Automatic transaxle is composed of delicate components. Be careful not to cause any damage on the component in the course of assembly and disassembly.
Maintain clean condition so that foreign substance does not get into the automatic transaxle.
Use a coated apron, latex gloves, and stainless tray to prevent foreign substance from getting into the transaxle.
Automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) can be reused. Collect it using a clean 10-liter beaker.

Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
Remove the air cleaner assembly and air duct.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "AIR CLEANER ")
Remove the battery and battery tray.
(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "BATTERY ")
Remove the drain plug (A) and drain the ATF totally and then reinstall the drain plug.
