A/T - Slipping in 2nd Gear

TRANSMISSION
REFERENCE AND CLUTCH
NUMBER 025
DATE 7-26-84
MODEL SV, CE, AE (FF)
The purpose of this bulletin is to aid in the diagnosis and repair of the A140E, A130L and A131L automatic transaxles.

CONDITION:

Transmission slippage in second gear.

POSSIBLE CAUSE:

Internal pressure loss at second brake drum (B2) seal.

REMEDY:

Check the condition of the transmission fluid. If the fluid appears to be "normal", not excessively discolored and not exhibiting a "burnt" smell, replacement of the B2 seal should correct the condition. However, if the fluid appears to be excessively discolored or exhibits a "burnt" smell, along with the new B2 seal, it may be necessary to replace the second brake discs and plates. The new components must be installed in the following order:

A140E and A130L; flange-disc-plate-disc-plate-disc-plate.

A131L; flange-disc-plate-plate-disc-plate-plate.

For further assembly procedures, please reference the appropriate section in the repair manual.


Install a new second brake drum (B2) seal, (P/N 35159-32010) to the proper

+0.05 +0.002
designated depth of 29

-0.00 mm (1.14 -0.000 in.). This measurement must

be taken from the case surface with the second brake apply gasket removed.

Brake Drum Seal:

NOTE: The second brake drum must be in the transaxle case when installing the B2 seal.
