Automatic Transaxle (A/T) Gear Position IndicatorThis indicator in the instrument panel shows which gear has been selected.
Transler Mochanism {4WD}
The transfer mechanism consists of the transfer shaft drive gear. the transfer shaft. the transfer drive gear, the transfer driv-en gear shaft, and the companion flange, The transfer mechanism assembly is on the rear side ot the transmission. besidethe differential. The transfer shaft drive gear on the final driven gear drives the transfer shaft driven qear. power is transmit-ted to the rear differential via the transfer shaft and the Drooeller shaft.
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 andsteel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmifted through the engaged clutch pack to its hu$mounted gear. When hydraulic pressure is bled from the clutch pack, the piston releases the friction discs and steel plates, andthey are free to slide past each other. This allows the gearto spin independently on its shaft, transmitting no power.
lst Clutch
The 1st clutch engages/disengages lst gear, and is located at the end ofthe mainshaft, just behind the end cover.The 1st clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.
lst-hold Clutch
The 1st-hold clutch engages/disengages 1st-hold or E position, and is located at the middle of the sub-shaft. The 1st-holdclutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the sub-shaft.
2nd Clutch
The znd ciutch engages/disengages 2nd gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is joined back-to-back to the 4th clutch. The 2nd clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure through the mainshaft by a circuit connected to theinternal hydraulic circuit.

Interlock System
Interlock Control Unit Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS
section (24) before performing repairs or service.
'1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see section 20).
2. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock control unit.
3. Inspect the connector and connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.
- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute a known-good control unit, and recheck the system. lf the check is OK,
the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when the ign ition switch is tu rned ON (ll) while pressing the brake pedal withthe
shift lever in E position, the shift lock system is OK. lf the shift lever cannot be shifted from E position. test the A/T
gear position switch.
