DRAINING
1. Start the engine and warm up the transmission unit sufficiently.
2. After stopping engine, remove filler plug and drain plug to drain oil.
3. Replace gasket on drain plug with new one. Screw drain plug into transmission case, and tighten to the
specified torque. Refer to MT-22, "
Case Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
FILLING
1. Fill new oil into the transmission to the level of the filler plug mounting hole.
2. Replace gasket on filler plug with new one. Screw filler plug into transmission case, and tighten to the
specified torque. Refer to MT-22, "
Case Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.
Checking M/T OilNCS0000U
OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
Check if oil is leaking from transmission or around it.
Check oil level from filler plug mounting hole as shown in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Never start engine while checking oil level.
When screwing in filler plug with a new gasket, first screw into
the transmission by hand, then tighten to the specified torque.
Refer to MT-22, "
Case Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.Oil grade and viscosity : Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .

2. Remove rear oil seal using oil seal puller.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to rear oil seal lip. Drive in rear oil
seal until the edge is approximately 1.2 - 2.2 mm (0.047 - 0.087
in) above the boss edge using drift.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse rear oil seal.
When installing, do not incline the rear oil seal.
2. Install propeller shaft. Refer to PR-6, "
Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:
Do not impact or damage propeller shaft tube.
If lubricant leak has occurred, after finishing work, check oil level. Refer to MT-9, "Checking M/T
Oil" . Tool number : KV381054S0 (J-34286)

Tighten transmission assembly mounting bolts to the specified
torque. The figure is the view from the vehicle forward.
Install clutch tube (1), clutch hose (2), and lock plate (3) and
then tighten clutch tube flare nut to the specified torque. Refer to
CL-15, "
Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:
The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire
harnesses and clutch hose.
When installing, be careful to avoid interference between transmission main drive gear and clutch
cover.
If flywheel is removed, align dowel pin with the smallest hole of flywheel. Refer to EM-111,
"ASSEMBLY" .
Do not impact or damage propeller shaft tube.
Refer to MT-14, "INSTALLATION" and MT-16, "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" for control
lever installation information.
After installation, check oil level, and oil leaks and loose mechanisms. Refer to MT-9, "Checking M/
T Oil" .
