  1. Attach the torque converter on the transaxle side and mount the transaxle assembly onto the engine.
    CAUTION: If the torque converter is mounted first on the engine, the oil seal on the transaxle may be damaged. Therefore, first be sure to assemble the torque converter to the transaxle.
  2. Install the transaxle control cable and adjust as follows:
    1. Move the shift lever and the transaxle range switch to the "N" position and install the control cable.
    2. When connecting the control cable to the transaxle mounting bracket, install the clip until it contacts to the control cable.
    3. Remove any free-play in the control cable by adjusting the nut and then check to see that the selected lever moves smoothly.
    4. Check to see that the control cable has been adjusted correctly.
  3. Installation is the reverse of removal.
