Summary

Transmission, Oil Pump, Torque Convertor, and Flexplate This applies to VF Models only: For 62TE transmission only. If the transmission bracket to the transmission case fasteners are removed during servicing, the fasteners (Part Number 06511385A$) are one time usage. New fasteners need to be ordered. Do not reuse the existing fasteners. Follow tightening sequence and torque to 105Nm (77 ft. lbs) as shown in TechConnect service information.~ If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate inspect the transmission dowel pin alignment holes in the transmission. If they are damaged the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate due the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair.
