Transaxle Reassembly: Notes

NOTE: Handle all parts carefully to avoid damaging bearings and mating surfaces. Lubricate all parts with clean ATF. Use petroleum jelly on gaskets, thrust washers and thrust bearings to retain them in place. Soak all friction discs in ATF for at least 15 minutes. Use all NEW gaskets and seals, and tighten bolts to specification.

NOTE: Perform transaxle reassembly procedure steps in order. DO NOT skip any steps. Ensure proper identification and location of thrust bearings and thrust washers. See Figure .
