INSPECTION
Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter

After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check
dimension “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.

When installing transaxle to engine, attach fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.

4. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-36, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-233,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-131, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
4. Disconnect heater hose (left side of vehicle) at the position in
the figure.

Enhance heater hose as high as possible.
5. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.
CAUTION:
Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments
(alternator etc.).

Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute to allow air
in system to escape.

Use NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to
MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".

When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the
engine coolant.
6. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-131, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
7. Install radiator cap.Radiator drain plug:

Refer to GI-10, "Components" for symbol marks in the figure.
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine
coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to
release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL
1. Remove undercover.
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-34, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-131, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
4. Disconnect harness connector from fan motors, and move harness to aside.
