and then release wire harnesses from clamps.
8. Disconnect following hoses:
- Canister purge hose from EVAP canister purge valve
- Brake booster hose from intake manifold
- Radiator outlet hose from inlet pipe
- Heater inlet and outlet hose from heater unit
9. Disconnect fuel feed and return hoses from fuel delivery pipe.
10. Remove exhaust No.1pipe (if equipped) and exhaust pipe.
11. Remove right and left engine under covers.
12. Remove gear shift control shaft from transmission and remove extension rod (M/T).
13. For A/T vehicle, disconnect A/T select cable from A/T.
14. Drain engine and transmission oil.
15. Disconnect drive shaft joints from differential gears of transmission or center bearing support. In this case, it is not necessary to disconnect drive shafts from steering knuckle.
16. With hoses connected, detach A/C compressor and/or P/S pump with bracket from cylinder block, if equipped.
NOTE: Suspend removed compressor and/or pump at a place where no damage will be caused during removal and installation of engine with transmission.
17. Disconnect P/S hose from P/S oil pump. (if equipped)
NOTE: Plug pipe, hose and pump port.
18. Install lifting device.
19. Remove rear mounting from body. (For M/T model) Remove rear torque rod (For A/T model).
20. Remove engine left mounting from body.
21. Remove engine right mounting from right mounting bracket and stiffener.
22. Before removing engine with transmission from body, recheck to make sure all hoses, electric wires and cables are disconnected from engine and transmission.
23. Lower engine with transmission from body.
INSTALLATION

5. Tighten bolts and nuts of all parts installed in above steps 2), 3) and 4) or 5) to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 55 Nm (40.0 ft. lbs.)
6. Remove lifting device.
7. Reverse removal procedures for installation of remainder.
- Push in each drive shaft joint fully so that snap ring engages with differential gear or center bearing support. Use care not to damage oil seal lip when inserting.
- Clamp electric wire securely.
8. Adjust clutch pedal free travel. (M/T)
Adjust gear select cable and A/T throttle pressure control cable. (A/T)
9. Adjust gear shift control lever. (M/T)
10. Adjust accelerator cable play.
11. Refill transmission with gear oil. (A/T fluid for A/T model).
12. Refill engine with engine oil.
