Coat the lip of the new front cover oil seal with clean transmission fluid and press the seal into the front cover using the proper tool. Apply sealant to the transmission case mating surface, then slide the gear assembly onto the adapter plate by tapping it with a rubber mallet. Next, apply sealant to the adapter plate mating surface and install the rear extension, torquing the bolts to specification. Fit and install the main bearing snapring, then measure the distance between the bearing surface and the transmission case to determine dimension "A," which will help select the proper thickness counter shaft front bearing shim. Install the front cover with a new gasket, followed by the return spring plugs, check ball, return springs, and select check plunger in their proper locations. Install the control housing with a new gasket, remove the transmission from the holding fixture, and install it in the vehicle, ensuring to fill the transmission to the proper level, which is 4½ pints for the FS5W71B type and 4¼ pints for the FS5W71C type.

Raise the transmission and bolt the drive plate to the converter and the transmission to the engine, torquing the bolts appropriately, with specific torque settings for the 240SX.

As turbine speed increases, the stator eventually rotates with the engine, making the converter behave like a solid shaft.

Knock out the shift rod retaining pins with a small drift punch, drive the rods from the shift forks, and retrieve each interlock ball.

Internal snaprings should be expanded, while external rings should be compressed for reuse.

Instead of wheel bearing grease, clean transaxle oil should be used to lube seals, and unmedicated petroleum jelly should be used to secure thrust washers and facilitate seal assembly, as it does not leave harmful residues.

Install the transaxle assembly, torque the converter to drive plate bolts and housing bolts according to specifications for the respective transaxle types, then reinstall the starter motor and all electrical connections.

Remove the exhaust tube securing nut and bolt, engine gusset bolt, engine mounting, clutch control cable, speedometer cable, and wire connectors from backup light and neutral safety switches.

Always dip bolt threads into clean transaxle oil before installation and use a torque wrench to prevent thread stripping.

Yes, for the 240SX model, the transmission serial number is located on the right side in the tail shaft area.

Clean the mating surfaces, lightly lubricate the clutch disc and main drive gear splines, and lubricate the rear extension oil seal lip and bushing with clean transmission fluid.
