Be careful not to damage other system or parts near by when removing the transaxle assembly.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Perform procedures below when replacement or reinstallation of the automatic transaxle assembly .
• In case of reinstalling the automatic transaxle.
If the differential oil seal is damaged and fluid is leaking, replace the oil seal with a new one. When installing the new oil seal, use the special tool.
Differential oil seal installer SST No.
A6GF1, A6MF1-1 → SST No.:09452-26100, 09231-H1100
A6MF1, A6MF2-1 → SST No.:09453-3L241, 09231-H1100
A6MF2, A6LF1, A6LF2 → SST No.:09453-3L240, 09453-2W100(4WD housing side), 09231-H1100
A6LF3 → SST No.:09453-3L340, 09231-H1100
After installing the automatic transaxle, check the ATF level after refilling the automatic transaxle with fluid.
(Refer to Hydraulic System - "Fluid")
Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.
• In case of replacing the new automatic transaxle.
After replacing the new automatic transaxle, it need not ATF refill & level check procedure because ATF is already filled with specified quantity inside new automatic transaxle.
Install the automatic transaxle after draining the remaining ATF inside the cooler by putting air into ATF cooler hose.
Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the GDS. Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the GDS.
Reset the automatic transaxle adaptive values using the GDS.
Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle Control System - "Repair procedures")
