VISUAL INSPECTION OF
REMANUFACTURED AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
Model:
ALL
DESCRIPTION:
Before replacing an automatic transaxle with a remanufactured unit, it is critical that the technician perform a "30 second walkaround" comparison of the two units. This quick inspection will ensure that the replacement transaxle is fully compatible with the original unit.
INSPECTION:
Prior to installation, carefully compare the two transaxles, looking especially at the following:
1. Torque converter - ring gear location (stepped versus flush), number of bolts and bolt thread pitch
2. Solenoid and temperature sensor connectors - flush connector or extension harness and number of pins
3. Kickdown servo switch - electrical connector configuration
4. Range switch - connector configuration and number of pins
The inspection should be conducted whenever a transaxle is replaced to confirm that the transaxle is compatible, prior to attempting installation.
NOTE: If an incorrect transaxle has been ordered and not installed or damaged, your Parts Department may return it to the PDC through DCS using the new 45-day BC Return Program.
If an incorrect transaxle has been installed or damaged, it must be returned to the remanufacturer. Please write "ordered in error" or "damaged" in the space for the old ATM serial number on the "Core Return Checklist".
