WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure
coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick clot h around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn to
allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). The CSC slides back to the orig inal position every time
the transaxle assembly is removed. This action may allow dust or contaminants to gather on the slid-
ing parts and damage a seal of CSC causing clutch fluid leakage.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-87, "Removal and Installation".
2. Disconnect the reverse lamp switch harness connector.
3. Remove the bolts that fasten the transaxle assembly and engine assembly.
4. Remove transaxle assembly from the engine assembly.
5. Remove engine mounting bracket (LH). Refer to EM-86, "
Exploded View".
6. Remove CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Refer to CL-17, "
Removal and Installation".
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Secure transaxle assembly to a suitable jack.
• The transaxle assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch tube.
• When installing transaxle assembly, do not bring input shaft into contact with clutch cover.
• Bolt hole is not threaded on new clutch housing. Self-tapping bolt is used to attach lock plate to
clutch housing.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Check the operation of the control linkage. Refer to TM-21, "Inspection".
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no lea ks of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012430981
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000012430982
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.
Precaution for TCM, Transaxle Asse mbly or Control Valve ReplacementINFOID:0000000012430983
CAUTION:
• To replace TCM, refer to TM-125, "
Description".
• To replace transaxle assembly or control valve, refer to TM-127, "
Description".

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and EngineINFOID:0000000012430986
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system . It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to warn the
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and di sconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Removal and Installation Proc edure for CVT Unit ConnectorINFOID:0000000012430987
REMOVAL
• Rotate bayonet ring (A) counterclockwise. Pull out CVT unit har-
ness connector (B) upward and remove it.
INSTALLATION
1. Align marking (A) on CVT unit harness connector terminal with
marking (B) on bayonet ring. Insert CVT unit harness connector.
2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise.
3. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until marking (A) on CVT unit har- ness connector terminal body is aligned with the slit (B) on bayo-
net ring as shown in the figure (correctly fitting condition).
