Transaxle Installation
Installation of the transaxle is generally the reverse of the
removal procedure. Observe the following notes when
reinstalling transaxle:
1. Leave all mounting hardware (axle bolts, front torque
strap locknuts, hydro control lever linkages) until all
components have been reinstalled.
2. Use standard torque specs except as follows:
• 10-32 screw securing plastic hydro lever (if
removed) - 55-75 in. lbs.
• 5/16-18 locknut securing shock absorber to hydro
lever - 9-11 ft. lbs.
3. Inspect drive belt before reinstallation. If wear if
noted, replacement is recommended at this time.
4. When reinstalling rear hydro shift rod, belt must be
positioned around idler pulley and above
shift rod as
shown in figure C-48 before assembling shift rod to
hydro lever.
5. Purge air from the transaxle. See Purging Air From
Transaxle in the Adjustments section.
