Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur
from high pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap.
Slowly turn it a quarter
turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning
it all the way.
CAUTION:
- Perform when the engine is cold.
- When replacing the TCM and transaxle assembly as a set, replace
the transaxle assembly first and
then replace the TCM. Refer to TM-82, "Description".
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings
to prevent fluid from spilling.
- Remove engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-81, "Removal and
Installation (FWD)" (FWD) or
EM-85, "Removal and Installation (AWD)" (AWD).
- Remove the CVT water hoses from engine side. Refer to TM-212,
"Removal and Installation".

- After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft
several turns to check that CVT rotates
freely without binding.
- When installing the CVT to the engine, align the matching mark
on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter.
- When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts, tighten
them temporarily. then tighten the nuts to the
specified torque.
