Adjustment of CVT PositionINFOID:0000000005928965
CAUTION:
Make sure that parking brake is applied before adjustment.
1. Loosen the shift selector control cable nut (A) and place the manual lever (1) in “P” position.
2. Place shift selector in “P” position.
3. Push the control cable (2) in with a load of 9.8 N (approximately 1 kg, 2.2 lb). Release the shift selector control cable and tempo-
rarily tighten the shift selector control cable nut.
NOTE:
Do not move the manual lever. Make sure the manual lever
stays in the “P” position.
4. Tighten the shift selector control cable nut. CAUTION:
Secure the manual lever when tighteningshift selector con-
trol cable nut.
5. Check the operation of the CVT. Refer to CVT-164, "
Checking of CVT Position".
Checking of CVT PositionINFOID:0000000005928966
1. Place shift selector in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure shift selector can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure shift selector can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the shift selector and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the shift selector stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all
the positions. Check that the actual position of the shift selector matches the position shown by the posi-
tion indicator and the manual lever on the transaxle.

CVT OIL WARMER SYSTEM
When installing water hoses, install them according to the following:
• Insert CVT water hose according to dimension “A” described
below.
• Set hose clamps (1) at the both ends of fluid cooler hose (2) with dimension (A) from the hose edge.
• Hose clamp should not interfere with the bulge.
*: Refer to the illustrations for the specific position of each hose clamp tab.
• The illustrations indicate the view from the hose ends.
• When installing hose clamps the center line of each clamp tab should be positioned as shown.

3. Remove the harness from the transaxle.
4. Remove the four drive plate to torque converter nuts. NOTE:
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from front of engine
for access to drive plate to torque converter nuts.
5. Put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter alignment stud. CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never dama ge the drive plate or torque converter.
6. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
7. Separate the transaxle from the engine.
8. If necessary, remove the following from the transaxle: • CVT fluid charging pipe
• Engine mounting bracket (LH)
• Fluid cooler tubes
• Air breather hose
• Any necessary brackets
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure any dowels are installed correctlyduring re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive train components.
• Do not reuse O-rings and copper washers.
• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter while securing the crankshaft pulley bolt, be sure
to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt. Refer to EM-159
.
• After converter is installed to drive plate, ro tate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle
rotates freely without binding.
