How to remove and install an automatic Transmission Assembly on 2012 Kia Sorento?

To remove the transaxle, first disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, then remove the battery and battery tray. Next, take out the entire air filter assembly along with the air duct, and disconnect the electrical connectors from the solenoid valve and inhibitor switch. For 3.5L V6 models, disconnect the electrical connector for the Crankshaft Position sensor. Disconnect the transmission fluid cooler hoses and seal their ends to prevent leakage and contamination, then disconnect the shift control cable. Support the engine securely from above using a fixture that mounts between the fenders, which can be rented if not owned. Remove the upper transaxle mounting bolts, and for 2.4L four-cylinder models, remove the starter. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts and the driveaxle/hub nuts, then raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the inspection plate and the torque converter-to-driveplate fasteners, rotating the engine for access to all bolts, while marking the position of the torque converter on the driveplate. Ensure the engine is solidly supported, then remove the subframe. Place a transmission jack under the transaxle, securing it with safety chains, and remove the remaining transaxle-to-engine bolts, checking that all connections are disconnected. Move the transaxle to the rear to disengage it from the engine block dowel pins, ensuring the torque converter is detached from the driveplate, then lower the transaxle with the jack, using locking pliers on the bellhousing case to prevent the torque converter from falling out. Finally, pull the transaxle out from beneath the vehicle and set it aside to avoid damage. For installation, follow the reverse order of removal, ensuring that the drive tangs of the torque converter hub engage with the recesses in the automatic transaxle fluid pump inner gear, confirmed by turning the torque converter while pushing it towards the transaxle. Align the matchmarks on the torque converter and driveplate, install all driveplate-to-torque converter nuts before tightening, and then tighten the fasteners, transaxle mounting bolts, subframe mounting bolts, driveaxle/hub nuts, and wheel lug nuts to the specified torque.
