REMOVAL

WARNING:

Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure
coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn a quarter turn to
allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way.

CAUTION:

• Perform when the engine is cold.
• When replacing TCM and transaxle assembly simultaneously, perform “ADDITIONAL SERVICE

WHEN REPLACING TCM AND TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY” before work. Refer to 

TM-284, "Work Proce-

dure"

.

NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

1.

Remove engine and transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to 

EM-173, "Removal and Installation"

.

2.

Remove starter motor. Refer to 

STR-25, "MR20DD : Exploded View"

.

3.

Remove transfer assembly. Refer to 

DLN-76, "Removal and Installation"

. (4WD models only)

4.

Remove the CVT water hoses from engine side. Refer to 

TM-405, "Exploded View"

.

5.

Turn crankshaft, and remove the tightening nuts for drive plate and torque converter.

CAUTION:

Rotate crankshaft clockwise (as viewed from the crankshaft pulley side).

6.

Remove the bolts that fasten the transaxle assembly and engine assembly.

7.

Separate the engine from the transaxle assembly.
NOTE:
Using paint, put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter when removing the torque con-
verter to drive plate nuts.

8.

Remove following parts from transaxle assembly.
• Control cable bracket (Refer to 

TM-385, "Exploded View"

.)

• Air breather hose (Refer to 

TM-393, "Exploded View"

.)

• CVT water hoses and heater thermostat (Refer to 

TM-405, "Exploded View"

.)

• CVT fluid cooler hose and tube (Refer to 

TM-408, "Exploded View"

.)

• Charging pipe and O-ring

INSTALLATION

Note the followings and installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• Write down the serial number of the new transaxle assembly.

• When replacing an engine or transaxle you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly during

re-assembly

• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive

train components.

• Never 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-183, "Exploded View"

.

• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that CVT rotates

freely without binding.

• When installing the CVT to the engine, align the matching mark on the drive plate with the matching

mark on the torque converter.

• When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts, tighten them temporarily. Then, tighten the nuts to

the specified torque.

• Install the transaxle assembly and engine assembly mounting bolts according to the following standards.
