NOTE: When not using drive plate location guide, insert stud bolt of torque converter into the hole (C) of drive plate, aligning the drive plate hole position and torque converter. CAUTION: Be careful not to strike the drive plate when installing the torque converter stud bolt. see scheme 175: Identifying Drive Plate Service Hole
- Align the position of tightening nuts (<--) for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the nuts. Then, tighten the bolts to the specified torque.: 51 N.m (5.2 kg-m,38 ft-lb) CAUTION: When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine. When tightening the nuts for the torque converter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-295108-S13605773992008081400000) ". see scheme 176: Locating Drive Plate Nuts Rotate crankshaft several turns and check that transaxle rotates freely without binding after converter is installed to drive plate. Never reuse O-ring. Apply grease to O-ring.
