Remove the thirty-two transmission case fasteners:

Thirty 12 mm bolts and nuts

Two 14 mm bolts and nuts

Reinstallation tip: Install five to eight 12 mm transmission case bolts equidistant around the circumference of the two halves of the case to tighten the two halves together. Once the two halves are mated, reinstall the rest of the 12 mm and the two 14 mm transmission case bolts in a criss-cross pattern.

Torque all transmission case bolts to 16 ft-lb (22 Nm). Re-torque all transmission case bolts after five hours. Wipe off any excess liquid gasket that squeezes out after you start tightening the two halves together.
