CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission 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.

Do not reuse O-rings and copper washers. Refer to AT- 2 5 3 , "COMPONENTS" .

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.

When tightening the bolts 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-37, "
TIMING
CHAIN" .

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle
rotates freely without binding.

When installing the torque converter to the transaxle measure
distance A.

Check the fitting of the dowel pins when installing the transaxle
assembly and the engine assembly.
: Dowel pin (2)

When installing the transaxle to the engine, align the matching mark on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter.

When securing the transaxle to the engine, attach the bolts in
accordance with the following standard.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
80845-71L00: 30 mm (1.18 in) thick, 30×50 mm (1.18×1.97 in)
FELT CLOTH TAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
68370-4B000: 15×25 mm (0.59×0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in) wide tape roll. The following
materials not found in the kit can also be used to repair squeaks and rattles.
UHMW (TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used instead of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.
Generic Squeak and Rattle TroubleshootingEIS009DH
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.

BODY CENTER MARKS
A mark has been placed on each part of the body to indicate the vehicle center. When repairing parts dam-
aged by an accident which might affect the vehicle frame (members, pillars, etc.), more accurate and effective
repair will be possible by using these marks together with body alignment specifications.

4. Remove the four drive plate to torque converter nuts.
NOTE:
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from front of engine
for access to drive plate to torque converter nuts.
5. Put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter alignment stud.
CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the drive plate or torque converter.

7. Separate the transaxle from the engine.
8. If necessary, remove the following from the transaxle:

CVT fluid charging pipe

Engine mounting bracket (LH)

Fluid cooler tubes

Air breather hose

Any necessary brackets
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
