• Rotate torque converter so that the stud bolt (A) for mounting the

drive plate location guide of torque converter aligns with the
mounting position of starter motor.

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

tion guide of drive plate aligns with the mounting position (B) of
starter motor.

CAUTION:

• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from

the front of the engine.

• Be careful that torque converter stud bolt is aligned to drive

plate hole position. Otherwise stud bolt contacts drive plate.

NOTE:
Insert stud bolt of torque converter into the hole of drive plate,
aligning the drive plate hole position and torque converter.

• Temporally tighten drive plate and torque converter connecting

nuts and tighten 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-43, "Removal and Instal-

lation"

.

• When installing transaxle assembly to the engine assembly, attach

the fixing bolts in accordance with the following.
