Note following, and install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal.

CAUTION:

• Check fitting of dowel pin (

) when installing transaxle

assembly to engine assembly.

• When installing transaxle assembly to the engine assembly,

attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following.

• Set and screw in the drive plate location guide (commercial service

tool: 31197CA000) (A) onto the stud bolts for the torque converter
locate.

• When not using drive plate location guide, rotate torque converter

so that the stud bolt (A) for mounting the drive plate location guide

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

• Rotate crankshaft so that the hole (A) for inserting drive plate loca-

tion guide of drive plate aligns with the mounting position (B) of
starter motor.
NOTE:
When not using drive plate location guide, insert stud bolt of torque
converter into the hole of drive plate, aligning the drive plate hole
position and torque converter.

CAUTION:

Note that the stud bolt strikes the drive plate hole position is
not aligned the torque converter stud bolt.

• Align the position of tightening nuts (

) for drive plate with those

of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the nuts. Then,
tighten the bolts with the specified torque. 

CAUTION:

• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the

front of the engine.

• When tightening the tightening nuts for the torque converter

after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, confirm the tightening
torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to 

EM-

163, "Removal and Installation"

.

• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check that transaxle

rotates freely without binding.
