Inspection/Adjustment

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with

no load (transmission in or position) until the

radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly with

no binding or sticking. Repair as necessary.

3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cable

deflection should be 10 - 12 mm (0.39 - 0.47 in.)

Description

The automatic transmission is a combination of a 3-element torque converter and a dual-shaft electronically controlled

automatic transmission which provides 4 speeds forward and 1 reverse. The entire unit is positioned in line with the engine.

Torque Converter, Gears and Clutches

The torque converter consists of a pump, turbine, and stator, assembled in a single unit. They are connected to the engine

crankshaft so they turn together as a unit as the engine turns. Around the outside of the drive plate is a ring gear which

meshes with the starter pinion when the engine is being started.

The entire torque converter assembly serves as a flywheel while transmitting power to the transmission mainshaft.

The transmission has two parallel shafts: the mainshaft and the countershaft. The mainshaft is in line with the engine

crankshaft. The mainshaft includes the 1st, 4th and 2nd clutches and gears for 4th, 1st, 2nd and reverse (3rd gear is integral

with the mainshaft). The countershaft includes the 3rd, 1st-hold and reverse clutches, and gears for 3rd, 4th, 1st, 2nd,

reverse and parking. The secondary drive gear is integrated with the countershaft. The gears on the mainshaft are in con-

stant mesh with those on the countershaft. When certain combinations of gears in the transmission are engaged by clutch-

positions.

and
es, power is transmitted from the mainshaft to the countershaft to provide

Electronic Control

The electronic control system consists of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM), sensors, a linear solenoid and four solenoid

valves. Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions.

The PCM is located below the dashboard, under the front lower panel on the passenger's side.

Hydraulic Control

The lower valve body assembly includes the main valve body, the secondary valve body, the throttle valve body, the lin-

ear solenoid, the shift control solenoid valves and the ATF passage body. They are bolted on the lower part of the trans-

mission housing. The regulator valve body, the ATF pump body, and the accumulator body are bolted to the torque con-

verter housing.

The main valve body on '96 model contains the manual valve, the 1-2 shift valve, the 2-3 shift valve, the 3-4 shift valve, the

4-3 kick-down valve and the Clutch Pressure Control (CPC) valve. The main valve body on '97 model contains the manual

valve, the 1-2 shift valve, the 2-3 shift valve, the 3-4 shift valve, the 4-3 kick-down valve and the main orifice control valve.

The secondary valve body on '96 model contains the 3-4 orifice control valve, the 4-3 shift timing valve, the modulator valve

and the accumulator pistons.The secondary valve body on '97 model contains the 3-4 orifice control valve, the 4-3 shift tim-

ing valve, the line pressure control valve, the modulator valve and the accumulator pistons. The throttle valve body

includes the throttle valve which is bolted onto the secondary valve body. The linear solenoid is joined to the throttle valve

body. The regulator valve body contains the regulator valve, the lock-up shift valve and the cooler relief valve. Fluid from

the regulator passes through the manual valve to the various control valves. The ATF pump body contains the lock-up tim-

ing valve, the lock-up control valve and the relief valve. The torque converter check valve is located in the torque converter

housing under the ATF pump body. The accumulator body contains the accumulator pistons. The reverse accumulator and

the 1st-hold accumulator pistons are assembled in the rear cover.

The 1st, 1st-hold, 2nd and reverse clutches receive fluid from their respective feed pipes, and the 3rd and 4th clutches

receive fluid from the internal hydraulic circuit.

Shift Control Mechanism

Input from various sensors located throughout the vehicle determines which shift control solenoid valve the PCM will acti-

vate. Activating a shift control solenoid valve changes modulator pressure, causing a shift valve to move. This pressurizes a

line to one of the clutches, engaging the clutch and its corresponding gear.

er through a fluid passage, causing the lock-up piston to be held against the torque converter cover. As this takes place, the

mainshaft rotates at the same speed as the engine crankshaft. Together with hydraulic control, the PCM optimizes the tim-

ing of the lock-up mechanism. The lock-up valves control the range of lock-up according to lock-up control solenoid valves

A and B, and throttle valve. When lock-up control solenoid valves A and B activate, modulator pressure changes. The lock-

up control solenoid valves A and B are mounted on the torque converter housing, and are controlled by the PCM.

Description

Clutches

The four-speed automatic transmission uses hydraulically-actuated clutches to engage or disengage the transmission gears.

When the hydraulic pressure is introduced into the clutch drum, the clutch piston moves. This presses the friction discs

and steel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmitted through the engaged clutch pack to its

hub-mounted gear.

Likewise, when the hydraulic pressure is bled from the clutch pack, the piston releases the friction discs and steel plates, and

they are free to slide past each. This allows the gear to spin independently of its shaft, transmitting no power.

1st Clutch

The 1st clutch, engages/disengages 1st gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 1st clutch is joined back-to-

back to the 4th clutch. The 1st clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.

shaft. The 1st-hold clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the countershaft.
1st-hold Clutch

The 1st-hold clutch engages/disengages 1st-hold,

position, and is located at the middle of the counter-

2nd Clutch

The 2nd clutch engages/disengages 2nd gear, and is located on the rear end of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is supplied

hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.

3rd Clutch

The 3rd clutch engages/disengages 3rd gear, and is located at the end of the countershaft, opposite the rear cover. The

3rd clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by a circuit connected to the internal hydraulic circuit.

4th Clutch

The 4th clutch engages/disengages 4th gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 4th clutch is joined back-

to-back to the 1st clutch. The 4th clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by a circuit connected to the internal hydraulic cir-

cuit.

Reverse Clutch

The reverse clutch engages/disengages reverse gear, and is located on the rear end of the countershaft. The reverse clutch is

supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the countershaft.

One-way Clutch

This transmission has two one-way clutches: the 1st gear one-way clutch and the 2nd gear one-way clutch. The 1st gear

one-way clutch is positioned between the countershaft 1st gear and the one-way clutch hub, with the one-way clutch hub

splined to the countershaft 2nd gear. The countershaft 1st gear provides the outer race surface, and the one-way clutch

hub provides the inner race surface. The 2nd gear one-way clutch is positioned between the countershaft 2nd gear and

the parking gear, with the parking gear splined to the countershaft. The countershaft 2nd gear provides the outer race sur-

face, and the parking gear provides the inner race surface. The one-way clutches lock up when power is transmitted from

the mainshaft 1st gear to the countershaft 1st gear. The 2nd gear one-way clutch locks up when power is transmitted from

the mainshaft 2nd gear to the countershaft 2nd gear.

The 1st clutch and gears remain engaged in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear positions in the
