SHIFTER

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THIS SECTION

Hydraulic floor jack (or chain hoist)
Jack stands (2) (one ton capacity)
Standard slip joint pliers
External snap ring pliers (.047-in. tip)
90° Internal snap ring pliers (.090-in. tip)

LUBRICATION

There are two oil port plugs located on the right (driven clutch) side of the unitized transaxle (Figure 20-3, Page 20-2).
When the vehicle is on a level surface, use the upper plug as a lubricant level indicator. Lubricant level should be even
with the bottom of level indicator hole. Use the lower plug for draining. When draining lubricant, remove both plugs to
allow the lubricant to drain faster. Clean and reinstall the drain plug and gasket before filling the transaxle with new
lubricant. Use a funnel when filling the transaxle through the lubricant level indicator hole. Fill with 27 oz. (0.8 liter)
80-90 WT. API class GL or 80-90 WT. AGMA class 5 EP gear lubricant (or until lubricant begins to run out of the level
indicator hole). Tighten the plug to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m).

AXLE SHAFT

See General Warning on page 1-1.
Removal of the unitized transaxle is not required for servicing or replacing axle shafts, axle bearings, or axle shaft oil
seals. If the unitized transaxle is to be removed from the vehicle, do not remove the wheels, axle shafts, or axle tubes
first. Instructions for removing the unitized transaxle from the vehicle begin on page 20-7.
