Removal & Installation: Engine: Installation

1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten engine mounts in specified sequence. See Fig 1 . Improper engine mount tightening will result in excessive engine vibration and premature engine mount wear.
2. When installing drive axles, use new spring clips. Insert drive axle until spring clip clicks into groove of differential side gear. Ensure all wire harness connectors and hoses are connected properly. Check throttle cable adjustment. See THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT  under ADJUSTMENTS.
3. On manual transaxle models, adjust clutch pedal free play. Ensure transaxle shifts smoothly. On automatic transaxle models, ensure gear position agrees with shift indicator.
4. On all models, adjust tension of accessory drive belts. Fill all fluids to proper level. Bleed air from cooling system. See BLEEDING COOLING SYSTEM  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
