INSTALLATION
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order, noting the following points:
11. Transmission
- Apply a thin coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to the top gear shaft spline.
- Slowly operate the transmission jack until the front of transmission is aligned with rear of the engine.
The slope of the engine and the transmission must be the same.
