Remove magnet (3) from oil pan.

INSTALLTION

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

CAUTION:

• Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc. from the oil pan gasket mounting surface of

transaxle case and oil pan.

• Never reuse oil pan gasket, O-ring and oil pan fitting bolts.
• Apply CVT fluid to O-ring.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000003306184

Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the CVT fluid is very dark, smells
burned, or contains foreign particles, frictional material (clutches) may need replacement. A tacky film that will
not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump
pressure.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for CVT fluid leakage and check CVT fluid level. Refer to

TM-149, "Inspection"

.

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

When installing transaxle assembly to the engine assembly, attach
the fixing bolts in accordance with the following.

• When using the drive plate location guide (commercial service tool:

31197CA000) (A), set it to the stud bolts which is used to install it
to the torque converter.

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

so that the stud bolt (B) for mounting the drive plate location guide
of torque converter aligns with the mounting position of service
hole.

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

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

CAUTION:

Be careful not to strike the drive plate when installing 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 to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

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

front of the engine.

• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter after fixing

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