Q: How to remove and reinstall the driveplate and transaxle on Honda Odyssey?
A: Remove the engine and transaxle, then separate the transaxle from the engine. Remove the bolts that secure the driveplate to the crankshaft. Clean the driveplate and inspect the surface for cracks, checking for worn, cracked, or broken ring-gear teeth. Lay the driveplate on a flat surface and use a straightedge to check for warpage. Clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the driveplate and the crankshaft, replacing the crankshaft oil seal if it is leaking before reinstalling the driveplate. Position the driveplate against the crankshaft, ensuring correct installation with the offset bolt holes. Follow a crisscross pattern to tighten the bolts in several stages to the specified torque. The remainder of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
