REAR CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

When the manual transaxle assembly 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.
