REAR CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL(w/ Stop And Start System) REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When the transaxle is removed, be sure to use a new clutch release with bearing cylinder and new installation bolts. Removal of the transaxle allows the compressed clutch release with bearing cylinder to return to its original position, and dust from the moving section could damage the seal of the clutch release with bearing cylinder, possibly causing clutch fluid leaks.
