Warning

• Improperly jacking a transaxle is dangerous. It can slip off the jack and may cause serious injury.

Caution

• To prevent the torque converter and transaxle from separating, remove the transaxle without tilting it toward the torque converter.

11.Remove in the order shown in the figure.

Note

• Bolt A can be tightened on the nut side. When tightening on the nut side, tighten it according to the following tightening torque.

• The tightening torque when tightening from the bolt side is different than when doing it from the nut side because the amount of force required to tighten the bolt differs. These differences in force applied to the bolt are because of the differences in the surface treatment of the nut and bolt.
