NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

lnstallation
NOTE:
. Engine removal is not required.
. The crankshaft oil seal housing should be dry.
Apply a light coat of grease to the crankshaft and to
the lips of the seals.
1. Using the special tool, drive in the timing pulley-
end seal until the driver bottoms against the oil
pump.
When the seal is in place, clean any excess grease
off the crankshaft and check that the oil seal lip is
not distorted.

2. Measure the flvwheel-end seal thickness and the oil
seal housing depth. Using the special tool. drive the
flywheel-end seal into the rear cover to the point
where the clearance between the bottom of the oil
seal and the right side cover is 0.5 - 0.8 mm (0.02 -
0.03 in) (see page 7-23).
NOTE: Align the hole in the driver attachment with
