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" .

HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER
The vehicle speed signal and the memory signals from the meter memory circuit are processed by the
combination meter and the mileage is displayed.
Depressing the odo/trip meter switch toggles the mode in the following order.
The odo/trip meter display mode toggling and trip display resetting can be identified by the amount of time
that elapses from pressing the odo/trip meter switch to releasing it.
When resetting with trip A displayed, only trip A display is reset (The same way for “trip B”).
