15. Remove the lower crankcase guard.
16. Remove the exhaust pipe A.
S4NA
17. Remove the engine mounting bracket.
18. Remove the torque converter lower cover and shift control cable holder. When removing the shift control cable, first remove the cotter pin and pin, and then separate the control lever,
19. Remove the eight torque converter drive plate mounting bolts one at a time while rotating the crankshaft pulley to gain access.
20. Loosen the bolts and remove the right front engine mount.

22. Connect the lifting bracket to the engine using the distributor mounting bolt, and then lift the engine slightly.
S4NA, S4PA, S4XA
23. Place a jack under the transmission and lift the transmission slightly to remove the weight from the support, then remove the transmission mounting bracket.
24. Loosen the gearbox housing mounting bolts and the mounting bolts to the rear of the engine.
25. Move the gearbox away from the engine until there is a 14 mm gap, which is necessary for the installation pins to come out, and then lower the gearbox on the jack.
