REMOVAL

CAUTION:
- When removing the A/T assembly from engine, first remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the A/T assembly.
- Be careful not to damage sensor edge.
1. Shift the selector lever to "P" position, and then release the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
3. Remove control rod. Refer to Exploded View.
4. Separate rear propeller shaft. Refer to Component.
5. Remove engine under cover and front under cover with a power tool. Refer to Floor Side Fairing.
6. Remove rack stay. Refer to Component.
7. Remove crankshaft position sensor (POS) from A/T assembly. Refer to Component.

CAUTION:
- Never subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
Check fitting of dowel pin ( ) when installing A/T assembly to engine assembly.





- When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, be sure to check dimension (A) to ensure it is within the reference value limit.






Dimension (A) : Dimension between end of converter housing and torque converter 25.0 mm (0.98 in).

- When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.










- Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then, tighten the bolts with the specified torque.

CAUTION:
- When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
- When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque converter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to Exploded View.
- Rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that A/T rotates freely without binding after converter is installed to drive plate.
