REMOVAL
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 cl oth 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 the TCM and transaxle assembly as a set, replace the transaxle assembly first and
then replace the TCM. Refer to TM-80, "Description"
.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.
Transaxle assembly O-ring CVT fluid charging pipe

Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
5. Remove the CVT fluid charging pipe.
6. Separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-84, "Removal and Installation"
.
NOTE:
Using paint, put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter when removing the torque con-
verter to drive plate nuts.
7. Remove transmission bracket.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Write down the serial number of the new transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or tr ansaxle you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly during
re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels m ay cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
• Do not 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-62, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
• After converter is installed to drive plate, rota te crankshaft several turns to check that CVT rotates
freely without binding.
• When installing the CVT to the engine, align the ma tching mark on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter.
When installing the CVT to the engine, attach the bolts in accor-
dance with the following standard.
• (A) : Transaxle assembly to engine assembly.
• (B) : Engine assembly to transaxle assembly.
