• unbalanced drive shafts
• Inspect yokes and axle shafts ends that go into the transmission for damage or wear
• Tire Sizes (verify tire size and tread depth is the same front to rear and right to left)
• Seals – Inspect and replace all external seals and gaskets (Input seals, driveline seals, pan gaskets, ect.)
• Use the correct factory recommended fluids and refill to factory recommended levels
• Inspect flywheel for cracks
• Inspect Pilot Shaft bushing/bearing
• Inspect Clutch and Pressure Plate for damage or wear

Norb’s Auto Salvage Engine Installation and Warranty Information

This Engine comes with the Standard 90 Day Warranty.  THIS IS A PART ONLY WARRANTY.   Warranty does not cover shipping cost. 

The WARRANTY and INTERCHANGE on this Engine assembly DOES NOT INCLUDE sensors or seals of any kind, freeze plugs, spark plugs, intake gaskets, water pumps, thermostats, timing components, and all external bolt on parts such as but not limited to intake and exhaust manifolds, valve covers, oil pans, timing covers, injectors, injection pumps, glow plugs, distributors, carburetors, throttle bodies, turbochargers, supercharges, harmonic balancers, flywheels and flex plates.  All non-warranted parts must be inspected by the installer for damage and to determine interchangeability from the original engine prior to installation.  Engines are sold as a long block interchange only. Change induction, exhaust, oil pan, and wiring harness etc. as needed.

Norb’s Auto Salvage will not pay for costs of transferring any parts.  Cost of labor and gaskets must be discussed and agreed upon by the mechanic and the purchaser before installation.  

The cooling system must be in good working condition, including fans, belts, water pumps and thermostats.  Flush or replace all oil coolers and lines per factory recommendations.  Failure to do so will result in damage to the engine and warranty will be void.  Warranty will be Void if Heat Tabs are melted or removed.

*Engines sold by Norb’s are Marked, Stamped, and have Heat Tabs installed on engines to indicate overheating.

• Oil and  Oil Filter
• Flush or Replace all Oil Cooler and Lines per Factory Recommendations 
• Air Filter
• Spark Plugs and Wires
• PCV
• Thermostat 
• Water Pump
• All External Seals
• All Timing components – Belts, Tensioners, Idlers, Guides
• Hoses
• Belts
• Oil and Temperature Sensors
• Freeze/Frost Plugs
• Intake, Valve Cover, and Oil Pan Gaskets

This is a list of common components that need replacing; all other sensors and bolt-on components and gaskets should be inspected prior to installation.  Consult a qualified mechanic and or TSB’s (Technical Service Bulletin) for information on known problems prior to installation.  Norb’s reserves the right at any time to refuse warranty if a “known bad”, or “high failure rate” gasket, belt, or part is NOT replaced and causes failure, or costs to repair. 

Inspect Prior to Installation or Extended Operation of the Engine

• Flush or Replace all Oil Cooler and Lines per Factory Recommendations 
• Cooling System – Radiator, Cooling Fans,
• Exhaust System – Catalytic Convertors
• Fuel Delivery System – Fuel Pressure Regulator, Injectors
• Air Intake – Air Filter Housing and Ductwork sealed properly

This is a list of the most common problems that cause engine failures. Ensure all systems and system components are operating properly prior to operating the engine.

Norb’s Auto Salvage Transmission Installation and Warranty Information

This Transmission comes with the Standard 90 Day Warranty.  THIS IS A PART ONLY WARRANTY.   Warranty does not cover shipping cost. 

*Transmissions sold by Norb’s are Marked, Tagged and Stamped for identification.   

Warranty on this transmission assembly DOES NOT INCLUDE seals of any kind located anywhere on the transmission. Failure to inspect and/or replace seals is done at installer’s risk!

Norb’s IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for electrical problems.  Check and compare electrical components prior to installation. Electrical components are not covered under warranty.

Reprogramming or relearning procedures are part of many OEM repair processes; this must be considered before a part is considered defective.

*Torque Converter Installation Procedures*

*Prior to reinstalling the torque converter, always inspect to make sure the collar and pump drive shaft is still in place, always compare with the original unit to make sure all necessary pieces are still intact and the torque converter bushing and front pump seal is in good condition after transporting of the transmission.   

*ALL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS MUST HAVE TORQUE CONVERTER PROPERLY ALIGNED AND FULLY SEATED.  FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.  

To fully seat most torque converters it is necessary to spin the torque converter by hand while slightly pushing upward and inward at the same time, typically there are two notches the torque converter must slide into, it must be in the second notch to be fully seated into the transmission.  

Never force the transmission and engine together.  The flex plate/flywheel should not come in contact with the torque converter when bolting the transmission and engine together, when properly installed the torque converter should move towards the flex plate when attaching the torque converter bolts.  

Filters may have been removed during inspection. Prior to installing a serviceable transmission a new filter must be installed.  

Electronic Transmissions

• Must check for any computer updates and TSB (Technical Service Bulletins)
• Scan for codes before you remove the unit and fix any service codes stored in the computer
• Reset the adaptive learn on the computer (failure to do so can result in poor shifting and transmission damage)
• Check electrical system (battery, alternator, grounds, electrical connectors, and wiring)
• Clean the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) a bad or dirty MAF can cause transmission issues without setting codes.  

All Transmissions

• Inspect and replace all external seals and gaskets (front pump seals, drive line seals, pan gaskets, ect.)
• Replace filter – Transmission pans have been removed for draining and inspecting, filters may be removed. 
• Flush coolers and lines with a hot flush machine, or replace them – must have proper Flow and Volume
• Use the correct factory recommended fluids and refill to factory recommended levels 
• Watch for units with Separate Transmission and Differential fluid (Both will be Drained and need to be refilled)
• Some transmission and transfer cases share fluids make sure contaminated fluid is not passed between components
• Inspect cooling lines and fittings for damage
• Ensure ALL Dowel Pins are in place
• Inspect flywheel for cracks
• Clean and grease crank pilot 
• Inspect mounts for damage or wear
• Inspect yokes and axle shafts ends that go into the transmission for damage or wear
• Transmission with drive shafts – Inspect drive shafts for damage and verify u-joints move freely, #1 cause of cracked transmission cases are bad u-joint or unbalanced drive shafts

This is a list of the most common problems that cause transmission failures. Ensure all systems and system components are operating properly prior to operating the transmission.
