Install the starter (1) onto the transmission (3).
Install the starter bolts and tighten to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.). NOTE: Alignment of transaxle hub/coupler and engine crankshaft is critical for installation. NOTE: Before aligning the clutch hub on a new transaxle, the shipping retainer must be removed from the bellhousing, and the locking pin must be loosened enough to allow the clutch to rotate freely. CAUTION: Damage to the clutch assembly can occur if the clutch hub is not aligned correctly with the engine crankshaft.
Align the center of the hub (1), the center of both hub spring legs (4) and the center of the rear bellhousing stepped dowel hole (3) using a straight edge (2). NOTE: If the original transaxle is being reinstalled, always use a NEW locking pin. A replacement (new) transaxle will have a new locking pin installed.
If the original transaxle is being reinstalled, install a new locking pin (2) into the transaxle bellhousing.
Tighten the locking pin (2) to 3 Nm (27 in. lb). Then tighten the locking pin until the pull-out tab (1) is oriented at approximately a 45° angle relative to the transaxle mounting surface. NOTE: Alignment of transaxle hub/coupler is critical for installation. CAUTION: Damage to the clutch housing can occur if clutch hub alignment is not set correctly.
Use a straight edge (2) to verify that the center of the hub (1), the center of both hub spring legs (4) and the center of the bellhousing hole (3) are still aligned. NOTE: Always use the largest drill bit (3) that will fit in the alignment pin/hole (2). NOTE: Make sure that the couplers on both the transmission and engine are clean.
Apply grease to the couplers.
Install a drill bit (3) into the alignment pin/dowel hole (2). NOTE: The alignment pin/dowel hole (2) at the rear (exhaust) side of the engine is shown in illustration.
Rotate the crankshaft by hand until the flywheel alignment mark (1) aligns with the tip of the drill bit (3) in the alignment pin/dowel hole (2). NOTE: Make sure that the bellhousing mounting surface remains parallel to the engine block mounting surface while raising transaxle into position.
Place transaxle on a transmission jack and lift it into place. CAUTION: If the entire gap between the engine and transmission is more than 4 mm, then the clutch hub and engine crankshaft are not aligned correctly. If the gap between the engine and transaxle is more than 4 mm, do not use the bellhousing bolts to pull the transaxle and the engine block together. NOTE: Verify transaxle mounting surface is square/aligned with engine block mounting surface.
When the entire gap between the engine and the transmission is at 4 mm (3), install bolts through the alignment dowels and draw the transmission to the engine.
While listening for any signs of misalignment of the clutch hub such as scraping noise inside the bellhousing, use the crankshaft damper to rotate the engine by hand.

Remove the bolt (3) at the TRS.
Remove the screws (2) at the TRS.
Remove the eleven valve body bolts.
Remove the TCMA/valve body (1).
Remove the metal TCMA/valve body gaskets (1). NOTE: Make a note of alignment pin locations.
Remove the TCMA/valve body alignment pins (2) from the case.

Note. The valve body alignment pins are flared at the base. The narrow end is used to align the valve body during assembly.

Note. There are four pins, two short ones, and two long ones.

Install the valve body alignment pins (2) into the case in the same positions they were removed from during disassembly.
Clean and install the metal valve body gaskets (1).
Move the manual lever to the Drive position.

Install a pin/drill bit into the TRS tone wheel.
Install the valve body (1).
Install the eleven valve body bolts and tighten in two stages in the sequence shown in illustration. In the first stage, tighten the valve body bolts 5 Nm (44 in. lbs.). In the second stage, tighten the valve body bolts to 10 N.m (88 in. lbs.). NOTE: Maintain pin/drill bit position in the TRS hole and verify the manual lever stays in the Drive position during TRS installation.
Install the TRS into the case.
Install the screws (2) at the TRS and tighten to 6 N.m (53 in. lbs.).
Install the bolt (3) and a new O-ring at the TRS and tighten to 7 N.m (70 in. lbs.).
Remove the previously installed pin/drill bit from the TRS tone wheel.
Connect the speed sensor electrical connector (1) to the TRS.
Install the valve body oil pan (3).
Install the bolts (1 and 2) at the valve body oil pan and tighten to 8 N.m (70 in. lbs.)
Install the harness retaining clip (3) to the stud at valve body cover.
Connect the electrical connector (2) to the TRS (1).
Lower the vehicle.
Remove the transaxle fill plug (1) located on the top of the transaxle. NOTE: Use only BOT 341 fluid which is a full synthetic SAE 75W transmission fluid.
Add approximately 5.5 Liters of BOT 341 fluid and temporarily install the transaxle fill plug.
Start the vehicle and allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature This may take up to 15 minutes if the engine and transmission are cold.
Apply the brake and slowly cycle the gear shift through all ranges.
Shut off the engine, raise and support the vehicle and remove the transaxle fluid level check plug.
The fluid level should be at the top of the transaxle check hole (1) approximately 5.5 Liters. The vehicle must be level and the engine and transaxle must be warm when checking the level of the fluid. If the external transmission oil filter has been replaced, then an additional 0.1 Liter of BOT 341 fluid may be required. If the transaxle cooler and lines are empty, approximately 0.52 Liters of fluid may be required
When the fluid is at the correct level, install the transaxle fluid level check plug. Tighten the check plug (1) to 35 N.m (25 ft. lbs.).
If equipped, install the engine belly pan.
Lower the vehicle.
Install the transaxle fill plug (1) on the top of the transaxle. Tighten fill plug (1) to 35 N.m (25 ft. lbs.).
