Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000009417472

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 cloth 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 original 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-86, "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-85, "Exploded View"

.

6. Remove CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Refer to 

CL-16, "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

INFOID:0000000009417473

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check the operation of the control linkage. Refer to 

TM-21, "Inspection"

.

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including 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 leaks 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.
