PROCEDURE.

1. Before installing the transaxle, install the right axle shaft in place, since its

installation will be impossible later (after the transaxle is connected to the engine).

2. Screw in the lower transaxle case-to-engine bolts and tighten them to the specified torque. Bolt tightening torque 60 N·m.

3. Install the left rear bracket bolts. Tighten the engine-to-bracket mounting bolts to torque 90 N·m.

4. Install the left front bracket and bolts. Tighten the front bracket-to-transaxle case mounting bolts to torque 60 N·m. Tighten the bracket-to-support mounting

bolts to torque 60 N·m.

5. Leave both axle shafts in the transaxle case.

6. Connect the steering tie rod ball joints and secure them.

7. Carefully insert the input shaft into the splined holes of the gear assembly and

clutch driven disc. To return the shaft to its original position relative to mating parts, align it with the mark made before disassembly.

8. Screw the bolt into the input shaft
