25. Remove transmission assembly from the vehicle.
CAUTION:

Secure transmission assembly to a suitable jack while
removing it.

The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch hose.

Do not hold control lever housing to prevent bushing of control lever housing from deformation
when moving transmission assembly.
26. Remove dynamic damper.
27. Remove CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and tube. Refer to CL-11, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:
If transmission assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cyl-
inder) body and CSC tube. Return CSC body insert to original position to remove transmission
assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may damage seal of CSC body and may cause clutch
fluid leakage.
