7A3-50 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE)

Major Components
Disassembly, inspection and reassembly of each
component group is indicated in the following chapter.
Before reassembly, make sure, again, that all
component groups are assembled correctly.
If something wrong is found in a certain component
group during assembly, inspect and repair this group
immediately.
General Assembly Notes:
1. The automatic transmission is composed of highly
precision-finished parts, necessitating careful
inspection before assembly because even a small
nick could cause fluid leakage or affect
performance.


2. Before assembling new clutch discs and brake
bands, soak them in automatic transmission fluid fo
r
at least thirty minutes.
3.
Apply automatic transmission fluid on the sliding or
rotating surfaces of parts before assembly.
4. Use petroleum jelly to keep small parts in thei
r
palces.
5. Do not use adhesive cements on gaskets and similar parts.
6. When assembling the transmission, be sure to use new gaskets and O-rings.
7. Dry all parts with compressed air - never use shop rags.
8. Be sure to install the thrust bearings and races in the correct direction and position.

Diaassembly, Inspection and
Reassembly of minor Components
NOTE: The instructions here are organized so that you
work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar-looking parts
of different subassemblies being on your workbench at
the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from
the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair
and reassembly before proceeding to the nex t
component group. If a component group cannot be
reassembled because parts are being ordered, be sure
to keep all parts of that group in separate container
while proceeding with disassembly, inspection, repair
and reassembly of other component groups.
Recommended ATF type DEXRON III.
General Cleaning Notes:
1. All disassembled parts should be washed clean and
any fluid passages and holes should be blown
through with compressed air.
2. When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim
away from yourself to prevent accidentally spraying
automatic transmission fluid in your face.
3. The recommended automatic transmission fluid
should be used for cleaning.
Parts Arrangement:
1. After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in
proper order to allow performing inspection, repairs,
and reassembly with efficiency.
2. When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep
each valve together with the corresponding spring.
3. New brakes and clutches that are to be used for
replacement must be soaked in transmission fluid
for at least thirty minutes before assembly.
General Assembly:
1. All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating
parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
2. All gaskets and rubber O-ring should be replaced.
3. Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not
aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in
the groove correctly.
4. If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the
subassembly containing that bushing must be
replaced.
5. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or
damage. Replace if necessary.
6. Use petroleum jelly or vaseline to keep parts in
place.

7A1-8 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENT
TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)

The torque converter is a device for transmitting the engine torque to the transmission. It transmits power
by means of oil when the lock-up is disengaged and by means of a lock-up piston when it is engaged.

The torque converter is of the symmetrical, three-element, single-stage, two-phase type.

As shown in the drawing, the symmetrical three-elements refer to three elements (components) consisting
of impeller (1), turbine (2) and stator (3) that are arranged symmetrically (figure 5).

"Single-stage" means that there is only one turbine as an output element; "two-phase" means that the
pump impeller acts as a torque converter when the turbine speed is comparatively low, and as a fluid
coupling when the speed is high.

Figure 6. Construction of Torque Converter

Lock-up mechanism

"Lock-up" refers to a fixed state of the lock-up piston inside the torque converter and thus connects the
engine directly to the transmission.

The hydraulic pressure for the lock-up control is supplied from two circuits.

When the lock-up is disengaged (Figure 7)

When the lock-up is disengaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage
(A) to between the cover and the lock-up piston, and separates the lock-up piston clutch facing and
converter cover.

As a result, the engine drive power is transmitted from the converter cover to the pump impeller, the ATF
and to the turbine. The torque converter function as a fluid connector in this condition.

The torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage (A), passes through the oil
passage (B).

When the lock-up is engaged (Figure 8)

When the lock-up is engaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from oil passage (B) to
the oil pump impeller, turbine, then to the stator side. The oil between the lock-up piston and converter
cover is drained.

Since the force acting on the right side of the lock-up piston is greater than force on the left side, it
connects the lock-up piston clutch facing with the converter cover, thereby increasing the transmission
efficiency.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-11


The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, which are called front planetary gear and rear
planetary gear.

The sun gear of front planetary gear is fixed to the drive plates of 2-4 brake and reverse clutch.

The planetary carrier of front planetary gear is fixed to the drum of low clutch, the drive plates of low &
reverse brake and the hub of high clutch.

The internal gear of front planetary gear and the planetary carrier of rear planetary gear are connected as
one, and they are fixed to output shaft.

The sun gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to input shaft.

The internal gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to the hub of low clutch.

Clutch and Brake

Basic structure of the clutch and brake is shown in the figures below.

In the figure A, the clutch plates (drive plate and driven plate) are in the fluid so that they slip against each
other transmitting no power.

Figure B shows the condition where the oil pressure is acting on the piston. The clutch plates are fitted
to each other under pressure transmitting the rotations of the clutch drum to the clutch hub.

When the oil pressure is removed from the piston, the clutch returns to the condition in the figure A by the
return spring.


Figure 13. Basic Construction of Clutch and Brake

Low Clutch, High Clutch and Reverse Clutch (Multi-Plate Clutch)

The multi-plate clutch is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the
control valve according to the signal from the TCM.

All clutches use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.

For the reverse clutch, a piston check ball is used to release the oil pressure for the purpose of preventing
the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the
clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).

For the low clutch and high clutch, a centrifugal balance chamber always full of ATF is provided to offset
the excessive oil pressure, for the purpose of preventing the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by
residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).

The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the speed change signal from TCM and moves the
shift valve, thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.

Resultantly, elements of the planetary gear unit are combined.

When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position by the force of the return
spring.

7A2-6 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING

Transmission fluid pressure together with clutch and brake friction and other important transmission functions are
controlled by electrical signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Random diagnosis can produce inaccurate and misleading indications. It is important that diagnosing procedure be
carried out systematically.
Carefully follow the sequence outlined below to diagnose automatic transmission assembly.
