  If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
2. Fully insert a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
3. Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the new gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.
  Note
  
  Be sure to install the gasket in the correct direction.
  
  Do not reuse the gasket.
  
  Do not damage the gasket.
  
  Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
4. Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 6 exhaust pipe supports.
5. Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
  
  Torque:
  
  43 N*m { 440 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

Note

When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. When shifting from P to R with the engine switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and moves correctly into the position.
2. Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to M.
3. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from N to D and moves rearward when shifting to R.
  
  If an operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
