Removal And Installation

Removal




- Disconnect drive shafts.
- Remove bolts securing torque converter to drive plate.
a. Remove those bolts by turning crankshaft.
b. Immediately after transaxle is disconnected, inscribe matching marks on torque converter and drive plate so that they may be reinstalled in their original positions.
- Plug up openings such as oil charging pipe, etc.

CAUTION: Take care when dismounting transaxle not to strike any adjacent parts.

Installation







- Tighten bolt securing transaxle.




- Drive plate runout
Maximum allowable runout: 0.5 mm (0.020 in)

If this runout is out of allowance, replace drive plate and ring gear.




- When connecting torque converter to transaxle measure distance "A" to be certain that they are correctly assembled.

Distance "A": 19 mm (0.75 in) or more

- Install converter to drive plate. Refer to photograph in Removal.

Align matching marks painted across both parts during disassembly.

- After converter is installed, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that transaxle rotates freely without binding.
- Adjust control cable and throttle wire. Refer to On-vehicle Service. On Vehicle Service
- Check inhibitor switch for operation.
- Check fluid level in transaxle.
- Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that transaxle operates correctly.
With hand brake applied, rotate engine at idling. Without disturbing the above setting, move selector lever through to "N" to "D", to "2" to "1", and to "R". A slight shock should be felt by hand gripping hand lever each time transaxle is shifted.
- Check to be sure that line pressure is correct. To do this, refer to Pressure Testing. Pressure Testing
- Perform stall test
