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. Removal and Installation.

9.Remove starter motor. Removal and Installation.





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





13.Set a suitable jack to the transmission assembly.

CAUTION:
When setting a suitable jack, be careful so that it does not contact with the wire harness.
NOTE:
By placing wooden block between oil pan (upper) and front suspension member, the removal of transmission assembly from engine becomes easier.
14.Remove engine mounting insulator (rear) mounting nuts. Removal and Installation.
15.Remove rear engine mounting member. Removal and Installation.
16.Remove engine and transmission mounting bolts using a power tool [Commercial service tool].

- The transmission assembly must not interfere with the wire harnesses and clutch hose.
- The main drive gear must not interfere with the clutch cover.
- Never hold control lever housing to prevent the bushing of control lever housing from deformation when moving transmission assembly.
20.Remove CSC body and CSC tube. Removal and Installation.
21.Remove dynamic dampers. Removal and Installation.
