Installation

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Matters that require attention when installing the dual clutch transmission (DCT) to engine

1)	Check the pilot bearing (B) and external damper (A) on the side of engine for any dents, damages and deformations before installing the DCT.

2)	Align the external damper spline (A) with the dual clutch spline (B).

3)	Assemble the DCT to the knock bushing on the engine side and then insert the input shaft (A) to the engine pilot bearing (B).

After adhering the DCT with engine by pushing the DCT, tighten the mounting bolts after checking that there is no gap (less than 2mm) between the clutch housing and the engine block.

(If the bolt is tightened while there is a gap, then the spline of external damper or clutch will be damaged or broken.)

Follow the separated each procedure as below according to reinstallation or replacing with a new dual clutch transmission.

In case of the reinstallation

If the differential oil seal is damaged and oil is leaking, replace the oil seal with a new one. When installing the new oil seal, use the special tool.

– 2WD transmission case side, clutch housing side: 09430-C1190

– 4WD transmission case side, clutch housing side: 09431-39000

– Driven gear oil seal (in case of the 4WD vehicle) : 09473-D3500

2)	After installing the DCT, check the oil level after refilling the DCT with oil. (Refere to Transmission Gear Oil - "Rapair procedures")

3)	Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.

In case of the replacing with a new dual clutch transmission.

1)	After replacing the new DCT, it need not oil refill & level check procedure because oil is already filled with specified quantity inside new DCT.

2)	Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.

3)	Perform clutch characteristics input procedure using the GDS. (One of two procedure must be performed.)

•	Clutch characteristics input (Manual Teaching)

•	Clutch touch point learning
