ASSEMBLY TIPS
* Use care when installing right side drive axle into the transaxle case. The splined shaft can easily damage the seal.
IMPORTANT
* Before installing right side drive axle, be sure to install tool J 37292-B axle seal protector.
* Line up the flywheel to torque converter marks made at disassembly.
* Torque converter to flywheel bolts should always be tightened twice. The final torque should be 62 N.M (46 lb. Ft.).
* Check adjustment of the shift cables. Readjust as needed.
* After installing front wheel and tire assemblies, torque wheel nuts to specifications.
* When installing cross brace to struts:
1. Place assembly on inboard strut studs.
2. Install strut stud nuts and torque to 24 N.M (18 lb. Ft.).
3. Torque bar assembly through-bolts to 28 N.M (21 lb. Ft.).
O Check and adjust the fluid level as needed.
O Road test and check for leaks.
O When installing transaxle to engine block brace, tighten brace to engine bolts first and brace to transaxle case last to avoid pulling transaxle case out of line.
