Show description

Jam the ring gear teeth to prevent rotation. 15 Remove the engine rear plate. 16 Turn the cylinder block so that it is standing upside down. 17 Unbolt and remove the crankshaft rear oil seal carrier. Note the sump fixing studs. 18 The main bearing caps should be marked 1, 2 and 3 but if they are not, centre punch them and note which way round they are located. 19 Unscrew the main bearing cap bolts progressively. 20 Remove the bearing caps and half shells. If the shell bearings are to be used again, keep them with their respective caps.

The splined input shaft should pass easily through the hub of the driven plate, provided the plate has been centralised as described in Chapter 5. It may be necessary to align the splines with the hub grooves, in which case have an assistant turn the crankshaft pulley nut. The alignment dowels will make the connection stiff, so drawing the engine and transmission together with two connecting bolts will ease it. 2 Once the engine and transmission are fully engaged, insert and tighten all the connecting bolts.

17 The bushes should still be tight in the cylinder block, their oil holes lined up with those in the block. 18 Measure the bearing clearance. If excessive, the bushes will have to be renewed. They are a press fit, and require reaming with a special reamer after fitting. This is a job best done by a Fiat agent with the special tools. 19 Ensure the new bushes are fitted with the oil holes lined up. 20 Also check the driven gear and its bush. 21 It is recommended a new oil seal is fitted in the endplate.
