Caution / Notice / Hint
As the engine assembly with transaxle is extremely heavy, the engine lifter may suddenly drop if the instructions listed in the repair information are not followed. Therefore, always follow the instructions listed in the repair information when performing this procedure.
for Manual Transaxle:
When the transaxle is removed, be sure to use a new clutch release with bearing cylinder and new installation bolts. Removal of the transaxle allows the compressed clutch release with bearing cylinder to return to its original position, and dust could damage the seal of the clutch release with bearing cylinder, possibly causing clutch fluid leaks.
HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repairs" after replacing the engine assembly, cylinder head sub-assembly, camshaft, No. 2 camshaft, camshaft timing gear assembly, camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly, piston sub-assembly or piston ring.
