INSTALL OR CONNECT
NOTICE:
-
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The
manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require
thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion
inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping
force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
-
Do not use any type of grease to retain parts during assembly of this unit. Greases other than the recommended assembly lube will change
transaxle fluid characteristics and cause undesirable shift conditions and/or filter clogging. It is recommended that TRANSJEL (tm) J 36850 or
equivalent be used during assembly.
