Following illustrations indicate areas (parts) of underbody and frame which may be used to raise and support vehicle using either floor jack or hoist. These points are indicated by shaded areas on frame. See top image.

Do not interfere with shock absorber mounting brackets or stabilizer bar mounting brackets.

EMERGENCY JACKING

Points designated on outline of body were specifically designed to facilitate use of vehicle’s own jack. Jacking points are indicated by circular dots on outline of body. If using floor jack or hoist, use extreme care to avoid damaging outer body shell.

Automatic transmission removal and installation applies to 1993-1995 Mazda RX7 models.

On Mazda RX7 models with anti-theft radio system, obtain code number from customer to deactivate radio anti-theft system BEFORE disconnecting negative battery cable. To deactivate radio anti-theft system, turn ignition switch to ACC position. Press SCAN and AUTO-M buttons simultaneously until “cod e” is displayed. Press SCAN and AUTO-M buttons again until 4 bars are displayed.

Use preset button No. 1 to enter first number. Use preset buttons No. 2, 3 and 4 to set other numbers. Press SCAN and AUTO-M buttons for about 2 seconds until a beep is heard. After 5 seconds, flashing “cod e” will go away and radio will operate.

Removal

1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support vehicle. Drain transmission fluid. Remove both undercovers. Remove secondary air injection pipe. Remove front exhaust pipe, heat insulator and catalytic converter. Mark drive shaft-to-differential assembly for reassembly reference.
2. Remove drive shaft. Insert plug in rear of transmission to prevent leakage. Lower vehicle. Support engine from above using proper engine support assembly. Raise vehicle. Remove front, center and rear crossmembers. Support differential with transmission jack. Remove power plant frame (beam connecting transmission to differential). Remove vacuum hose, shift rod and oil cooler lines from transmission.
3. Disconnect speed sensor. Remove starter. Disconnect neutral safety switch connector, 2 speed sensor connectors and solenoid valve connector. Remove dipstick tube. Remove all wiring harness connectors from transmission. Remove lower cover from converter housing. Using Wrench (49-0877-435), remove torque converter-to-flexplate bolts.
4. Support transmission from below using transmission jack. Remove transmission-to-engine bolts. Slowly lower transmission assembly out of vehicle.

Installation

1. To install transmission, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW bolts and nuts for power plant frame installation. Place a straightedge on flat area in left front edge of rear crossmember. Ensure straightedge passes under power plant frame bolts. Measure from top of straightedge to power plant frame. Distance should be 2.76-3.03″ (70-77 mm). If distance is not as specified, adjust power plant frame installation.
2. Torque converter is correctly seated when distance between engine mating surface of converter housing and face of converter is at least 1.16″ (30 mm). Tighten bolts to specification. Fill transmission with required amount of fluid, and check for external leaks.
