This document is page MT-7 from a Nissan factory service manual's Manual Transaxle (MT) section, covering the first five steps of transaxle disassembly. Step 1 instructs removal of bolts and plugs (including a labeled 'Special bolt') before removing the transaxle case, shown in illustration SMT977. Step 2 covers removal of the position switch (illustration SMT883). Step 3 describes taking off the transmission case and removing the guide plate and reverse bracket assembly (SMT919). Step 4 shows removal of the reverse idler gear and reverse idler shaft (SMT954). Step 5 covers removal of the bearing retainer (SMT920). Each step is accompanied by a detailed line-art exploded or in-situ illustration identifying the relevant components (special bolt, position switch, reverse bracket assembly, guide plate, reverse idler shaft/gear, and bearing retainer). The page contains no torque specifications, part numbers, or year/model applicability statements; it serves as the visual and procedural guide for beginning teardown of the manual transaxle. It was uploaded to a 1990 Nissan Micra gallery as part of a larger multi-page manual scan set.
