Automatic Transaxle: Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Perform the following:

• Adjust the shift cable.
• Refill the transaxle with fluid.
• Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
• Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open.
• Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, assemble them, and apply grease to prevent corrosion.

1. Lowering the vehicle or lifting up a jack, install the transaxle assembly.
2. Tighten the transaxle under mounting bolts (A, B).

   TORQUE:

   34.3~41.2 Nm (350~420 Kgf.cm, 25.3~30.4 Ib.ft) - A

   45.1~52.0 Nm (460~530 Kgf.cm, 33.3~38.3 Ib.ft) - B
