Installation Procedure

    IMPORTANT: Follow this procedure exactly or the transaxle will have no reverse gear due to the servo pin missing the band.
  1. Jack up the driver side of the car until the channel plate side is higher than the differential side. This ensures that the reverse band is in the proper location and not cocked to the channel plate side of the case.
