 (2WD) or 

EM-107, "4WD : Removal and Installation"

 (4WD).

Using paint, put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter when removing the torque con-

verter to drive plate nuts.

7. Remove transmission bracket.
8. Lift the transaxle from the front suspension member.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

Write down the serial number of the new transaxle assembly.

CAUTION:

• When replacing an engine or transaxle you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly during

re-assembly

• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive

train components.

• Do not reuse O-rings or copper sealing washers.

• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.

• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter while securing the crankshaft pulley bolt, be sure

to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt. Refer to 

EM-62, "Removal and Installa-

tion"

.

• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that CVT rotates

freely without binding.

• When installing the CVT to the engine, align the matching mark on the drive plate with the matching

mark on the torque converter.

When installing CVT assembly to the engine assembly, attach the bolts in accordance with

the following standard.

• When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts, tighten

them temporarily. then tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
