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.
