FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
7. Pry off drive shaft from transaxle assembly side as shown.• Make sure that circlip is attached on the edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint when
removing from the transaxle.
• Do not excessively extend slide joint.
• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down. Support the entire
drive shaft.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant looseness.
• Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.
• If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Tighten to specifications.CAUTION:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
• In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, place Tool
onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as shown. Slide drive shaft
into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
• Install new circlip on drive shaft in the circlip groove on transaxle side. Refer to FAX-13, "
Disassembly and Assembly (Left Side)" .
CAUTION:
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fas-
tened.
• After its insertion, try to pull the flange out of the slide joint by hand. If it pulls out, the circlip is not properly meshed with the transaxle
side gear.
• Check transaxle fluid level. Refer to MT-11, "
Inspection" (Manual RS5F91R), MT-54, "Checking M/T Oil"
(Manual RS6F94R), AT-17, "Checking A/T Fluid" (Automatic), CVT-14, "Checking CVT Fluid" (CVT).

PRECAUTIONS
• Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.
• Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
• Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
• Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
• After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
• Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
• Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
• Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
• When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
• Before servicing the vehicle: Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic tro uble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC, CVT, and AT sections.
Precaution for Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000005399836
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst , the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
• Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
• When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec- essary.
• Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unleade d Regular Gasoline Recommended)INFOID:0000000005399837
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 91).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel

*6: If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF may also be used. Using automatic transmission
other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S or Genuine NISSIAN Matic D ATF will cause deteri oration in driveability and automatic transmis-
sion durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.

Check exhaust pipes, muffler and m ounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration.
• If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
CVT FLUID
CVT FLUID : Checking CVT FluidINFOID:0000000005714337
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 ° to 80° C (122° to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20 °C (68° F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 ° to 80° C
(122° to 176 °F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.
6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT fluid level gauge 180 ° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.
