2. NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the case while removing the seal.
Using a suitable dent puller, remove the differential fluid seal.
Installation
1. Position the new differential fluid seal on the Output Shaft Seal Installer.
2. Using the Output Shaft Seal Installer, install the outer differential fluid seal.
3. Install the RH halfshaft. For additional information, refer to Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints.
4. With the transaxle in PARK, the vehicle on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm) and foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever
through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever back in the PARK position.
5. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
6. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
7. NOTE: In order to get an accurate transmission fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface. Idle the engine to reach the normal
operating temperature. Using the scan tool, verify that the transaxle is at normal operating temperature 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F), prior to
adjusting the transmission fluid level.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission fluid fill plug located on the
top of the transaxle near the transmission fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. Install the transmission fluid level indicator
back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the transmission fluid lever indicator. The transmission fluid level
should be at the uppermost mark on the transmission fluid level indicator. Only fill to the uppermost mark on the transmission fluid level indicator.
Do not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.
8. NOTE: The correct transmission fluid level at normal operating temperature of 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F) is between the top 2 marks on the
transmission fluid level indicator.
