Transmission / Drive Axle

3.1 Warnings and Notices

3.1.1 Warnings and Notices
Battery Disconnect Warning
Warning!
Warning: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and
start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and
all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any
electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery
cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or
equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical
terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result
in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its
components.
Clutch Dust Warning
Warning!
Warning: When servicing clutch parts, do not create dust
by grinding or sanding the clutch disc or by cleaning parts
with a dry brush or with compressed air. A water-
dampened cloth--NOT SOAKED--should be used. The
clutch disc may contain fibers which can become
airborne if dust is created during servicing. Breathing
dust with fibers may cause serious bodily harm.
Moving Parts and Hot Surfaces Warning
Warning!
Warning: Avoid contact with moving parts and hot
surfaces while working around a running engine in order
to prevent physical injury.
Protective Goggles and Glove Warning
Warning!
Warning: Approved safety glasses and gloves should be
worn when performing this procedure to reduce the
chance of personal injury.
Road Test Warning
Warning!
Warning: Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and
while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any
maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure
to adhere to these precautions could lead to serious
personal injury and vehicle damage.
Warnings and Notices
Engine Lifting Notice
Note
Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any
reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet
metal, or the crankshaft pulley. Lifting the engine in an
unapproved manner may cause component damage.
Fastener Notice
Note
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location.
Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number
for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or
fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound
or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not
use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on
fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping
force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications when installing
fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Sealant Notice
Note
Notice: Do not allow the RTV sealant to enter any blind
threaded hole. RTV sealant that is allowed to enter a
blind threaded hole can cause hydraulic lock of the
fastener when the fastener is tightened. Hydraulic lock
of a fastener can lead to damage to the fastener and/or
the components. Hydraulic lock of a fastener can also
prevent the proper clamping loads to be obtained when
the fastener is tightened. Improper clamping loads can
prevent proper sealing of the components allowing
leakage to occur. Preventing proper fastener tightening
can allow the components to loosen or separate leading
to extensive engine damage.
