AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OVERHAUL

DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION
•
Because the automatic transaxle is manufactured from
high-precision parts, care must be taken not to scratch
or damage these parts during disassembly and
assembly.
•
The working area should be covered with a rubber mat
to keep it clean at all times.
•
Do not wear any cloth gloves and do not use any shop
towels during disassembly. Use only nylon cloth, paper
towels or any other lint-free material.
•
Parts which have been disassembled should all be
cleaned. Metal parts can be cleaned with normal
detergent, but they should be dried completely using
compressed air.
•
Clutch discs, plastic thrust plates and rubber parts
should be cleaned with automatic transmission fluid
(ATF).
•
If the transaxle body has been damaged, disassemble
and clean the cooler system.
1. Remove the torque converter.
2. Remove each bracket.
3. Remove the dipstick.
4. Remove the eye bolt gauge, gaskets and the oil cooler feed
tube.
5. Remove the input shaft speed sensor and output shaft
speed sensor.
CAUTION
The manual control lever tightening nut must be removed
before removing the valve body. If the valve body is
removed before the nut, the park/neutral position switch
will be damaged.
6. Loosen the manual control lever tightening nut, and then
remove the manual control lever, and the park/neutral
position switch.
