TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
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.
6. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
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.

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.

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-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.

INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The figure shows the relationship between the matching mark on
each timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the
components installed.
1. Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up.
NOTE:
*: There are two outer grooves in camshaft sprocket (INT). The wider one is a matching mark.
2. If the timing chain tension guide (front cover side) is removed, install it to the front cover.
CAUTION:
Check the joint condition by sound or feeling.
3. Install crankshaft sprocket (2), oil pump sprocket (3) and oil
pump drive chain (1).

Install it by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and oil
pump drive chain.

If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the oil pump
shaft slightly to correct the position.
CAUTION:
Check matching mark position of each sprocket after
installing the oil pump drive chain.

4. Hold the WAF part of oil pump shaft (A), and then tighten the oil
pump sprocket bolt.
CAUTION:

Secure the oil pump shaft with the WAF part.

Never loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt by tightening the
oil pump drive chain.
5. Install chain tensioner (for oil pump) (1).

Fix the plunger at the most compressed position using a stop-
per pin (A), and then install it.

Securely pull out ( ) the stopper pin after installing the chain
tensioner (for oil pump).

Check matching mark position of oil pump drive chain and
each sprocket again.
6. Align the matching marks of each sprocket with the matching
marks of timing chain.
NOTE:
*: There are 2 outer grooves in camshaft sprocket (INT). The
wider one is a matching mark.

If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the camshaft
slightly by holding the hexagonal portion to correct the posi-
tion.
CAUTION:
Check matching mark position of each sprocket and timing
chain again after installing the timing chain.

CAUTION:
Be sure O-rings a aligned properly.
13. Apply the sealant without breaks to the specified location using
Tool.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
14. Make sure that matching marks of timing chain and each sprocket are still aligned.
CAUTION:

Make sure O-ring on cylinder block is correctly installed.

Be careful not to damage front oil seal by interference with front end of crankshaft.
15. Install front cover, and tighten bolts in numerical order as shown.
CAUTION:
Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after liquid gas-
ket application.
NOTE:
Refer to the following for the installation position of bolts.
16. Tighten all bolts are in two stages to specified torque in numeri-
cal order as shown.
CAUTION:
Be sure to wipe off any excessive liquid gasket leaking.
17. Install crankshaft pulley.
CAUTION:

Never damage front oil seal lip section.Tool number WS39930000 ( – )
