Overhauling a manual transaxle is a challenging task for a do-it-yourselfer, requiring the disassembly and reassembly of numerous small parts, along with precise measurement of clearances that may need adjustment using select-fit spacers and snap-rings. While a competent individual can remove and install a transaxle, the overhaul process is best left to a repair shop, as the time and expense often surpass the cost of a rebuilt unit, which may be available through dealer parts departments and auto parts stores. An inexperienced mechanic can successfully rebuild a transaxle if equipped with the necessary special tools and approaches the job methodically to avoid overlooking any details. Essential tools for the overhaul include internal and external snap-ring pliers, a bearing puller, a slide hammer, a set of pin punches, a dial indicator, and possibly a hydraulic press, along with a sturdy workbench and a vise or transaxle stand. Careful documentation during disassembly is crucial, noting the arrangement and securing methods of each part to facilitate reassembly. Additionally, having an understanding of the malfunctioning area of the transaxle can simplify the examination and replacement of components, as certain issues are often linked to specific regions within the transaxle.

Ensure to refill the transaxle with the specified lubricant, tighten the driveaxle/hub nuts and wheel lug nuts to the correct torque, and conduct a road test for proper operation while checking for leaks.

Remove the front section of the exhaust pipe, driveaxles, and intermediate shaft. Take off the torque converter cover and the nearby engine-to-transmission bolts, marking the relationship between the torque converter and driveplate for reinstallation.
