REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
[[A]] CVT ASSEMBLY HARNESS CONNECTOR DISCONNECTION
While pressing A in the figure, turn B counterclockwise to unlock the CVT assembly connector, and disconnect the connector.
[[B]] TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY UPPER PART COUPLING BOLT REMOVAL
Only loosen the bolts from the engine and transaxle assembly (do not remove).
[[C]] TORQUE CONVERTER AND DRIVE PLATE COUPLING BOLT REMOVAL
1. Remove the coupling bolts while turning the crankshaft.
2. Fully push the torque converter into the transaxle side so that it does not remain on the engine side.
[[D]] INJECTOR PROTECTOR MOUNTING BOLT REMOVAL
Remove the injector protector mounting bolt (A shown in the illustration).
[[E]] TRANSAXLE MOUNTING BRACKET REMOVAL
1. Place a garage jack against the transmission case with a piece of wood in between to support the engine and transaxle assembly.
2. Operate a garage jack so that the weight of the engine and transaxle assembly is not applied to the transaxle mounting insulator, and remove the transaxle mounting bracket.
[[F]] ENGINE ASSEMBLY HOLDING
1.
CAUTION:
Since A and B in the figure differ in height, adjust the height by using the washer (approximately 1.5 mm) at B before tightening the bolts to the specified torque.
Tighten the engine hanger plate (special tool: MB992201) to the specified torque at A in the figure (injector protector mounting bolt) and B in the figure (vacuum pipe assembly mounting bolt).
Tightening torque: 20 ± 2 Nm (15 ± 1 ft-lb) (A in the figure)
Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 Nm (98 ± 8 in-lb) (B in the figure)
2. Install the hanger (special tool: MB991527).
3. [When engine hanger (Special tool: MB991928) is used]
(1) Assemble the engine hanger (Special tool: MB991928). (Set the components below to the base hanger.)
- Slide bracket (HI)
- Foot x 4 (standard) (MB991932)
- Joint x 2 (90) (MB991930)
(2)
Set the feet of the special tool as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Adjust the engine hanger balance by sliding the slide bracket (HI).
(3) Set the chain to hanger (special tool: MB991527) to support the engine and transaxle assembly. Remove the garage jack and then remove the transaxle assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.
4. [When using engine hanger (Special tool: MB991895)]
(1) Set the foot of the engine hanger (Special tool: MB991895) as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Slide the front foot of the engine hanger (Special tool: MB991895) to balance the engine hanger.
(2) Set the chain to hanger (special tool: MB991527) to support the engine and transaxle assembly. Remove the garage jack and then remove the transaxle assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
]]A[[ TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Fully push the torque converter into the transaxle side, and then assemble the transaxle assembly to the engine.
]]B[[ TRANSAXLE MOUNTING INSULATOR STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the transaxle mounting insulator stopper as shown in the figure.
]]C[[ INJECTOR PROTECTOR MOUNTING BOLT INSTALLATION
Tighten the injector protector mounting bolt (A in the figure) to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 20 ± 2 Nm (15 ± 1 ft-lb)
]]D[[ TRANSAXLE CONTROL CABLE (TRANSAXLE SIDE) INSTALLATION
1. Move the selector lever to the "N" range.
2. Move the manual control lever to Neutral position.
3. Align the hole at the end of the manual control lever and the hole in the inhibitor switch body flange (section A - A).
NOTE:
Insert a dia.5 mm (0.2 inch) bar into the aligned holes in the transmission range switch body flange and on the tip of the manual control lever to position the transmission range switch body.
4. Use the adjusting nut to tighten the transmission control cable to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9.5 ± 3.5 Nm (84 ± 31 in-lb)
5. Make sure that the transmission-side ranges that are corresponding to the transmission range operate and function without fail.
