TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

• When using the drive plate location guide (commercial service tool:

31197CA000) (A), set it to the stud bolts which is used to install it
to the torque converter.

• When not using drive plate location guide, rotate torque converter

so that the stud bolt (B) for mounting the drive plate location guide
of torque converter aligns with the mounting position of service
hole.

• Rotate crankshaft so that the hole (A) for inserting drive plate loca-

tion guide of drive plate aligns with the service hole (B).
NOTE:
When not using drive plate location guide, insert stud bolt of torque
converter into the hole (C) of drive plate, aligning the drive plate
hole position and torque converter.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to strike the drive plate when installing the
torque converter stud bolt.

• Align the position of tightening nuts (

) for drive plate with those

of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the nuts. Then,
tighten the bolts to the specified torque. 

CAUTION:

• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the

front of the engine.

• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter after fixing

the crankshaft pulley bolts, confirm the tightening torque of
the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to 

EM-79,

"Exploded View"

.

• Rotate crankshaft several turns and check that transaxle rotates freely without binding after con-

verter is installed to drive plate.

• Never reuse O-ring.
• Apply petroleum jelly to O-ring.
