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.

9.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.

10.  Install in the reverse order of removal.

11.  Add ATF to the specified level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [FN4A-EL].)

12.  Perform the mechanical system test. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [FN4A-EL].) (See ROAD TEST [FN4A-EL].)
