TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION
Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter
After inserting a torque converter to a transaxle, be sure to
check distance “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Set and screw in the drive plate location guide onto the stud
bolts for the torque converter locate.
Rotate the torque converter for the locate to go down.
Rotate the drive plate for the hole of the drive plate locate to go
down.Distance “A”: 14.0 mm (0.55 in) or more

Install transaxle assembly to engine assembly with a hoist.
When installing fluid cooler tube to transaxle assembly, assem-
ble the part with the tube aligned with the rib.
When installing transaxle to the engine, attach the fixing bolts in
accordance with the following standard.
Align the positions of tightening nuts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the nuts. Then,
tighten the nuts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed
from the front of the engine.
When tightening the tightening nuts for the torque con-
verter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to
confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley
mounting bolts. Refer to EM-181, "
INSTALLATION" .
After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure
that transaxle rotates freely without binding.
Install crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to EM-145, "Removal and Installation" .
After completing installation, check for fluid leakage, fluid level, and the positions of CVT. Refer to CVT-13,
"Checking CVT Fluid" , CVT-178, "Adjustment of CVT Position" , CVT-179, "Checking of CVT Position" .
When replacing the CVT assembly, erase EEP ROM in TCM. Refer to CVT-9, "Precautions for TCM and
CVT Assembly Replacement" .
