Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Service Precautions

TRANSMISSION PRECAUTIONS

Caution
^ Do not reuse transmission oil, once it has been drained.
^ Check oil level or replace oil with vehicle on level ground.
^ During removal or installation, keep inside of transmission clear of dust or dirt.
^ Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If mating marks are required, be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts they are applied to.
^ In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If tightening sequence is specified, observe it. Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

Precautions for Battery Service
Before disconnecting the battery, lower both the driver and passenger windows. This will prevent any interference between the window edge and the vehicle when the door is opened/closed. During normal operation, the window slightly raises and lowers automatically to prevent any window to vehicle interference. The automatic window function will not work with the battery disconnected.
