  7. REMOVE ONE-WAY CLUTCH O-RING (for Manual Transaxle)

    Tech Tips


    • This step should only be performed if there is a one-way clutch O-ring installed to the crankshaft.

    • Whether or not the vehicle has a one-way clutch O-ring depends on the date of manufacture of the engine.


    1. A011AE2

      Remove the one-way clutch O-ring from the crankshaft.

      Note

      The one-way clutch O-ring was removed from the specification, so it does not need to be installed.

  8. INSPECT RING GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY (for Manual Transaxle)


    1. Visually check the one-way clutch assembly installation surface for damage, deformation, and cracks.

    2. Check that the snap ring is not broken and fits correctly into the crankshaft bearing groove.

  9. REMOVE RING GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY (for Manual Transaxle)


    1. A011A85

      Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring.

    2. A0119PF

      If the one-way clutch assembly does not operate normally, replace it.

  11. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT BEARING (for Manual Transaxle)


    1. A0117VP

      Turn the crankshaft bearing by hand and check if it turns smoothly.

      If the bearing does not move smoothly and noiselessly, replace the crankshaft bearing.

      Note


      • If the snap ring is broken, the ring gear may move out from its original position and result in an oil leak. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm that the snap ring is installed correctly and undamaged when replacing the oil seal.

      • Be careful not to damage the crankshaft bearing.
