Band: Adjustments
CAUTION:- Clean the transaxle exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents.
- Wear eye protection when using compressed air to clean components.
1. Support the engine by using the SST (or equivalent).
2. Raise the vehicle and support it with safety stands.
3. Drain the ATF into a container.
4. Remove the engine mounting member.
5. Remove the oil pan, gasket, and control valve body, refer to CONTROL VALVE BODY.
NOTICE:
- Do not reuse the gasket.
- Prevent entry of dust, etc. into the control valve body.
6. Compress the servo retainer, remove the snap ring, then remove the band servo assembly.
NOTICE: Do not deform the snap ring when removing it.
7. Install the servo piston to the SST.
8. Remove the O-ring from the servo retainer and install it onto the SST.
9. Coat the O-ring with ATF, install the band servo assembly and SST into the transaxle case and secure it with the snap ring.
10. Set a dial indicator against the piston stem.
11. Apply compressed air through the fluid passage with a rubber-tipped air nozzle as shown and measure the piston stem stroke.
Air pressure: 57 psi (392 kPa) maximum
Stroke: 0.039-0.067 inch (1.0-1.7 mm)
12. If not within specification, select the proper piston stem from the chart.
13. Remove the band servo assembly and remove the SST.
NOTICE: Do not deform the snap ring when removing it.
14. Replace the O-rings with new ones.
15. Install the band servo assembly into the transaxle case and secure it with the snap ring.
16. Install the control valve body and oil pan, refer to CONTROL VALVE BODY.
17. Loosely install nuts A and bolts B of the engine mounting member.
18. Install the engine mounting member.
Tightening torque:
(A): 28 - 38 ft. lbs. (38 - 51 Nm)
(B): 48 - 65 ft. lbs. (64 - 89 Nm)
19. Remove the SST (engine support) from the engine.
20. Pour in ATF, and with the engine idling, check the ATF level and check for leaks, refer to FLUID LEAKS.
21. Drive the vehicle and check the shift points, shift schedule, and shift quality, refer to ROAD TEST.
