id051721801100

Warning

•  A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool.

•  Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eyeglasses whenever using compressed air.

Caution

•  Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

1.  Remove the primary control valve body.

(1)  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

(2)  Remove the aerodynamic under cover NO.2. (SeeAERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER NO.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

(3)  Clean the transaxle exterior throughout with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents.

(4)  Drain the ATF into a separate suitable container. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [FS5A-EL].)

(5)  Remove the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.8, MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5].) (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.0 DISI].)

(6)  Remove the front crossmember. (See FRONT CROSSMEMBER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

(7)  Disconnect the coupler component connector (primary).

(8)  Remove the oil pan. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FS5A-EL].)

(9)  Remove the primary control valve body. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL [FS5A-EL].)

(10)  Remove the coupler component (primary) from transaxle case.

(11)  Remove the O-ring from the coupler component (primary).

2.  Install the primary control valve body.

(1)  Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it on the coupler component (primary).

(2)  Install the coupler component (primary) to transaxle case.

(3)  Install the primary control valve body. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)

Caution

•  If any old sealant gets into the transaxle during installation of the oil pan, trouble may occur in the transaxle case and oil pan, and clean with cleaning fluids.

(4)  Apply a light coat of silicon sealant (TB1217E) to the contact surfaces of the oil pan and transaxle case.

3.  Install the oil pan before the applied sealant starts to harden.

Caution

•  The removed bolts with spring washer cannot be reused. If they are reused, it could loosen the bolts due to spring weakness.

4.  Install the front crossmember. (See FRONT CROSSMEMBER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Install the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.8, MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5].) (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.0 DISI].)

6.  Add the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT [FS5A-EL].)

7.  Connect the coupler component connector (primary).

8.  Install the aerodynamic under cover NO.2. (SeeAERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER NO.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

9.  Connect the negative battery cable.

10.  Perform the “Mechanical System Test“. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST [FS5A-EL].)
