15. Remove the case extension gasket (42).

### Installation Procedure

1. Install the new case extension gasket (42).
2. Install the case extension (43).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the case extension bolts (52).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 32 N·m (23 lb ft).

4. Install the rear oxygen sensor harness clips (112) to the case extension.
5. Install the transmission speed sensor seal (44), sensor (45) and the bolt (46).

Tighten
Tighten the speed sensor bolt to 9 N·m (78 lb in).

6. Connect the transmission speed sensor electrical connector.
7. Install the catalytic converter support bracket bolts (1) and bracket.
8. Using the J 36797-A install the new seal (50) into the case extension.
9. Install the drive shaft flange, washer, and the new nut onto the output shaft.
10. Install the J 42066 onto the drive flange using nuts and bolts supplied with tool.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure.

11. While holding the J 42066 and using a 30 mm deepwell socket to tighten the flange nut.

Tighten
Tighten the drive flange nut to 100 N·m (74 lb ft).

12. Install the propeller shaft coupling to drive flange.
13. Install the propeller shaft coupling bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the propeller shaft coupling bolts to 95 N·m (70 lb ft).

14. Install the transmission mount. Refer to Transmission Mount .
15. Inspect and adjust the transmission fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
