Remove the transaxle assembly, after removing each bolt which connects the transaxle assembly and engine (Refer to "MT" Gr).
Insert the special tool (09411-25000) in the clutch disc to prevent the disc from shifting.
Loosen the bolts which attach the clutch cover to the flywheel in a star pattern. Loosen the bolts in succession, one or two turns at a time, to avoid bending the cover.
