Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000007357304

INSPECTION

With the shift selector in the “P” position, turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the engine OFF.

Confirm that the following conditions apply.

• The shift selector can be moved from the “P” position only when the brake pedal is depressed.

• The shift selector stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the posi-

tions.

• There is no excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.

• The actual position of the shift selector matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and the A/

T body.

• The back-up lamps illuminate only when the shift selector is placed in the “R” position.

• The back-up lamps do not illuminate when the shift selector is pushed against the “R” position when in the

“P” or “N” position. 

• The engine can only be started with the shift selector in the “P” and “N” positions.

• The A/T is locked completely when the shift selector is in the “P” position.

ADJUSTMENT

1. Loosen nut (A) of A/T shift selector control cable.
2. Place the manual lever (B) and shift selector in “P” position.
3. Push the A/T shift selector control cable in the direction shown

with a force of 9.8 N (1kg, 2.2 lb), and release it, this is in the

natural state. Tighten A/T shift selector control cable nut (A) to

specifications.

Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000007357305

Removal

1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to 

TM-159, "Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)"

.

2. Remove clips (1) (VK56DE engine models) and oil pan bolts.

 Vehicle front

 Oil pan bolts

• Drain plug (3)

3. Remove oil pan (2) and oil pan gasket.

4. Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark,

has some burned smell, or contains foreign particles then friction material (clutches, band) may need

replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves,

servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.

CAUTION:

If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to 

TM-160, "A/T

Fluid Cooler Cleaning"

.

5. Remove the oil pan magnets from oil pan.

Installation

1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.

• Drain plug (3)

CAUTION:

• Be sure the oil drain plug is located to the rear of the

transmission assembly.

• Before installing oil pan bolts, remove any traces of old

sealant from the sealing surfaces and threaded holes.

• Do not reuse old gasket, replace with a new one.

• Always replace the oil pan bolts as they are self-sealing.

• Partially install the oil pan bolts in a criss-cross pattern to prevent dislocation of the gasket.

3. Tighten oil pan bolts in numerical order as shown.

4. Install drain plug with new gasket to oil pan and tighten to speci-

fication.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse drain plug gasket.

5. Refill the A/T with fluid and check for fluid leaks. Refer to 

TM-157, "Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)"
