (250 miles) run or weekly)) necessary quantity (about 3 l) liquids of a demanded grade.
At the transmission established in the situation "R" and the cocked parking brake start the engine on turns of fast idling, but do not increase speed.
