1996 HONDA CIVIC transmission cable

Transmission Assembly
lnstallation
Install the transmission assembly in the reverse order of
removal.
. Before installing, check that the two dowel pins are
installed in the clutch housing.
. When installing the starter cable. make sure that the
crimped side of the ring terminal is facing out (see
section 23).
. Apply grease to the parts as shown, then install the
release fork and release bearing.
NOTE; Use only Super High Temp Urea Grease(P/N 08798 -9002).
