Transaxle Assembly, Continued:
7. Install both dowel pins (25) in the transaxle housing (20) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
8. Install left half of transaxle housing:
8.1. Place a 1/8-inch (3 mm) bead of Three Bond liquid gasket on mating surface of housing.
8.2. Install left half of transaxle housing (20) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
8.3. Install eleven bolts (24) in the case housing and tighten to 19 ft-lb (25.7 N·m). Type G transaxles
have no shims or gasket.
8.4. Install axle tube (14 and 35) with lock washers and bolts (9 and 8) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3).
Tighten the bolts to 36 ft-lb (49 N·m).
9. Install the brake assemblies as instructed. See Section 6 – Wheel Brake Assemblies in the appropri-
ate maintenance and service manual.
10. Apply a small amount of grease to the lip of the oil seal (15) (Figure 16a-5, Page 16a-3). See following
CAUTION.

CAUTION
• Clean any residual oil from the exposed end of the axle shaft and from the oil seal area prior to
installing the axle shaft.
11. Clean the splines on the axle shaft (1 and 2). Rotate the axle to align the shaft splines with the splined
bore of the differential side gear. Push the shaft in until the bearing seats against the shoulder in the axle
tube.
12. Install the retaining ring (6) in the axle tube. See following WARNING.
∆
WARNING
• Be sure the retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If the ring is not properly installed,
the axle assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other
components. Loss of vehicle control could result, causing severe personal injury.
13. Make sure the drain plug (22) is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Fill the tran-
saxle, through the level indicator hole, with 22 ounces of SAE 30 API Class SE, SF, or SG oil (a higher
grade may also be used). Install and tighten the level indicator plug (21) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m).
TRANSAXLE INSTALLATION
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. If using a chain hoist, raise the vehicle and place transaxle in position on the jack stands. If using a floor
jack, lower the jack stands to their lowest settings and place the transaxle in position on the jack stands.
2. Align the center hole in the saddle of the transaxle with the pilot bolt in the leaf spring assembly.
3. Install the two U-bolts, jounce bumper mount (if required), and spacers, lock washers, and nuts. Tighten
the nuts to 25 ft-lb (34 N·m). Tighten the U-bolt nuts so an equal amount of thread is visible on each leg
of the bolt.
4. Install the motor. See Section 15 – Motor.
