2. Disconnect the transaxle harness connectors.
3. Disconnect the CVT oil warmer water hoses from engine side. Refer to TM-199, "WATER HOSE :
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
5. Remove the CVT fluid charging pipe.
6. Separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.
NOTE:
Using paint, put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter when removing the torque con-
verter to drive plate nuts.
7. Remove transmission bracket.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Write down the serial number of the new transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or tr ansaxle you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly during
re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels m ay cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
• Do not reuse O-rings or copper sealing 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-62, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
• After converter is installed to drive plate, rota te crankshaft several turns to check that CVT rotates
freely without binding.
• When installing the CVT to the engine, align the ma tching mark on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter.
When installing the CVT to the engine, attach the bolts in accor-
dance with the following standard.
• (A) : Transaxle assembly to engine assembly.
• (B) : Engine assembly to transaxle assembly.

• When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts,
tighten them temporarily. then tighten the nuts to the
specified torque.
Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000009464162
INSPECTION BEFORE INSTALLATION
After inserting a torque converter to the CVT, check dimension (A)
with in the reference value limit.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check the following items:
• CVT fluid leakage, refer to TM-178, "Inspection"
.
• For CVT position, refer to TM-180, "Inspection"
.
• Start the engine and check for coolant leakage from the parts which are removed and reinstalled.
ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
• Adjust the CVT fluid level. Refer to TM-84, "Adjustment".
• Perform "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY". Refer to TM-81, "Descrip-
tion".
