DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION

• Because the automatic transmission is manufactured 

from high-precision parts, sufficient care must be taken 
not to scratch or damage these parts during disassem-
bly and reassembly.

• During the work, always use bare hands or vinyl 

gloves. Do not use cotton gloves. Use nylon cloth or 
paper towels when necessary. Do not use shop towels.

• Parts which have been disassembled should be 

cleaned. Metal parts can be cleaned with normal deter-
gent, but they should be dried completely using com-
pressed air.

• Clutch discs, plastic thrust race and rubber parts 

should be cleaned with ATF automatic transmission 
fluid so that they do not become dirty.

• If the transmission body has been damaged, disassem-

ble and clean the cooler system also.
