Radiator Installation Note

1. The ATX oil cooler flushing must be performed whenever a transaxle is removed for service because the 

existing fluid may be contaminated, and to prevent contamination of new fluid. The flushing must be performed 
after installation of the overhauled or replaced transaxle. (See 05–17–40 OIL COOLER FLUSHING)

Oil Hose Installation Note

1. Apply compressed air to cooler-side opening 

more than 1 minute, and blow any remaining 
grime and foreign material from the cooler pipes.

2. Align the marks, and slide the oil hose onto the oil 

pipe until it is fully seated as shown.

3. Install the hose clamp onto the hose.

•

If reusing the hose, install a new hose clamp 
exactly on the mark left by the previous hose 
clamp.

4. Verify that the hose clamp does not interfere with 

any other components.

2. Remove the drive plate mounting bolts.

Drive Plate Mounting Bolts Installation Note

Caution

••••

If the bolts are reused, remove the oil sealant from the bolt threads. Tightening a bolt that has old 
sealant on it can cause thread damage.

1. Remove the sealant from the bolts hole in the crankshaft and from the drive plate mounting bolts.

Note

•

If all the previous sealant cannot be removed from a bolt, replace the bolts.

•

Do not apply sealant if new bolts are used.

2. Install the drive plate.
3. Install the adapter.
4. Apply sealant to the drive plate mounting bolts and install them.
5. Set the SST or equivalent against the drive plate.

Caution

••••

When installing sealant covered bolts tighten them immediately. Leaving these bolts in a half 
installed condition could cause them to be stuck that way, due to the natural hardening of the 
sealant.
