ENGINE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

The engine assembly with transaxle is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the engine lifter may suddenly drop.

Note

for Manual Transaxle:

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

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    Note

    After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
