INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL WIRING HARNESS CLAMP BRACKET

(a) Install the 3 wiring harness clamp brackets and connect the clutch control solenoid wire with the 3 bolts.

HINT:

Tighten the ground of the clutch control solenoid wire together with bolt A.

Torque:

19.6 N·m {200 kgf·cm, 14 ft·lbf}

(b) Connect the 3 clamps and 2 connectors and install the clutch control solenoid wire.

2. INSTALL TRANSFER AND TRANSAXLE SETTING STUD BOLT

3. INSTALL TRANSFER ASSEMBLY

(a) Clean the bolt holes.

*a	Union Nut Wrench
*b	Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

(b) Temporarily install the transfer assembly to the transaxle with the 8 nuts.

NOTICE:

Push the transfer assembly by hand until it is in close contact with the mating surface of the transaxle assembly.
If the entire mating surface does not come into close contact, tighten the nuts alternately in the order of nut A and nut B, and bring the mating surfaces into close contact little by little.
Make sure the mating surfaces of nut A and nut B are in close contact. Then temporarily tighten the nuts in order as follows and bring the entire circumference of the mating surface in close contact.

HINT:

Temporarily install order: Temporarily install nut (A) → Temporarily install nut (B) → Temporarily install nut (C) → Temporarily install nut (D) → Temporarily install nut (E) → Temporarily install nut (F) → Temporarily install nut (G) → Temporarily install nut (H)

SST: 09961-00950

Torque:

Specified tightening torque :

68.6 N·m {700 kgf·cm, 51 ft·lbf}

HINT:

Tightening order: Tighten nut (A) → Tighten nut (B) → Tighten nut (C) → Tighten nut (D) → Tighten nut (E) → Tighten nut (F) → Tighten nut (G) → Tighten nut (H)
This torque value is effective when SST is straight to a torque wrench.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
