Inspect the transaxle roll resistor for debris (stones, ice, snow, etc.). Remove any debris. Remove the roll restrictor from the cross member and install an adhesive pad AS4Z-6C038-A to the roll restrictor.

Using a razor or Exacto knife, remove excess pad material within the rectangular area. Install the adhesive pad aligned properly as to not interfere with clamping force. No material should be trapped between the roll resistor and cross member.

Install the roll restrictor and tighten the attachment bolt to 52 ft.-lbs.
