TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY


Removal and Installation


CAUTION:
Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC tube. Because CSC slides back to the original position every time when removing transmission assembly. At this timing, dust on the sliding parts may damage a seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage. Refer to Removal and Installation.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
2. Remove exhaust mounting bracket. Refer to Removal and Installation.
3. Remove suspension member stay. Refer to .
4. Remove exhaust front tube, center muffler, and main muffler. Refer to Removal and Installation.
5. Separate propeller shaft assembly. Refer to Removal And Installation.

NOTE:
Insert a suitable plug into rear oil seal of transmission assembly after separating propeller shaft assembly.
6. Remove control lever assembly with the following procedure.





a. Remove control rod mounting bolt and then separate control lever assembly from control rod.
b. Remove console finisher assembly as shown in the figure. Refer to Removal And Installation.





c. Remove felt as shown in the figure.
d. Remove center console assembly to remove hole cover as shown in the figure. Refer to Removal And Installation.





e. Remove hole cover.
f. Remove control lever boot B, hole insulator, and control lever boot A.





g. Remove guide plate mounting bolts and then remove guide plate, control lever assembly, and control lever spring from control lever housing.

CAUTION:
Restrain guide plate while doing this because there is a danger control lever assembly will fly out of control lever housing.





7. Remove clutch tube (1), clutch hose (2), and lock plate (3). Refer to Removal and Replacement.





CAUTION:
- Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected area with water.
- Never depress clutch pedal during removal procedure.





NOTE:
Insert a suitable plug into clutch hose and CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) tube after removing clutch tube.
8. Remove crankshaft position sensor. Refer to Exploded View.

CAUTION:
- Handle carefully to avoid dropping and shocks.
- Never disassemble.
- Never allow metal powder to adhere to magnetic part at sensor tip.
- Never place sensors in a location where they are exposed to magnetism.
9. Remove starter motor. Refer to Removal and Installation.





10. Remove rear plate cover. Refer to .
11. Disconnect park/neutral position (PNP) switch connector.
12. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 2 (bank 1) and heated oxygen sensor 2 (bank 2) connectors. Refer to Removal and Installation.
13. Remove harness brackets.





14. Set a suitable jack to the transmission assembly.

CAUTION:
When setting a suitable jack, be careful so that it does not contact with the switch.
15. Remove engine mounting insulator (rear) mounting nuts. Refer to Removal and Installation.
16. Remove rear engine mounting member. Refer to Removal and Installation.
17. Remove engine and transmission mounting bolts with power tool.
18. Lower a suitable jack to the position where the back-up lamp switch connector can be disconnect. Then disconnect back-up lamp switch connector.
19. Remove transmission assembly from the engine.

CAUTION:
- Secure transmission assembly to a suitable jack while removing it.
- The transmission assembly must not interfere with the three way catalyst (right bank) and three way catalyst (left bank).
- The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch hose.
- Never hold control lever housing to prevent the bushing of control lever housing from deformation when moving transmission assembly.
20. Remove CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC tube. Refer to Removal and Installation.

CAUTION:
Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC tube. Because CSC slides back to the original position every time when removing transmission assembly. At this timing, dust on the sliding parts may damage a seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage. Refer to Exploded View Removal and Installation,
21. Remove dynamic damper. Refer to Removal and Installation.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.





- Tighten transmission assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque. The figure is the view from the vehicle forward.





CAUTION:
- The transmission assembly must not interfere with the three way catalyst (right bank) and three way catalyst (left bank).
- The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch hose.
- When installing transmission assembly, never bring main drive gear into contact with clutch cover.
- Never hold control lever housing to prevent the bushing of control lever housing from deformation when moving transmission assembly.
- Refer to Removal and Installation for CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC tube installation procedure.
- Refer to Removal and Replacement for clutch tube and clutch hose installation procedure.
- Refer to Removal and Installation for control lever assembly installation procedure.
- If flywheel is removed, align dowel pin with the smallest hole of flywheel. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly.
