8) Disconnect front suspension control arm ball joint
stud from steering knuckle.
9) Pull out drive shaft joint as follows. • For differential sideUsing tire lever (1), pull out drive shaft joint (2) so
as to release snap ring fitting of joint spline at
differential side.
• For center shaft side Using plastic hammer (3), drive out drive shaft
joint (2) so as to release snap ring fitting of joint
spline at center shaft.
10) Remove drive shaft assembly. 11) Remove center bearing support bolts (3) and remove center bearing support (2) with center shaft (1) from
differential side gear. Installation
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to damage oil seals and
boots when installing drive shaft.
• Do not hit joint boot with hammer. Inserting joint only by hands is allowed.
• Make sure that differential side joint is inserted fully and its snap ring is seated as
it was.
Install drive shaft assemb ly by reversing removal
procedure and noting the following points.
• Tighten each bolt and nut to the specified torque referring to “Front Drive Shaft Assembly Components
Location”.
• Tighten brake hose mounting bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Brake hose mounting bolt: 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m,
18.0 lb-ft)
• Fill transaxle with oil as sp ecified referring to “A/T
Fluid Change in Section 5A” or “Manual Transaxle Oil
Change in Section 5B”.
• Check toe setting referring to “Front Wheel Alignment Inspection and Adjustment in Section 2B” and adjust

Troubleshooting
Time Lag TestS7RS0B5104015
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range an d measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Lower than standard level
in both “D” and “R” range Engine output torque failure
Inspect and repair engine.
Faulty one-way clutch of torque
converter Replace torque converter.
Higher than standard
level in “D” range Malfunction of pressure control solenoid

level in “R” range Malfunction of pressure control solenoid
valve (Low line pressure) Inspect. If NG, replace valve body assembly.
Faulty valve body component Replace valve body assembly.
Slippery reverse clutch Inspect. If NG, replace.
Slippery 1st and reverse brake Inspect. If NG, replace.
Leakage from “R” range fluid pressure
circuit Replace valve body assembly.
Higher than standard
level in both “D” and “R”
range Malfunction of pressure control solenoid
valve (Low line pressure)
Inspect. If NG, replace valve body assembly.
Faulty valve body component Replace valve body assembly.
Clogged oil strainer Replace.
Faulty oil pump Inspect. If NG, replace.
